The Last Week Of The Semester As Told By "Friends"
TV Guide

It is the last week of the semester at USF. There are tears, finals, sleep deprivation and lots of coffee. This is my first fall semester at USF and I loved every moment that I had with the people that I befriended. You have two emotions: happiness and sadness. Happiness, because you finished a semester of college and you get to go back home for a month. Sadness, because you are leaving college for a month. You don't get to see your friends unless you made plans. I am also sad because my roommate is moving back to Chicago and not coming back in the spring. I am going to have a new roommate and I don't know how I feel about it. This is the last week of the semester as told by "Friends."

1. The, "Why am I still here?" phase.

You went to a review session for your Calculus class. The professor says anything from Chapter 1 is fair game.

2. The realization that you won't see your friends.

I am leaving my friends and roommate for a whole month. I am going to miss you guys. I love y'all and I hope we make plans.

3. Between staying up late and studying, you need a nap.

The best decision of your life was taking that much needed nap.

4. You stayed at the library for eight hours and have not left so what do you do? Order pizza.

I mean, what college kid does not like pizza at three in the morning?

5. The "I need to pack" phase.

Between studying and sleeping, you have to pack to come back home.


6. When it's getting to the end of the semester and everyone loved their classes and you want to reconsider your entire life.

7. When you have to find a last minute tutor.

8. When you are trying to study in a foreign language.

9. When your five minute study break turns into a one hour personal concert.

10. When you wake up and you realize it is test day.

11. Needing to go out one last time with your friends before the semester ends.

12. The "I need to get get my shit together" phase.

13. You finished your finals and you get to go home.

14. But then you realized that you are going to miss everyone—roommates, friends and hall mates.

After all of that, at least for the next two weeks, you have Christmas to help you cope with what you went through.

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.
