Finals Week As Told By "The Office"

Finals week is quickly approaching... and you're not totally mentally prepared for it. You dread this week of each semester because it's guaranteed to drive you crazy. This is the week you wonder why you're still in college and whether it is all really worth it at the end. You consider dropping out, but for some reason choose to struggle through. You try to make yourself forget that finals week is so close, but when you remember you're like:

And then you attempt to get all your class notes organized, so you can be fully prepared. You start to figure out what exactly you should study, but in reality you're like:

Then your friends tell you that it will be OK, and that if you study and prepare you will do fine. Inside you feel overwhelmingly emotional, and sit at the library until 2:00 a.m. like:

Until your mom calls you and tells you not to worry, and that you have done well in the past, and are sure to do well now too. Now you're like:

But you have that one friend that lives in the library during finals week and makes you feel guilty for not studying more. You avoid studying with them, but when they sit down next to you and brag about how prepared they are you're like:

And you sit there, trying to attempt to understand material you should have understood long ago. Nothing on the pages make sense, and you again wonder why you are still in college. You begin to feel that familiar feeling of hopelessness:

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.

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.
