Random Thoughts You Have While Studying for Finals

I know you went to the library for 12 hours straight or pulled two all-nighters in a row, but how much of that time were you actually studying? I know I'm guilty of doing anything and everything to put it off, even if it involves things like cleaning my room for the third time that week.

Here's a list of the thoughts we've most likely all had while cramming for that last final:

  • I wonder how well I have to do on this final to pass the class?
  • Yep, I should calculate my GPA...
  • I think I need Starbucks again.
  • Should I go to the gym?
  • Wow, I haven't been to the gym all semester.
  • I should go on a diet.
  • Mmmm, I can't wait to get home and have my mom cook for me.
  • Christmas is my favorite time of the year.
  • Dang, I need to Christmas shop!
  • I'll just browse Anthropologie's website for a little bit.
  • *45 minutes later* My cart has 10 items in it but I'm broke...
  • Would it be weird if I made all my gifts this year?
  • Let me look on Pinterest. They have cute DIY crafts.
  • I can totally make a wreath like that for my mom.
  • Ok, gotta focus.
  • Wow, that guy is a babe.
  • Should I go talk to him?
  • Oh wait, does he have a girlfriend?
  • I'll sneak a picture of him and send it to my roommates to ask.
  • **Flash goes off**
  • Did he see?! Oh gosh, I'm mortified.
  • I have to tweet about it.
  • "Omg don't y'all just HATE when your flash goes off while taking a creeper pic?! Wow SooOoO embarrassed. My life is basically over."
  • Five favorites already. That was a good one.
  • Ok, I've read three pages. I deserve a break.
  • Will anyone judge me if I watch Netflix in this cubicle?
  • I'm going to download new music. It'll help me study better.
  • How good does pumpkin bread sound right now?
  • I wonder if Sarah would bring me some...
  • Maybe I'll go home and bake some for a quick break.
  • Dang that means I have to go to the store.
  • Well I need groceries anyways.
  • I should make a list... 
  • Ok no, I'm just going to order Jimmy John's.
  • Is it embarrassing I have an account and they know my name?
  • I should take a break until he gets here. It'll only be like five minutes.
  • FaCebOoK TiMe!
  • Ugh why is everyone getting engaged?
  • OMG I can't believe he didn't tell me he was proposing!!!
  • Wait, they've only been dating for six months?!
  • Do you think I'll be a bridesmaid?
  • **Googles how many bridesmaids a girl has on average**
  • Oh, duh I'll be one.
  • I should call her to say congrats.
  • Now I should start looking at venues for her. I'm such a good friend.
  • JiMmY JoHnS is here!
  • Is this heaven? Possibly.
  • I'm going to snap an ugly picture of me with my sandwich to all my friends.
  • Crap it's been three hours already?!
  • I need caffeine. 
  • I'll get Starbucks again. And a cake-pop because I deserve it.
  • Ooo I should insta this to look artsy.
  • **Spends 20 minutes arranging items on desk**
  • Eh, never mind, it doesn't look good.
  • Is that Michelle from my class?
  • I should go ask her how her studying is going. It's the right thing to do.
  • "I've read all the chapters, created my own reviews and gone to tutoring." – Michelle 
  • "Same here!!! It'll be so easy!" – Me
  • Omg I can't believe she's done all that. I'm seriously going to fail.
  • I need to change locations.
  • Actually I'm just going to go home.
  • I can always wake up at 5 a.m. to study, right?
Is it just me, or is that always how it ends and then you never actually wake up early? Well, I'm glad finals are over and Christmas break is here! Shoutout to all the fellow procrastinators out there! And remember, there's always next semester to get that 4.0.

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.
