Finals Week, As Told By The Cast Of "Friends"
David Crane and Marta Kauffman

Finals week is right around the corner for many universities. It's the last wave of final exams. This is a time where any onlooker would think the zombie apocalypse was in full swing due to the lackluster and glazed over look of the eye of students. It's the time where the ADHD kids start making lots money, if ya know what I mean...this is one of the worst weeks of the year, and not just because the campus coffee shop always runs out of espresso, but because it's finals week.

When thinking about finals week, I think the cast of "Friends" can sum up perfectly what it's all about.

1. It's three days before your huge exam and your friends (no pun intended) want nothing more than to distract you from your studies... that's what pals are for, right?

2. You decide to go to the library and quit lying to yourself that you can study while everyone is having a good ole time hanging out in your room.

3. You have that "are you ready for the final?" small talk convo with a classmate (even though you both know that neither of you are) and find out that the test is actually tomorrow instead of later.

4. *Cue first mental breakdown.*

5. After an exhausting 30 minute session of wailing, you try to come to terms with the fact that you just might not pass that class this semester.

6. You start weighing out your options of what life would be like if you just dropped out now before further emotional trauma ensues.

.....maybe you could just get a sugar daddy.

7. You start really thinking about it...

8. ...and realize you've been thinking about it for 45 minutes.

9. It's time to get down to business. If you study one term per minute you'll be done in...326 minutes...

10. It's 3 a.m. and you find yourself on Instagram...again.

11. You decide to go all in, pull an all-nighter and study until dawn...that usually works, right?

12. Your brain starts turning to mush and you don't know how much longer you can go on... nothing makes sense!

13. You look at your study guide and see there's only seven points that you missed!

14. As you fall asleep in Java City, the security guards come and kick you out, disturbing your "productive" study session, but secretly you're glad that now you have an excuse to go to bed...all nighters are overrated anyways.

15. It's the morning of the final and after a long, gruesome night of studying, you think you're finally ready.

16. You walk out of that classroom knowing that you made at LEAST an A.

17. You made a D.

18. After talking to your peers about how they did on the test, that one guy says "oh...I made a 100, that test was SO easy."

19. That's it. Your hardest final is out of the way and you're ready for the next one.

20. Repeat phases 1-18

21. You finally finish that last exam, the heavy weight of classes is GONE! It's time to celebrate!

HAPPY FINALS WEEK!!!!

Could you be anymore stressed?

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.
