Final season is upon us.

The grades we get on these papers or exams can make or break our grades. This is our final attempt at saving our grades. There is a lot of pressure to do well, because we want to be sucessful. Here is a list of stages everyone goes through when studying for finals.

1. Motivation


You tell yourself that you can do this. All your hard work for this semester is finally coming to an end. You have all your notes, books, and tests that will help you do well.

2. Procrastination


Netflix, social media, and friends all get in the way of your studying. You can't focus. And instead of writing your term paper you're watching Shameless.

3. The Giving Up Stage

Your "breaks" have added up, and you realize you haven't been doing as much work as you would have wanted to.

4. The Freak Out Stage

You tell yourself to stop binge-watching shows and playing stupid games on your phone. It's time to study and focus. You flip open your notebooks and realize you can't even understand your notes, the PowerPoints your professor posted are unhelpful, and you realize you've zoned out during your lectures.

5. The Cramming Stage

24 hours before your first exam. You drink more caffeine in these 24 hours than you have in your entire lifetime. 5-Hour Energy becomes your one and only friend. Whenever you start to fall asleep, you slap yourself in an attempt to wake yourself up.

6. Acceptance


You realize that it's now time to take your exams and that no amount of last minute studying can help you. In a few years, you won't even remember what grade you got on this test.

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.
