Finals Week, As Told By Mindy Lahiri

Finals Week, As Told By Mindy Lahiri
Lovelace Media

Finals week is dreaded by all. You start off the semester pretending it doesn't exist, but then it hits you like a freight train. It never matters if you're taking an easy semester or if you're grades are already where you need them. Finals week is when you re-evaluate all your life choices leading up to the actual exams, and probably for a few hours (or days) after.

1. You realize that finals are just around the corner.


2. Your parents are concerned about your grades.

3. But everything is just fine, because you have a plan.


You convince yourself that, for once in your college career, you have your life together for this finals week. This finals week will be different than the last time.

4. You try to start studying ahead of time.

You mean to study for that biology final, but instead you've found out that munchkin cats are a thing.

5. You're also trying to comfort your friends through this trying time.

This is a time to be kind to everyone on campus, because we're all in the same boat.

6. You try the whole "dress well, test well" thing.

Maybe your life is falling apart at the seams, but at least you look great ... and have a better chance at finding a Sugar Daddy...

7. But most days, the general public is lucky if you put pants on at all.


8. There is not enough food in the world to drown your sorrows in.

Dear sir making my nachos at Qdoba, I'm going to need ALL of the cheese today.

9. You've completely given up on going to the gym at this point in the semester.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

10. You've also just given up on life.

You lay on the floor and contemplate writing your will instead of studying. You figure your will is probably more useful at this point.

11. You briefly consider your other options.

If you have never done this, you're lying. Or you're doing something very right, and I need you to tell me your secrets.

12. Just remember, you can do this.

It's one week. One truly awful week, but you can get through this. Just remember, pain is temporary, but GPA is forever. No pressure.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
