We're almost done.

Finals Week As Told By "Parks and Rec"

Unfortunately, it's that dreaded time of year again. That's right, finals week is here again and it's time to get down to business.

So you buckle down and start to get yourself psyched up for the upcoming week of hell.

\

You know it sucks, but if you want that steady job after graduation you need to get with it

Prioritizing is something that you *pretend* you've become good at.

But in reality, you're just sitting there staring at your flash cards like

When you want to go to the library but everyone and their dog is there because, well, it's finals

Trying to make yourself focus like

Finishing your final paper only to realize you're 50 words short of what you needed

Halfway through the week you begin contemplating how bad it could really be if you dropped out to pursue *ahem* exotic dancing.

With finals week comes tears. Prepare the floodgates.

Knowing you can't properly prep for a long night of studying without the right snacks.


And if it wasn't already, coffee (and any other source of caffeine) has become vital to your existence.

When people ask how you're doing after your first all nighter:

You do *literally* anything to prevent actually studying, even though you know you probably shouldn't do that.

When you feel like you're actually prepared and that the questions aren't hard

"Are you ready for the exam?"

After you take your first final:

Luring yourself into a false sense of security and overconfidence over a final like:

But when you get to that final you sit there like:

When you don't know the first question on the exam:

When people chastise you for not starting your studying sooner.

Realizing that there are more important things than finals in life

Nearing the end of the week like

Leaving your last final knowing your week of hell is finally over


Good luck, y'all.

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.
