The after-Thanksgiving slump is upon us and the fear of finals is officially settling in. Every single person on campus is up to their eyeballs in unfinished assignments and half-studied-for tests. The next two weeks look grim and the only saving grace is the six weeks of solitude and homecooked meals that are right around the corner.

Each of us is counting down til their last day of the semester and we all know it. If the never-dying aura of panic on campus wasn't enough to tell you the semester is almost over, here are 14 more signs we're almost done.

1. Your Internal Monologue is All Screaming and Crying

You can't even think normal thoughts anymore.

2. You Really Want Your Mom

You may have just seen her last weekend and there's nothing she can actually do to help, but you know she'll make things better anyway.

3. The Only Numbers You Can Remember Are the Grades You Need On Your Exams

Let's be honest. We're beyond the point of desperation. We just need to pass the class.

4. You'd Kill a Man for a Good Snack

At this point your bank account is in as much trouble as your GPA, you already ate everything you came back from Thanksgiving with and you're actually starving.

5. You Keep Scrolling Insta to See Your Friends from Home

You absolutely can't wait for all the crazy shenanigans that will unfold the second everyone's back together.

6. You're Worried About the Sheer Amount of Coffee You've Consumed

If you woke up tomorrow and you were literally a coffee bean, you wouldn't even be surprised.

7. You Keep Forgetting to Eat Meals

You've lost count of the days in a row you've eaten only one meal and it was after 8 pm.

8. You've Considered Moving into the Library

The mattress will fit under the table in the study room, right?

9. You've Written So Many Papers You're Certain Your Fingers Are 300 Words from Falling Off

You don't even know how much more you can type.

10. All You Can Think About is Your Mom's Cooking

It's already been way too long since your last good meal.

11. You Keep Crying for What Seems Like No Reason at All

You're so used to the feeling of stress that you don't notice it anymore, but it's still very obviously getting the best of you.

12. The Only Thing You Want Are Cuddles from Your Dog

He's the only one who truly understands you.

13. All You Want is a Good Nap

The sleep deprivation is real.

14. You'd Rather Do Literally Anything Than Another Second of Homework

But on the bright side you know it's almost over!

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.
