Finals week is quickly coming up. Here are a couple recipes to try during finals in order to get your mind off of all of your reviews and de-stress, even if it’s only for a few minutes.

Passion Tea Lemonade

Ingredients

Water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teabag of Tazo Passion Tea
Ice

Preparation
Microwave one cup of water until it is boiling. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine one tablespoon of water and two tablespoons of sugar. Microwave on high for 20 to 25 seconds and then stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside. Place one teabag in a large glass. Steep the tea in the boiling water from above. Remove and throw away the tea bag after the tea has steeped for five minutes. Set tea aside to cool at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the tea in a serving glass and top with desired amount of ice. Add a few teaspoons of the sugar syrup mixture into the large glass and combine well with iced brewed tea. Serve immediately.

Puppy chow

Ingredients

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup margarine or butter
7 ½ cup Rice Chex cereal
Powdered sugar

Preparation

Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter or margarine together. Pour Rice Chex into a Ziploc large bowl. Next, pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Make sure all of the cereal is coated. Place the chocolate-covered cereal in a Ziploc bag. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cereal and shake well. Add more, if needed, and shake more until all the cereal is perfectly coated.

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.

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.
