Franciscan University's Thoughts On Finals Week
Medical Daily

Some days, you're up early, skipping to class with a coffee in your hand and smiling as if you just won the lottery. Other days, you just want to curl up in a ball and never wake up again, crying from the stress and panicking from the deadlines. For some reason, the latter tends to happen more frequently around this time of year. With finals season officially here and motivational levels at an all-time low, the Franciscan University community has compiled a list of what comes to mind upon hearing the dreaded words: finals week.

1. Coffee and no sleep

2. Praying while studying

Praying that the prof will go easy but studying my booty off anyway...

3. Pulling hair out

4. Lord of the Rings memes

For some reason, Lord of the Rings seems to relate to finals week very well. Maybe because it was written by a professor...

5. 12 days of finals

6. Christmas!

This beloved holiday is right around the corner, and the only thing standing in the middle of you and Christmas is a week of exams.

7. Chocolate

Using your meal plan points before they expire like...

8. Life is a mess

Pain is temporary. GPA is forever.

9. Sweatpants everyday

10. Needing motivation

I don't know about you, but Ryan Gosling could easily motivate me to ace my finals.

Don't think about what can happen in a month. Don't think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you, and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be. So go on and laminate your notes so the tears roll off easily, and drink that third cup of coffee. YOU GOT THIS.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
