"I need caffeine. Whatever form you've got. I haven't had it all day. I'll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort it, whatever form it's in." — Lorelai Gilmore

Somehow the last week of classes come out of nowhere and hit you like a bus. All of those assignments you looked at and said "I still have time, I'll do it later" are all due tomorrow and you have no idea how you got to this position. But what better way to alleviate stress (or increase it through procrastination) than to spend time watching "Gilmore Girls" and learning life lessons from them? You'll probably learn more from those three kick-butt women than your schoolwork, anyway, right?

1. You realize that the last week of the semester came and you have no idea how you got here.

"Hold on. I'm looking up 'aneurysm' in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one" — Emily Gilmore

2. Upon realizing the first point, you decide you need to get your life together and make a to-do list for everything you have left to do.

"A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl." — Rory Gilmore

3. On top of all of your assignments, you're having to bake things for all of your class "end of the semester" parties.

"And if eating cake is wrong, I don't want to be right." — Lorelai Gilmore

4. You and your friends are complaining back and forth, supporting each other in your fictitious plans to quit school and marry some prince.

Rory: "If all else fails, you can marry rich."

Lorelai: "I love that we always have that option."

5. You start to consider drinking margaritas to make your papers more interesting.

"The Long Island Ice Tea makes you do things you normally wouldn't do." — Lorelai

6. Your professors start telling you to make sure you sleep and you roll your eyes knowing that will never happen.

Giphy

"You have to sleep, it's what keeps you pretty." — Lorelai

7. Food and coffee become your only source of joy.

"Everything in my life has something to do with coffee. I believe in a former life I was coffee." — Lorelai

8. Your professor reminds the class about the paper due in two days that she swears she talked about last class, but you don't remember.

"I'm so exhausted with incompetent people, I don't know what to do anymore." — Emily

9. You and your gal pals start considering a weekend trip instead of studying.

"People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute." — Logan

10. You remember how lucky you are to have an education.

"I can't believe we get to sit around and talk about books and get graded." — Rory

11. You finally get serious about studying for your finals and finishing all of your assignments for the semester.

"Coffee please, and a shot of cynicism." — Lorelai

12. You look forward to finishing up, laying in your bed, and watching Netflix for the entirety of winter break.

"We're almost there & nowhere near it. All that matters is that we're going!" — Lorelai

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.
