Finals week fun.

Finals Week 101
Charlotte Mango

As finals week approaches quickly, all of our teachers are giving us our final projects, final homework assignments and packing our things up actually becomes a thing. Summer is approaching quickly. Our stress levels are either at their peaks or approaching. Finals week is miserable for everyone. Teachers and professors don't want to make tests, students don't want to take them, teachers don't want to grade them and we don't want to see the grades on them. Hold on to your seat belts kids because I'm about to give you a finals week survival starter pack.

1. If there is one fun thing to do that will give you a break during finals week, take advantage of it!

For example, on the Hill there is Midnight breakfast and bingo night. (Went to both last semester). Both are 100 percent worth it! Plus, who doesn't love food and games with prizes?

2. Alcohol (I'm not condoning this), Red Bull (or Monster) and coffee.

One of the three should work. But under no circumstances do I recommend mixing these. It could be toxic to you or the ones around you.

3. Studying in the packed library.

The library will be packed. Don't try it. Trust me, you won't get anything done because of slow WiFi.

4. Study during the day, not the night.

Studying at night can be painful and tiring, so try studying during the day. If you can get outside to study, do it! Studying inside is just as painful as trying to study at night.

5. The notecard.

If you can have a cheat note card or paper, use it. Trust me, I had one for Bio in high school and it helps.

6. Study guides.

If a teacher or professor gives you a study guide, put 98 percent of your studying focus for that class to that guide. Make note cards, use Quizlet and find a study buddy from that class.

7. Get out and enjoy the nice weather.

It will give you good vibes and you can study there if you want. Plus, you can get some vitamin D as well. Exercising outside can be very helpful for brain health and it is always nice to have a change of scenery.

Don't let finals week get the best of you. Happy "Hunger Games: Finals week" edition.

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.
