Why Studying With Your Best Friend Will Get You The A

If your upcoming exam is comprised of 10 chapters that were 25 pages long, then an easy review session the night before is not the way to go. It is super easy to get distracted on your own, making the information difficult stick in your brain properly. Scheduled breaks keep getting longer and longer, and sometimes you just want to talk it out with someone who gets the material -- not your dog.

This is why having a friend in your classes to study with creates the best results. Not only do you have different notes, making it easier to gather all the information needed for the exam, but you can also split up making the study guide. And the best part is not having to worry about not making any sense when trying to grasp a concept. You can make hysterical analogies that will be ingrained in your head forever, because you and your best friend laughed for hours when you came up with them. It's the moments like those that are what helps ignite your memory during an examination.

In continuum, the study breaks are 20 times more fun with friends, and always involve food. Loading up on candy and other sugary substances to keep you awake all night is the best part. The material you are studying is always more interesting and fun to learn when you have someone like your best friend to learn it with you. When the night is getting late (or shall I say, when the morning is beginning), the delirium creates even more jokes, but you have your best friend to push you to stay awake and chisel as much information into your head as possible. You don't want each other to fail, and that is the best part -- you won't let each other.

You have so much more motivation when studying with your best friend because it feels like you are taking on this exam -- basically, the apocalypse -- together. This collectivity leads to the best results: an A.

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.
