It's that crazy time of the (school) year. Everyone has made lasting fun memories during the spring break and have returned back to the campuses fully tanned and not well-rested. Unfortunately, the happy bubble of vacations and sleeping until noon is popped by the next few weeks that will eventually end in finals.

So, with the help of some Parks and Recs gifs, here are the 8 stages of prepping for Finals Week

1. Relaxation based on delusions.

It's easy to tell yourself you still have five more weeks until you actually have to start worrying about exams but before you know it, those weeks can quickly turn into four, then three until the next thing you know it's a week away from Finals and you have gotten nothing done. But don't fret, everyone's been there which means you can easily rely on friends to help with last minute cramming.

2. Having no motivation to study.

Unfortunately, people don't seem to understand that you can physically be unable to have motivation to study and so they just say you're being lazy. It's a real thing people!

3. Going to tutoring...

4. ...Even though you know you don't process anything.

5. Failing at group studying because someone is always goofing off.

Sometimes you're Chris and sometimes you're Andy. Whichever one you are, don't forget that it is possible to have fun in group study sessions, as long as you remember to keep each other focused and on task.

6. Having a panic attack during the exam...

7. ...Then just not caring after the exam.

At this point, stress is a waste of energy and time. Once the test is turned in, that's it. Worrying won't change your answers so don't even bother.

8. Living life afterwards.

However your exams go this final season, just remember a paper test does not define you as a person. College (and just school in general) is really freaking hard, and you should be proud you've made it this far. So keep doing you and just remember that your hard work will pay off with a fun future!

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.
