Finals Week As Told by Parks and Recreation

It’s that point in the semester where finals week is approaching at lightning speed. Once Thanksgiving has come and gone, the pain of finals week likes to creep up on college students when they least expect it. Getting through finals week is a challenge, but the joy of officially being done with the semester is a great victory. In order to prepare yourself for the scariest week of the semester, I've decided to portray finals week with the help of the great residents of Pawnee, Indiana.

Not even thinking about studying till the week before.

Finally pushing yourself to get to the library and hit the books.

Getting a group of friends together to study so you don't have to go through it alone.

Ordering a triple shot of espresso to get you through the endless hours of studying.

Checking out your syllabi and realizing that some of your finals are cumulative.

Attempting to meet up with your group project members.


Treating yourself by ordering some late night cookies.


Hitting that point where you just can't study anymore.

Finally trying to get some sleep before your exams.


Walking out of a final knowing you killed it.


Going out and getting drunk 'cause you successfully survived finals week!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
