15 Things All College Students Can Relate To During Midterms Week
Kathryn McSherry

1. The realization that midterms are in one week.

Oh heck no.

2. And that you haven’t done anything to prepare for them.


Whoops…again.

3. So you compensate for not studying by outlining the 4+ papers you still need to write.


One paper about that general education course you don’t care about, another on marketing, one that is worth 50% of your grade and…why does math require a paper?

4. Now that you have done .5% of the work that you need to do, you reward yourself with ice cream, cookies and chips.

Pat yourself on the back... but seriously, get to work.

5. You indulge your coffee addiction again during all the late nights and early mornings in the library.


Coffee, coffee and more coffee!

6. Wait, when was the last time you left the library?


Um...Great question.

7. And when was the last time you changed out of that sweatpants and sweatshirt?


They’re comfortable, okay?

8. Okay, I won’t judge. But would you stop procrastinating?

Jeez, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today.

9. That moment when it’s the Monday of exam week, and you realize that you should’ve studied harder for your first test.

Why is everyone finishing so quickly when I am still on question 4?

10. Or that moment when you know that you studied really well for this exam, and that you really have nothing to worry about.

You’re going to be fine. We’re doing great.

12. The happiness you feel when scrolling through your 20-page paper, and saying to yourself, “Yes, I did that!”

Look at you go!

13. The stress before the last and hardest test, which is on the last day before freedom.


So close!

14. And finally, the relief of spring break when it’s all over.


Treat yourself. You deserve it.

15. But then you get all of the test scores back afterwards…


Um, yeah, haha. No thank you.

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.
