Real Accounts of Craziness During Finals Week
http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/

Finals week is an odd time. On top of the stress from school, sometimes life happens and adds even more stress to our plate. In order to avoid my own studying, I went around this weekend and spoke with students who have had some unfortunate events occur during finals week. Below is a comprehensive list. Hopefully none of these happen to you this week!

1. Ate a whole pound of cookie dough

.

2. Lost or gained 10 pounds in a week.

3. Cried at random moments. *weeps during exam*

4. Procrastination cooked and cleaned.

5. Stress online shopped.

6. Spent more time figuring out the lowest grade you can get than actually studying...we've all done it.

7. Ran face first into a door which resulted in a near concussion.

8. Went on three Tinder dates instead of studying.

9. Fainted and fell straight on face which resulted in a busted lip and swollen nose.

10. Went out to celebrate end of semester, ended up falling in own puke and having to be fire-man carried inside...

11. "Started a land war in Asia in my summer uniform and went up against a Sicilian when death was on the line" = Became delirious

12. Went to bed at 7pm and woke up at 8pm thinking it was 8am. Proceeded to quickly get dressed, cry, and run around looking for notes until roommate intervened. God bless that roommate.


And finally, the oddest of all

13. A beaver came into a garage through a doggy door. The student was startled and ran inside to tell the roommate. When they came back out, the beaver was gone! They called the Game and Fish Department who eventually found the sneaky beaver. It didn't give a "dam".


May the odds be ever in your favor this week and avoid those beavers!

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.
