Finals Week As Told By The Grinch
Universal

Every college student knows the feeling... coming back from Thanksgiving break thinking, "I only have two weeks until winter break... It can't be too bad." Little did we realize, these two weeks were about to be hell. Teaching yourself everything you were supposed to learn all term in two weeks is a lot harder than you thought, you're even more broke than you were before because of the amount of money you spent at Starbucks, and all you want is Christmas. Now that it's December, we can't wait to drink hot chocolate, listen to Christmas music, and eat a ton of cookies. The only this stopping us is.... you guessed it.... finals week.

When you do your best to be polite to the people next to you in the library who won't stop talking.

Sorting through the pile of papers sitting on your desk trying to find your notes.


That one teacher who doesn't give a final.


Trying to avoid studying at any and all costs.

When your teacher adds in one last assignment due before the final.

When you realize you haven't seen anyone in 96 hours because all you've done is study.

You have a sassier, angrier, more annoyed attitude because you're a little on edge.

When you realize you totally don't know as much as you thought you did.

Having a breakdown and crying but then realizing that you have a tight schedule and you don't have time to cry.

Deciding that you're gonna just drop out because it's easier that way.

You're super ready for Christmas time because it's the only thing getting you through this week.

Writing your course evaluations because your teacher made them a part of your grade.

While taking your final you're able to confidently answer at least one question without second guessing yourself.

When your professor wishes you a happy holiday as you leave the room from a final you just failed...

When you leave your last final at 5pm on the last day of finals week and you realize you're the last one on campus.

When finals are finally over and you are on your way home.

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.

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.
