THE WEEKEND BEFORE:

You struggle between wanting to have fun on the last weekend of the semester and knowing that you should really be spending it in the library.


When people are around, you pretend to be productive.


But, ultimately, you decide to:


Until Sunday comes and you remember that you're taking 17 credit hours, have 5 cumulative finals and haven't started your research paper.


So you run to the library, where you will spend the next week of your life.


WHILE STUDYING:

You start out motivated and ready to study all day


And you actually learn a few things.


But, then you slowly start to lose your motivation.



And your professor won't respond to any of your emails.


And you hear a freshman complain about their finals.


So instead of studying, you start thinking of ways you can get out of taking your finals.


And after spending 8 hours in the library, you finally give up.


DAY OF FINALS:

Your alarm goes off


And you wish you would have prepared more for this day.


But you show up to your final anyway, as ready as you'll ever be.


You're given your final but everything looks like a foreign language.


But then, you totally know the answer to #27.


And you get to the essay question and have no clue what you're saying.


Then you remember you have four more finals to take.


But, eventually, you turn in the last final and you don't even care anymore because the semester is officially over.


POST-FINAL:

You look terrible


And feel terrible.


And you have to wait a week until your final grades are posted.


All you want to do is go to bed

But in the meantime,


SEE YOU NEXT SEMESTER!

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.
