10 Things I'd Rather Be Doing Than Studying For Finals

Anything is better, tbh.

It's that time of the semester. FINALS WEEK. Probably the toughest part of the semester because 1. the tests are cumulative, 2. your grades probably depend on them and 3. you are so close to being able to go home, you are SO done.

So here's to finals week and ten other things I'd rather be doing than studying for them.

1. Scrape gum off movie theater floors.

It can actually be quite therapeutic once you get going. . .that is if you don't think about what stranger's mouth it came out of.

2. Pulling hangnails.

You think you're doing okay, then BOOM. Here comes the blood. (searching for this one made me sick, tbh)

3. Fighting an alligator with a toothache.

I don't know if mama teaches this down in the swamp, but it sure sounds better than studying for Calc II.

4. Get a thousand paper cuts.

I want to cringe just thinking about it.

5. Be bitten by a squirrel.

There's a ton of them on campus, all you have do is grab one for it to take a quick nibble--IT HURTS (don't ask).

6. Do 10,000 situps.

Okay, maybe not that many, but I can manage a strong 5.

7. Streak across the field during a Dallas Cowboys game.

The stars and stripes ain't the only thing that are white.

8. Walk 10 miles barefoot in the snow.

My parents used to do it uphill, both ways into the wind just to get to school apparently.

9. Drink a gallon of rotten milk.

That's pretty rough, for this, you better get out of studying and taking the final both.

10. DIE

Just temporarily, like until summer.

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.
