Finals Week As Told By 'Friends'

It's that time of the year again. Christmas is in the air, break is only a few days away, and our motivation is dropping faster than the temperature. We stretch ourselves to our very ends and cram as much information into our heads as possible. Around campus, the look on every student's face is a mix of stress and sleep deprivation, the library is packed 24 hours a day, and caffeine becomes our best friend. If you begin suffering from these problems, just know that you're not alone and try to laugh it off with these relatable moments from our favorite 90s sitcom.


You came back from Thanksgiving Break like


But then realized you forgot everything you learned prior



When the professor is explaining what will be on the final



And the thought of taking it makes you want to scream



Your wardrobe stays fairly consistent the whole week




Running on very little sleep



So little that you start going crazy



And are forced to caffeinate every morning like




After hour 5 of binge studying




And finding yourself thinking about all the things you'd rather be doing



And deciding you can't take another minute of studying




Because you've lost all your motivation




When the person who hasn't showed up to class all semester asks to borrow your study guide



Your emotions are all over the place



And you result to stress eating




When your smart friend says they'll study with you




When you see something on the final that you know the professor didn't cover



And looking at your professor like



Coming home from failing a final to find out your roommate aced theirs




Nailing your final presentation and watching the class go




When you find out you passed all your finals



Or if you don't do so well on them




When all your finals are FINALLY over



You go out and celebrate



And feel like a giant weight is lifted off your shoulders




Knowing you can finally relax and enjoy your winter break




Best of luck this week my fellow collegiates! Just remember that our month long break is only a few stressful days away!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
