College Students Thoughts While Studying For Finals

Finals Week by "Friends" and "Greys Anatomy"

Finals can be a very stressful and overwhelming time. As I head into my second experience of college finals, I thought it would be amusing to record the thoughts that are going through my head as this terrible time approaches. Here's to pulling all-nighters, drinking way too much coffee, studying for hours upon hours, wanting to pull your hair out and question the reason you went to college in the first place, the mental breakdowns, and the sleep deprivation that are coming soon. So, here's finals week told by two of my favorite shows, "Friends" and "Greys Anatomy".

1. The beginning of the end. Your professor is going over everything that you have learned this semester because it will ALL be on the final exam and you are low-key freaking out inside and want to just tell them to stop talking because you did not understand one word they just said.

2. When you are with your friends the Sunday before finals and you look at them and ask them how they are planning on preparing for tests and you all just sit around trying not to cry like...

3. Checking the current grade that you have in the class and calculating the exact percentage that you that you need on the final in order to pass the class and try to convince yourself that it's possible.

4. After studying and doing homework for 9 hours straight and you finally sit down on the floor of your room and can't decide what to do with yourself...

5. When all you can think about is exams and they ruin your mood, the energy, and even the most important meal of the day.

6. When you just decide to accept the failure and take the L but you still wanna be a good friend so you try to stay supportive to those who have more willpower than you.

7. Trying to do a quick recap on the major lessons learned in History this semester and realizing that you remember no specifics and all that comes to mind is...

8. Getting through one final, having 5 mins of relief and then moving on to worry about your next 8...

9. Pulling that final all-nighter of the semester and your friends are ready to sleep but you are in the zone and trying to spread the motivation.

10. Walking out of your last final like...


Don't stress too much. Time manage, figure out the best study method for you, do the best that you can, and remember that summer is right around the corner. You got this fam, I believe in you :)

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.
