In This Article:

You know that time right around the middle of the semester that really makes you regret skipping all those classes to go get Chick-fil-A with your friends (okay nvm Chick-fil-A is bae) or showing up to class with your laptop just to spend an hour taking Buzzfeed quizzes. Yeah, you what I'm talking about. MIDTERM TIME! The time where the joy of spring is completely ruined by colleges everywhere. In honor of probably having to withdraw from most of my classes anyways, here are ten places I'd rather be than stuck in my dorm room with a mound of study guides.

1. In a bathtub full of Chic-Fil-A

Considering the long lines at Chic-fil-A are what made me 30 minutes late for class anyways, what better place to be than bathing in my misery with the love of my life.

2. Back in high school

Okay, maybe this is a stretch but honestly my high school only gave you an exam one time and that was at the end of the school year and you only had to take it if you had a 90 or below.

3. On a cruise ship heading anywhere besides Clemson University

Bahamas. Puerto Rico. Canada. Alaska. Mexico. Cruise me to Wal-Mart for all I care.

4. At a basketball game

Nobody knows this, but I taught Lebron all he knows.

5. In my bed binge watching Greys Anatomy

I don't want to move from my bed until I've finished watching every season of Greys Anatomy, which is never because the show never stops.

6. At the zoo

I literally rather be put in a cage with a hungry lion than study one more page of statistics

7. Running a marathon

If I'm dead I don't have to take the midterms. Logic.

8. Volunteering at an animal shelter

There is absolutely nothing in the world I want more than to be surrounded by a thousand puppies licking my worries away

9. Somewhere learning the square root of pi

It's math, so technically I'm still studying.

10. In a therapy session

Honestly, I'm probably going to need all the therapy I can get after I'm forced to drop out of college and become a mail man so why not get a head start.

I rather get my heart broken three times, thrown in a garbage can, forced to listen to Fergie at the Superbowl on repeat for the rest of my life, and become lactose intolerant than prepare for the most dreadful part of the semester for a college student.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
