Everyone is different when it comes to studying or not studying.

12 Ways Students Deal With Finals Week

Finals week is coming up and people tend to act a little differently during this time. Some people lock themselves away in the library, while others sleep through exams. Now, some students are better at dealing with exams and papers then others, but which type of student are you?

1. The Perfectionist

The student who tries and tries and can never seem to get it right.

2. The Student Who Seems To Have It All Together

They've been creating study guides and notecards for weeks, and they've even highlighted their textbook and notes.

3. The Student Who Ignores All Responsibilities

This person starts to live in their own little fantasy world as soon as the words "your final exam" are spoken by the professor.

4. The Student Who Forgets How To Study

The student who, throughout the whole semester, got good grades but as soon as the exam study guide is handed out, they are hopeless.

5. The Student Who Sleeps Through Most Of It

Have a friend who you never see during finals week? Either they are intensely studying or they are the student who wakes up only for the exam.

6. The Student Who Runs On Caffeine

You will never see this student without an extra-large coffee or energy drink in their hands. Without their caffeine throughout the day, I fear they would collapse and never be the same.

7. The Library Dweller

They usually are surrounded by empty food containers, open textbooks and their own tears.

8. The Partygoer

I mean why study for final exams when there are a ton of end-of-the-semester parties to go to?

9. The Student Who Tries Interesting Techniques

Who knows, maybe it actually works! Who are we to judge?

10. The Student Who Just Breaks Down

There isn't too much to do for a person once this happens. I would suggest finding some pizza and chocolates fast.

11. The Liar

These students will tell you over and over again that they are okay and that you should not worry about them. Start worrying about them. These friends are almost as dangerous as the ones who break down.

12. The Students Who Take Out Their Stress on Inanimate Objects

As long as they aren't hurting anyone and just their pillow or a wall, eventually they will settle down and get back to studying.

Final exams are hard for everyone, but we all are going through it and we need to stick together. We will all be free soon and have the whole summer vacation ahead of us.

Unless you know, you've got a job, or an internship, or you've graduated and have entered the real world...and on that note, good luck on your finals!

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.
