Give yourself a laugh during midterms for your own sanity.

1. Sunday scaries

You know the feeling. It's Sunday night before the exam week begins, and of course there is no chance in getting a full hour of sleep. There's people being way too loud in the hallway, and you stayed up way too late trying to force yourself to crack open a textbook. But that's okay! Monday will probably be a little rough in the morning, but maybe it won't be so bad.

2. Monday 

You were wrong. Monday, like every other Monday, did not run smoothly and the lack of sleep is hitting you hard. How is the rest of this week going to go? It's a scary thought, and it's time to at least try to pull it together if you want to survive this week.

3. Tuesday

The scramble to get it together might not be working out the way you planned by Tuesday. Hope may be temporarily lost. But a cup of coffee and a dream can get you through a couple more days if you really try.

4. Wednesday

Wednesday means that the end of midterms is so close, yet so, so, far away. If you have any more exams to take, it feels like there are only a couple thousand more blue books to fill out. The walls are closing in, but it's fine, everything's fine.

5. Thursday

There is a special place in Heaven for professors who make the exam a take-home paper. But of course, in the rush of studying, these papers get put off and ranked lower and lower on the priority list, until it is the very last minute. Like the 11:59 pm submission for the paper due at midnight. But Ron Swanson has a couple tricks to meet the word limit on that paper before the deadline!

6. Friday

It's finally the end! Friday is always a reason to celebrate, but if you still have exams left to take by Friday...it might bring on Chris Traeger's perfect storm of emotions.

7. Saturday

Take heed of the wise words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle and TREAT YO' SELF on Saturday. It's been too many long days and late nights of testing, so treat yo' self on midterm break and relax.

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.
