Studying For Finals According To Rory Gilmore

It was the night before finals, professors were asleep, students were studying, and the library made a peep. I was sitting in the library, worn out and tired, when a thought struck me, oh but I was wired. Oh how I dreamed of Netflix, my bed, and food, but this psychology test really killed my mood. Rory Gilmore was right, in her practical not at all crazy ways, she understood the stress, and staying up all night. Finals week is upon us; off to the library we go, get out your coffee (pots), because sleep is a no-go.

Hope you Odyssey readers enjoyed my little poem, I really enjoyed writing it. Rory Gilmore, aka top of her class at both Chilton and Yale, understands the stress us college students go through during finals week.

When you set your priorities ahead of time:

Caring more about your studies than your appearance:


When you're just done studying:


What you look like when you walk into the dining hall after hours of studying in your room:


When making plans to go out:


When you're in the library with all the books laid out in front of you:


And trying to absorb all the knowledge from said textbooks:


When you haven't eaten in two days:

Your friends when they describe you in six words:


Looking at your schedule like:


When you reevaluate your decision to come to college like:


When someone takes your spot in the library:


When you walk out of your last final like:


Rory Gilmore fans, we can all look up to Rory Gilmore herself. We can learn from her mistakes, take a hint from her (many) successes. She stuck to her studies throughout the semester and look at where she is now: freelancing all over the world.

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.
