The 7 Stages Of Finals Week
Pintrest

Finals. The bane of all college students existence. The week where you can dress like a hobo, eat as much as you want, fall asleep in random places, be crabby and no one can call you on it because literally everyone around you understands.

1. Panic

You're grades aren't where you want them, and you keep calculating over and over what the lowest possible grade is that you can make on your final which causes you to start hyperventilating over your mountains of notes.

2. Sleep Deprivation

Coffee becomes you're new best friend, because after panicking about your grades you come to the conclusion that you don't know anything and therefore you need to go over EVERYTHING from the entire semester, resulting in no sleep.

3. Hanger

You don't have time for sleep, and you BARELY have time to make coffee which probably means you're getting little to no food causing HANGER. Hunger that runs so deep your roommate knows that if she walks by she's likely to loose a hand, while being yelled at.

4. Mental Breakdown

You've given up, you're done for. All those dreams that you had for your future are flushing down the toilet because this test is worth 20% of your grade, and there is just no way.

5. Acceptance of Failure

You get yourself together after losing it, and decide that you just don't care anymore. You stop looking over notes and start looking towards Netflix, because Netflix won't let you down. Right?

6. Anger at human existence

Everything everyone does makes you hate them. They're breathing too loudly, they're sipping their drink in the most annoying way possible, or they're sitting just an inch too close to you. It doesn't matter, their very existence annoys you.

7. "I've got this"

You're at the test. You've gone through everything, every note, every power point, every piece of homework. You've memorized all you can, which clearly means that you're ready to ACE THIS THING.

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.
