5 Reasons To Look Forward To Finals Week

In This Article:

Finals week is universally known to be one of the toughest weeks for college students. We spend the majority of our time locked up in our rooms studying like crazy and don't have much time to hang out with our friends, watch TV, or even have the slightest bit of downtime for that matter. However, there are a few things that finals week brings that aren't THAT terrible. I mean okay, it's still a little bit terrible. But I'm trying to look at the bright side and see the light at the end of the tunnel!

1. Warmer weather

By the time finals roll around, it should finally be shorts weather! You might be studying all day, but at least you can do so without freezing.

2. You get a little bit of leeway

People usually give you a break on almost everything during finals week. You aren't expected to do any chores, run any errands, or quite frankly do anything. Your only job is to study as hard as you can, otherwise you're free from responsibility!

3. You don't have to look presentable

Finals week = sweatshirt and messy bun all the way. No one cares what you look like, because its a unanimous agreement among your class that no one is going to judge.

4. You form a bond with your classmates

After studying for hours together, you're bound to make a few new friends! Who knows, your Bio study buddy could be your new best friend for life.

5. The end is near

So maybe this week is really tough, but just think, you're one week away from an entire three months off! It's literally the light at the end of the tunnel, so just hang in there!

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.
