Isn't it a great time to be a college student?

12 Days of Finals

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.....

Just kidding. It is finals mode, and the amount of overload right now is unbelievable. The three weeks in between Thanksgiving and finals is a whole different world.

When your professor is still teaching and your final is in less than a week.


Seriously though, why are they teaching the most difficult material a week before finals and they are not going to review it. Instead, you will get a test on it two days before finals. HOW does that help at all?

When you are in complete denial that finals are coming up and you're still having fun.


You subconsciously know that finals are coming up but you decide to go out and have fun anyway. Because after all, they aren't THAT close, right?


And then it hits you like a truck that finals are amongst us.



You now acknowledge that you have to start studying, but no one really wants to.


Sleep deprivation begins to kick in after pulling all- nighter after all nighter.


You start sleeping in the library because of how much you are there. The desk starts to become more and more comfy as the days go on.

You start to stress eat.



All the time.

Your bed becomes littered in empty chip bags and goldfish crumbs.

When you've been studying for 10 minutes and think you deserve a break.


It is definitely good to step back from the chaos of studying to take a break. Even if it's only been ten minutes...


When your professor announces last minute that the final won't be cumulative.


This is a blessing in disguise. Knowing that you don't have to dig your notes out from the first week of school makes the stress disappear- just a little.

When you are trying to figure out why any of the stuff you're studying matters.

You may be asking yourself why you have to find the surface area of a rotating can, but be assured that it has a purpose. At least, I think.

And then you realize this:


When you are studying with your friends, and the 2AM delusions begin.


Walking into your first exam:

Expectation:

Reality:

During the exam:

After the exam:


When you finish all of your exams:

Finals can definitely be stressful. But remember to just breathe and that this is not the end of you. You can make it through! You are destined for great things if you are willing to put the effort in. Good luck to 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.
