10 Stages Of Studying For Finals

It's that time of the year, ladies and gents. We're pulling all nighters for last minute cram sessions, eating the greasiest comfort foods that are available to us, and nearly on the verge of pulling out our hair. This is the one week that makes us all cringe as we slump a little further down into our seats on the "quiet floor" of the library. Here are the stages I'm positive many of us go through when studying for finals:

1. Thinking you have so much time to get everything done and memorized.

So, we put it off forget about it.

2. But, two days before the exam, realizing you should probably start studying because that final on Tuesday is cumulative.

3. Emailing your professor because you're in panic mode, and honestly, nothing makes sense anymore.

4. Reading your textbook or notes for an hour and realizing none of it is sticking in your brain.

5. Accepting defeat and reverting to food to make it all better.

6. Finding a way to gather yourself and attempting to approach the books again.

7. Going on that seventh hour in the library...

8. Ready to go to war with whomever tries to disturb you.

9. Doing last minute calculations on what you need on the final exam to get a certain grade in the class.

10. Calling it quits and hoping for the best.

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.
