Finals Week, As Told By Sweeney Todd

"But the work waits!"

So in the Broadway scene right now there's a ton of hype around new musicals like "Dear Evan Hanson" and "Hamilton." However, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" has always been a personal Broadway favorite. If you've never heard Sweeney Todd's story (If not, why are you here?), Sweeney, a London resident in the 1800's, is wrongfully sent to prison in Australia by Judge Turpin (who has the hots for Sweeney's wife). However, Sweeney escapes and sets out on a plot for revenge which involves slitting the throats of innocent people and baking them into meat-pies with the help of Ms. Lovett. Despite his lust for blood, Sweeney Todd's angry and vengeful personality is one I most relate to during finals week. So let's begin!

1. Looking around at how full just about every library is on campus.

Ah, the smell of stress among us all is so nice!!!

2. Procrastinating on studying until the week of exams.

I'm not a freshman anymore. I can pull this off, I promise.

3. Accepting that this year's finals might be a bit of a lost cause.

Oh well, who needs school anyways?

4. Suddenly, the thought of living in your parent's basement forever seems a bit more reasonable.

I mean their basement is nice, lowkey.

5. When someone tries to bug you while you're busy as heck during the week.

Hey, I've finally stopped procrastinating. Don't kill my vibe, please.

6. Finally going into your first exam.

Let the games begin!

7. Looking at the first question of your hardest exam.

What did I just get myself into? Is this education even worth it?

8. When the professor of your hardest class harped on how "easy" the final would be.

I feel played.

9. Hardcore bs-ing some of the answers on said exam.

Aye, I've got this... I think? Just...never mind.

10. The sense of exhaustion and defeat you feel coming out of your last final.

At least they're done, and I'm kind-of-sort-of alive.

11. Looking at the grade of the final you "thought " went well.

Sweeney Todd GIF

Is this some kind of joke? Please let it be.

12. But even if finals don't go well, why even dwell on it?

Sweeney Todd GIF

I'm sure next semester will go better anyways.

13. And mandatory celebration after hell — I mean finals week — is over!

Sweeney Todd GIF

Drinks on me, boys!

14. Going back home and hearing your high school friends talk about how "hard" their finals were.

Don't even get me started. Please stop.

15. You'll be damned if you even think about school over break.

Bye school. I wont miss you for about the next month.

Nonetheless, good luck on finals this year! And remember, once the week is over, nobody's stopping you from watching Sweeney on repeat for the next month. I'm just saying. Try not to go to insane this week though, you don't want to turn into Sweeney.

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.
