Finals Week, As Told By 'Friends'

Good news: winter break is close, but that means finals week is a lot closer. You might even currently be suffering through finals week as you read this. If that is the case I would like to express to you how sorry I am. I would also like to tell you that soon enough you will be able to sit on your couch, watch Elf a million times over or binge watch Friends all while eating immeasurable amounts of Christmas cookies. You're almost there. But before you can spend your time relaxin' you have to prepare for the most dreaded week of every college student's life. This is the week where you question every decision you have ever made like, "Why did I take that 2-hour nap four weeks ago?" "Why didn't I spend an extra hour teaching myself chem in the library a month ago?" and "I should not have showered last Sunday, I could have been STUDYING." You might even consider dropping out 1 or twelve times a day. Most of the time emotions are running wild during this time so here is finals week as told by your favorite characters from Friends to help you put it all your crazy thoughts into words...

Okay so first off, what's with those people who don't seem to be too panicked about finals? WE KNOW YOU'RE FREAKIN' OUT TOO.

How about when your professor decides to introduce a brand new topic in your second to last class before finals?

When you're trying to remember what your professor was talking about in past biology lectures but all that comes to mind is:

When you're in the ZONE and someone calls, texts, talks or just completely interrupts the mojo you've got goin' on.

It's not finals week if you haven't considered dropping out at least once while studying.

You know you've been in the library for too long when..

What about when those thoughts of life after finals week start to creep in.

When your professor leads a review session and the only thoughts going through your head are:

Your friends all ask you to go out and your answer is very clear.

After spending a rough seven hours studying in the library and you remember you forgot to edit your last paper for psychology.


When you have all 600 note cards memorized for your chemistry exam, you walk in to take it and you realize:

Finally, you've taken your last exam, you can go home to home cooked meals, quality time with family and friends and best of all you can SLEEP!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
