Finals Week As Told By 'This Is Us'

If you’re out on the street at 3:30 in the morning, at some point, you realize you made a very wrong turn

Finals Week As Told By 'This Is Us'

The most dreaded part of the school year is upon us: finals week. The amount of coffee you’ve consumed is more than you should drink in a year. The amount you’ve procrastinated is more than your parents want to know about. And the amount of time you've spent in the library is more than you did all semester. Luckily, “This Is Us” describes this crazy time for college students to those who are fortunate enough to not be going through it.

1. The weekend before finals begin



You start looking at your 16-page study guide and wonder how you ever will learn all of the material.

2. You then realize it's time to get to work


Once the tears have been wiped away and you realize that it's time to get off of Facebook, the real studying gets started.

3. After a little time, you decide you "deserve" a snack


You're halfway through that study guide and a little sugar is needed to get through the rest.

4. Your friends start to leave the library because they were actually productive today


On the other hand, you have two more exams to study for and have been taking Buzzfeed quizzes for the last hour.

5. It's 4:00am and yes, you're still at the library


You begin to question why you hadn't started studying two weeks ago, just like your professor said.

6. You take the exams and realize you somehow made it out of this week alive


You didn't know if it was possible, but another finals week is behind you. Congrats!

7. Now, you get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the summer!


Time to catch up on your sleep from the past week and soak in the sun. You did it!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
