The Grueling Process Of Finals Week, As Told By Tina Belcher

Finals week is upon us. You're either going through the various motions of preparing for it right now, or you just finished them last week and you're sitting here in a daze now that it's all over. No matter who you are or how well you think you managed your time leading up to finals week, it's always going to jump right up on you and kick your butt.

And speaking of your butt, who's the first spunky, endearingly awkward female sitcom character that comes to mind when you hear that word?

Tina Belcher, of course!

If you're a big fan of the show 'Bob's Burgers' like I certainly am, then odds are you procrastinated studying and writing your papers by watching episodes until you literally could not put off your work any longer. Well, in my case, re-watching, because I'm a big nerd and have already watched every episode to date. Or maybe you just shrugged off your school responsibilities and hid from your obligations under a blanket and clicked "next" at the end of every episode with no shame. But no judgement over here. Just remember it's your butt on the line...and seeing your butt on the line would make Tina pretty happy!

So! Here's your finals week, told by yours truly: Tina Belcher.

You, kissing any little bit of your free time goodbye as you hide in your cave—I mean room, to get your work done

Then you quickly decide to give up before you even start

No, you're determined to get everything done. But this is your face when you sit down and realize how much work you actually have to complete with clearly nowhere near enough time

But you KNOW you were born to be a procrastinator, so you start doing everything other than what you really have to complete

And then you get distracted by Every. Little. Thing.

So you remind yourself that if worse comes to worse, you can always go be a stripper

That feeling when your classmates put together a study group so y'all have a fighting chance of passing

And your reaction when your professors ask how your week is going

You, depending on coffee to (hopefully) help you pull through

Figuring out how to score as many points as you can on that Directed Thesis final presentation

Giving yourself a much-needed pep-talk before you sit down to write that ten-page paper

But then the studying or writing of your paper isn't going as planned

Piecing together your paper like you're a mastermind creator

Then realizing the week is NOWHERE near over yet

But you force yourself to prevail until you do so much work that you have a psychological breakdown and your thoughts become wildly incoherent

So then you try to "sleep" the night before your big exams (LOL who are you kidding, you won't be getting any sleep during finals week).

But then you wake up and convince yourself that you're ready to face the day

And you're so nervous that you absentmindedly get ready

Driving to class the day of your exam like:

Walking into your exams, hoping your suave style and ability to exude confidence will impress your professor enough to make them pass you with a decent grade

What you say to the test as it sits on your desk

But then the exam looks nothing like how you imagined it would

So you gotta remind yourself to keep it together before you lose your cool in the middle of the test

Adding some pizazz to the end of your final/final paper in hopes that it'll score you some brownie points

Handing in your exam and/or paper, reminding your professor that it may have it's flaws, but you put your whole soul into it

But then you realize upon handing it in that something you wrote was wrong

So you slink out of the room and don't dare to look back

But oh well! Because this is you as you leave for summer vacation. And contrary to popular belief, you survived finals week

When you get your grades back a few days later and find out you aced the class...

...and then your answer to everyone when they ask how in God's name you pulled it off:

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.
