An Open Letter To Finals

I just can't even.

An Open Letter To Finals

Finals, oh finals. We all know you come twice a year. You come with coffee, Adderall, stress, tears and a lot of booze. There is no love-hate relationship here, it's strictly hate.

Don't be offended, you knew this was coming. If I had a dollar for every time there was an Instagram post about how someone felt during finals, or where they would rather be than studying for finals, I would actually be a millionaire.

You drive me to drink. Not one glass of wine, but two bottles.

You bring out more tears in me than when McDreamy died in "Grey's Anatomy."

You make my mom think I have died at college because I won't return her phone calls.

You cause the lines at Starbucks to be endless when the world knows I will just die without my venti coffee.

You make boys think I own nothing but yoga pants and sweatshirts.

No matter how much effort I put into a final, I fail.

You make me go throughout my day looking, feeling and talking like a zombie.

You make be binge on a bag of chips and then starve myself the rest of the day.

At least you gave me the gift of Reading Day Eve. Where the bars are filled and the memories are as black as your soul.

Finals, I hate you. You're like the bad ex I keep going back to. I try to avoid you, but it's inevitable. I'll see you in the spring, pal.

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.
