The 6 Worst Studying Tips

It is that time of year again! Classes are coming to an end and all the work you have been putting off is coming in real hot. When you first get your syllabus and realize that all the big things are not do until the last week of classes you figure you'll have all the time in the world to get to it later but its later now and do you have time? Of course not.


1.) Go out every night of the week

Honestly its been a hard semester and you deserve some time off! So skip out on club library this last week and just go out and have a ball.

2.) Just eat all the junk food

We've heard all our lives that fruit and vegetables help our brains and scientifically help us do better but lets put it to the test. All the food in the snack drawer just pull out and eat that for dinner maybe you'll see if you do better or worse on your exams.

3. Hide from your notes

Opening your notebooks and going back over all your notes does not seem like fun, so instead let's just play a little game of hide and seek and hide your books and don't go back to look for them.

4. FaceTime with your friends from home.

You're going to see all your long lost best friends from home in one week but why wait? Spend all day and night FaceTiming with them instead of getting any work done because staring at each other and talking about nothing seems better than actually studying for those tests called finals.

5. Stay up all night.

Nap all day and stay up all night? Let's do it. Netflix is coming out with some good new movies and shows so why not choose that over sleep then nap when you should be in class.

6.) Go to the library and talk.

Everyones in the library trying to get their last minute work done and you want to feel like your getting work done too, so go hang out in the library. Rather than studying though sit there and talk to your friends and distract everyone else while you're at it.

By the way, don't do any of these things during finals week, but you could just do the exact opposite and good luck on 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.

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.
