Finals Week: Good Luck

Just when you thought it was all going good

Finals Week: Good Luck
HuffPost

The end of the semester we all know the coming weeks are going to seem less stressful than they really are. The holidays coming up, things wrapping up, and then BAM you have 492636294 assignments due in 3 days. The end of the semester is just a heart attack waiting to happen.

When you hit college, the levels of work change. You have some assignments due over the semester, but most of the time it's a liability thing. You have to decide to do the work, because really most classes come down to just test scores.

College can seem like a breeze, and then once you know it, that breeze stops you in your tracks and flips you upside down. Here we are, a couple weeks before the end of the semester, thanksgiving next week, and you feel good. You feel like "dang this semester was easy!"

You just wait my friend, you'll get back from break and it's like the professors sabotaged you. Assignments you've never seen nor heard of pop up out of nowhere, papers become due, everything you thought you had done disappears. Those assignments you thought were due at the end of the semester are actually due before finals, next week. That easy class you have that you have ignored these past couple of weeks, yeah, that class is based on 50% of the final test grade, LOL good luck.

College has a way of nibbling at you, slowly creeping up, and then it bites you. It's rips you apart and takes your life away. Granted it's only for a week or so, but man does it suck. Finals week is like no other, people don't talk in the hallways anymore, they don't look up from their books, and they definitely don't want you to get their coffee wrong. So here you go, buckle yourself in, and get ready for an emotional, work-filled roller coaster!

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.
