11 Things You're Doing Instead Of Studying For Finals

Yes, it is that time of the semester again; it is finals week. As much as you would love to say you've been non-stop studying, here are 11 things I know you have been doing instead of hitting those books.

1. Calculating the grade you can get in that class to pass instead of studying.

Let's just say RogerHub finals calculator is your best friend during finals week.

2. Going on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and repeating it all over again.

Absolutely nothing is new on your feed after checking each about 20 times, but why not one more time?

3. Eating way too much junk food.

Why worry about finals when you can just stress eat instead?

4. Cleaning your room—or anything—for the sake of something else to do.

Does your room really have to be cleaned right now? Probably not, but cleaning sure sounds a whole lot better than studying for *fill in the blank*.

5. Netflix binging.

Whether it is a regular night during the week or finals week, Netflix is still the No. 1 reason you are procrastinating.

6. Online shopping.

Do you actually need anything? Probably not. But I would definitely rather spend $50 if it saves me from studying for one more minute.

7. Thinking about your summer plans.

Might as well think about the fun you're going to have instead of all the fun you aren't having studying for hours in the library.

8. Emailing your teachers for extra credit.

Dear Professor,

I messed up, please help.

Sincerely,

Every Distressed Student

9. Hitting the gym for the first time in, well, a long time.

You haven't been to the gym in a while because you are "too busy", but suddenly during finals week you can go for 2 hours. Oops.

10. Finding random videos.

You log onto Facebook and suddenly you are watching prank videos, videos on how to make a s'mores cupcake, and videos of puppies running up and down a staircase.

11. Debating dropping out of your major.

We've all done this a little more than we care to admit.

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.
