SCORE MY LIFE: 12 Songs That Will Inevitably Define Your Finals Period
Elle Eccles

As you ghost through the halls of Fondren and build yourself a small hut of snacks and notebooks in a study room this finals period, diffuse some of that exam tension with some fun songs that will commiserate with you. And remember, summer is just beyond that 10-page paper!

1. Bad Things with Jamaicans – Charley Marley

For when you really should be studying. It's been ages since you slept outside of Fondren. Your world is blurring into a psychedelic jumble of notes.


2. Perfect Tense – Fallulah

For when you go out with your friends to procrastinate studying. Might not be too bad if you just end up winging it, right? You'll be fine. It will all soon be buried in your past...


3. Beware the Dog – The Griswolds

For when you’re surrounded by textbooks and power points, remembering the short, happy life of Syllabus Week. Where did the time go?


4. Smaller – Erik Hassle

For when you feel like finals are actually decimating your ability to function. Has anyone investigated a possible connection between final exams stress and brain cell death?


5. Carry Your Throne – Jon Bellion

For when, like a rallying cry for the broken, a study break comes along to pull you out of the muck and take up your side in the fight for your sanity.


6. Rivers – Thomas Jack

For when you just need to dance a jig and forget it all. Maybe you need a friend or two to dance with you.


7. Wake Up – Aaradhna

For when you — OK, seriously now — really need to get up and do some studying.


8. Rock Bottom – Hailee Steinfeld

What even is your relationship with your major anyway?


9. NoLo – Grace Mitchell

For the night before the exam when you're pretty sure you've lost it, because you feel way too confident about this.


10. Beggin’ – Madcon

For that moment right before the exam when you’re just reeeeaaallly hoping to pass.


11. Bones – MS MR

For those moments of panic, when you’re sure they’ll find your bones scattered in Herzstein Amp after the exam.


12. How You Like Me Now? – The Heavy

And one more song for that moment when you’ve finished your last final and you’re free, free, free.

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.
