The most stressful week of the year has finally arrived. If you're anything like me, you're currently taking a well-deserved study break to scroll through your Facebook feed. Three months of studying all leads up to this fateful week, and Lord knows we could use a breather from the mind-blowing amount of information we've been cramming into our brains. No worries, Kevin McCallister knows your pain.

It's finals week, so basically everyone on campus is doing this, including you.

Your bad grades just seem to creep up out of nowhere.

And you don't know how you're going to survive the upcoming exam...

...until your professor reminds you that it isn't cumulative.

Late night cram sessions and lack of sleep hit you hard...

...and when your friend suggests another coffee or food run, you are so braindead it takes a bit to process what they just said.

And then there's that one friend who had the most amazing finals schedule, they can't help but rub it in your face when they leave 4 days before you.

When the time has arrived for your first exam, start to freak out a little bit...

...until you remember how hard you studied, and you realize "I got this".

And when you see your friend after the exam, you can't help but be all sentimental that your time together is over and you both survived that crummy class.

Near the end, you're so mentally drained, you have basically just given up on showing emotion altogether.


And you're just so grateful you no longer have to spend any time doing homework on WileyPlus, Connect, or OWL.

Miraculously, you've made it to the day of your last exam okay.


And when you walk out of that last exam, you give your professor a final look...

...knowing that a wonderful winter break full of endless Netflix binging awaits.

Ahh, sweet freedom.

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.
