I hate cumulative final exams in college. They are too long. They require me to study everything from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester. When all of your classes have a cumulative final exam, you have to study the material from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester. Your brain will go nuts. Your brain has forgotten everything from the start. Studying will take a very long time. You do not know which old material will appear on the exam. That's why you have to study everything from the beginning just in case if one of them appeared on the exam.

You wish that you studied the material earlier. However, you have a lot of homework to complete. You have to do house chores and your job or internship. You do not have time to study. You also have to study for your other classes, too. Can you make it? Can you remember everything? You wish that the final exam is not cumulative. You are only happy when your professor says that the final exam is not cumulative or there is no final exam for the class. Also, you are aware that you will forget everything that you studied after time passes. Are cumulative final exams worth doing?

Cumulative final exams are one of the main reasons why grades go down. You find out that there is one material that you forgot. You get something wrong on the final exam and you do not know what you got wrong. You believe that you would have done better if the test is not cumulative and if you do not have to study for your other classes' exams. One thing for sure, cumulative final exams are one of the downs of college life.

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.
