Finals Week (As Told By 'The O.C.')

"Summer break, summer break--here we come."

Finals Week (As Told By 'The O.C.')

Finals week is here, and no one's reaction is more fitting than that of Seth Cohen:

But in all seriousness, "The O.C." gave us a lot of moments that are comical and relatable, especially for college students. So read on to see if how you deal with finals week matches up to one of the 'Core Four.'


When you realize that all of your finals are on one day:

Wait, what? No--why!


When you don't understand anything on the study guide:


I don't know = the answer for everything.


When teachers say that all these exams are helping you prep for your senior year:

Puh-leeze. Give me a break.


When your exam isn't open note:

Oh come on now. That's just not fair.


Dealing with the fact that you have a gym final:

When it doubt, dance it out.


When your parents call to ask if you're hanging in there:

Yes Mom, I promise I'm fine.


Stealing food from the dining hall because you've wasted all your cash on RedBull and Starbucks:

I know, life is hard. But hey, who doesn't love free food?


When you party hard instead of study hard:

Shots over thoughts any day of the week. #DrinkUp


Acting confident before you go in to take your exam:

Time to put on the war face.


But here's what your face looks like when you get it back:

Boo...


When you're having a mental breakdown:

Sometimes you just have to let it all out.

And then promptly questioning your sanity afterwards:

Why did I go to college? Is it too late to drop out?


When you hate everything and everyone:

Finals Week is hell, people. (No other explanation necessary.)


Making it up as you go along:

Classic.


When Mother Nature decides to make it storm on the day you have an 8 a.m. exam:

Nope nope. I can't even. No thank you. This sucks. Like, so bad.


When classmates say: "Oh that test wasn't hard":

OMG, I hate you. Please shut up, no one cares.


Defending your C+ on that insane calc exam to anyone who will listen:

Hey, I'm average (and proud of it!)


When you can't remember any part of the speech you memorized:

Names and fun facts are great presentation starters--right?


When you're done with everything and are back at home:

Sweet, sweet freedom.


Last but not least, finding out a few days later that you aced all of your finals:

Yes. I Win.

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.
