Finals are here! That means you are probably sick of studying and you have consumed way too much caffeine in the last few weeks. You are constantly being torn between "I need to this study guide" and "whatever happens is going to happen." If you find yourself in the latter category, then this article is for you! Keep reading to get all the motivation you need if you are doubting yourself.

1. Your discipline dictates your success.


It's not always easy to make yourself study. Unfortunately, binge watching shows on Netflix is not going to help you pass your finals. Do keep putting it off. Sit down at your desk and just start. You have to be disciplined enough to do that. If you let everything slide you are not going to learn anything new.

2. You can't expect to succeed if you only put in work in the days you feel like it .

If you want to crush your finals you are going to have to put in the effort. That means you can't just study the night before and on the way to your class the next morning. There are plenty of effective ways to study the material for your courses. Find the right one for you and create a study plan that will leave you feeling prepared for your exams.

3. "Everything is hard before it is easy." -J.W. Goethe

If only things were always easy right away! Just remember that studying certain concepts for your classes may give you a headache, but take the time to learn them and then it will be easier to understand the more you acquire knowledge about the subject.

4. "The most effective way to do it is to do it." -Amelia Earhart

I think we are all guilty of trying to find ways to get our studying over with sooner. Maybe you skip a concept you convinced yourself you know enough about? Don't cut corners. You aren't helping yourself.

5. Everything is 'figureoutable.'

Just remember that you are smart enough to figure out whatever problem is sitting in front of you. Walk away for a second. Get a glass of water. Take a few breaths. Come back to your problem with a clear head.

6. You can only get better through action.

Unfortunately, we don't just wake up in the morning and magically know everything we need to for our finals. It would be amazing if life worked like that, but it doesn't. Instead you have to put in the effort to get better at something.

7. Stop doubting yourself. Work hard, and make it happen.

This affirmation may just sum up this entire article. It is precise and to the point. If you need a mantra to get you through your finals. . . this is it!

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.
