Do you think if I said "avada kedavra" to my final exam it would go away?

The End Of The Semester As Told By Harry Potter
Wired

You want your GPA to be above gas prices. You want to take a nap. You want to cry. You want to make that C in chem an A. You want a large, stuffed pizza all to yourself. You’ve worked hard. You deserve a break. Your professors don’t think so, but you do. Alas, you’ve been assigned thirty-eight papers due in two weeks and have midterms (which may as well just be called “weekly exams”) every day for the next eighteen days. It is frustrating. It is tiring. It is the home stretch. Let's ride, boys.

1. Just when you think “t God, no more new stuff to learn” your professor hits you with a new lesson that will, in fact, be on the final exam.

2. When all you want is to take a nap.

3. When you think you know everything that’s going to be on the final but then get the study guide and realize that is not the case.

4. When dropping out suddenly seems like an option.

5. When you want to go home but don’t think you can handle a whole three months with your siblings.

6. When you realize you have to move out of your dorm and stop living with your new best friends :’(


7. When you realize you only have four weeks to try and save your GPA.


8. And when you try you realize you just cannot do it.

9. When you see snapchats and instagrams of your friends who are already on summer vacation.

10. When you suddenly finding yourself eating anything and everything in sight even though you SWORE you were going to work on your #beachbod

11. When you look at the social events going on and try to go to all of them because pretty soon you’re going to have to wait a whole summer to that frat but then you realize ain’t nobody got time fo dat.

12. When all-nighters and, consequently, coffee, become your new best friends.


13. When you start packing your things and all you have left is something you’d never be caught dead in.

14. When you desperately look for that extra credit15. And then realize there is none.

15. When you get to the final and look at the first question and swear that you've never heard of anything like this.

16. When finals are over and you’ve got mixed feelings about another year of college being over.

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.
