Believe it or not, you're not the only one freaking out about exams.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been freaking out about final exams for the last week. All the research papers, studying, and tests hit me like a giant wave. Let's just say it resulted in me drinking way too much coffee and binge watching "The Office" on Netflix.

When I finally sat down to write my article this week, the only thing on my mind was finals. Then, I realized that there's no way I could be the only person struggling to keep up with all these assignments and trying their best not to procrastinate.

So, hopefully you can also relate to these gifs and the seemingly never ending stress of college.

Trying not to wait until the last minute

Procrastination is like the plague in college: It spreads quickly and sometimes it seems as if there is no way to cure it, but hang in there. Turn off Netflix, put your phone on silent, and open those books. The sooner you get things done, the sooner you can go back to doing nothing.

Staying up all night

I think we can all agree that 24 hours in a day is simply not enough, so that means we have to pretend we are nocturnal and stay up all night trying to write a single essay. That also means that the next day, we will drown ourselves in coffee, wear our sweatpants proudly to class, and take a long nap when school is over.

Crying

Admit it, at some point you've cried over your enormous workload. We've all been there and there's nothing wrong with letting tears out. College isn't all fun and games and eventually we all crack. Just remember that you'll get everything done and the anxiety won't last forever.

Eating more than you ever thought you could

Stress eating is very common and it is definitely one of the ways to cope with the mountain of homework that stands before you. Food is there to make you feel better, one Dorito at a time.

Contemplating dropping out of college

Okay, so this one might seem a little extreme. Come on though, don't try to tell me you haven't searched "high paying jobs to get without college degree" or "famous people who never went to college" on Google at least once.

Realizing you're not the only one who is struggling

Yes, this is exactly how I felt when I realized that everyone is having a hard time with final exams and the end of the semester. On the bright side, Christmas is less than a month away!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
