9 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go To My Midterms

Unpopular opinion: midterms are worse than finals. Don't @ me.

It's midterms season. People are crammed inside libraries, weighed down by books, and dehydrated from crying. In my not-so-humble opinion, midterms are worse than finals. At least with finals you're done at the end, but with midterms there's only more studying. So instead of studying for my two exams, one paper, and two quizzes, I thought I'd make a list of things I'd rather do.

1. Go to the dentist.

Hmm...teeth scraping or paper writing? I'll take the lecture about flossing. Heck, I'll start flossing morning and night if it means I can avoid midterms.


2. Be adopted into the Trump family.

I don't care what your political opinions are (I mean, I do, but not for the point I'm making), we all know they're weird robots posing as humans.


3. Eat broccoli forever.

Broccoli is gross. That is all.


4. Get a flip phone.

I am a social media addict, and I embrace it. But I'd rather give up all social media and live in a world with no Twitter feed than deal with midterms.


5. Give up weekends.

Those two holy days at the end of each week, filled with lounging and snacking and laziness. Oh, how I love them. But I'd give them up in a hot second to avoid midterms.

6. Bite into an oatmeal raisin cookie, thinking it's chocolate chip.

Oh, the HORROR.


7. Have a permanent crick in my neck.

Not exactly painful, but just enough to be annoying. Honestly the worst kind of frustration.



8. Have gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

That awkward squelch every time you take a step....the irritation of having to work harder to pull one foot from the ground....I shudder to think about it. STILL better than midterms.


9. Declare my love of Duke.

Wait....wait nevermind, GO TO HELL, DOOK!

There's many things I'd rather do than struggle through the next two weeks until Spring Break. But supporting Dook? Never.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
