Congratulations, you have made it to the last week of classes!! After a long and arduous semester, I think we can all agree that this final week should be a relaxing time to reflect on the hard work you have done the last 4 months. BUT, it is actually the complete opposite... I'll let our buddies in Parks and Recreation tell it like it is!

1. When you realize this is the last week of office hours:

Basically scrambling to meet your professors to get in their good graces before the final next week.

2. When you pull all-nighters finishing up your 10-page papers, final projects, and presentations for the week:

Everyone has conspired against me to make this the worst week of my life.

3. When you dress up for class to show your professor that you care before Finals Week starts:

Because you're practically going to be living in sweatpants next week during finals.

4. When you think about everything you have to do for the week:

Stressin' all day, every day.

5. And, while you're stressing, you eat everything in sight:

Stress-eating is SO real.

6. And load up on caffeine:

Just my millionth cup of coffee tonight, no big deal.

7. When you practically live in the library:

A place where you're surrounded by people suffering in similar situations as you.

8. Having existential crises at 2 in the morning becomes the norm:

What am I majoring in? What do I even want to do with my life? What is life???

9. Actually, what even is sleep?

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

10. Between the piles of homework, you come to the realization that this is practically your last week with all of your friends:

Because the entire campus is dead during Finals Week.

11. When your professor adds extra work that wasn't on the syllabus at the last minute:

I was planning on that one hour of sleep tonight, but I guess it's now going to be spent doing this random assignment.

12. When your mom sends you the "just one more week of classes!" text, which gets you super excited:

SUMMER IS COMING!!

13. But, then you realize, "Oh my God, just one more week of classes..."

Well, this week snuck up on me...

14. So, then you frantically text everybody you know to hold emergency group sessions:

Let's freak out about this upcoming exam together!!! It'll be fun!!

15. You start reviewing:

This is EASY, I got this final!

16. ...And, keep reviewing:

Did we even learn this???

17. But, then you realize it'll all be worth the stress, tears, and all-nighters because summer is just around the corner!

You got this!!!

18. ...But, first, you have to get through Finals Week...

Ah, there's the catch...

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.
