The Last Weeks Of The Semester As Told By The Grinch

College is by no means easy- but the end of the semester can be especially stressful. It seems like the last few weeks of the fall semester is a mad dash to get through finals and on to the holidays. Here is an accurate depiction of what happens during the last three weeks of the semester. I hope all of you college students out there make it through another successful semester- and may the odds be ever in your favor.

1. You come back from Thanksgiving break feeling like those few days off were just a tease.

GIPHY

2. And you know the worst few weeks ahead are what stands between you and Christmas break.

GIPHY

It's fine. Everything is fine.

3. So you do everything you can to remain positive.

GIPHY

4. You begin to realize that your planner is the one key to your survival through finals, so you begin to write your life down.

GIPHY

Hmm. According to my planner I have just enough time to fit in another writer's block on this paper before the next mental breakdown.

5. You realize that you have approximately 5 tests, 4 papers, 3 presentations, 2 anxiety attacks and a partridge in a pear tree to complete- and that's all BEFORE you even get to finals week.

GIPHY

6. The hours seems like an eternity as your eyes glaze over each new study guide, and you wonder if Christmas break actually exists.

GIPHY

7. Somehow you make it through those giant assignments and tests, and you have a new outlook on life.

GIPHY

I'd like to thank my bed for always loving and supporting me, even though we haven't seen each other for a long time.

8. But then it hits you.

GIPHY

Oh CRAP....

9. Finals. You still have finals.

GIPHY

Well, there went any sanity I had left.

10. You collect yourself, and try and smile through the pain.

GIPHY

11. As Finals race closer, you try to balance studying with a little Christmas cheer.

GIPHY

12. On the eve of Finals week, you find yourself torn between feeling confident and feeling like a total failure.

GIPHY

No amount of coffee can save me now. Either I know it or I don't.

13. You walk into the first final, resembling your best attempt of being a functional human, ready to stare the test in the face and give it your best shot.

GIPHY

14. ...That wasn't as bad as I thought...

GIPHY

15. You get your grades back:

GIPHY

Maybe I won't fail out of school after all...


Congratulations, you have successfully completed another semester of college. Now, go home and relax, celebrate the holidays and enjoy your families... because in about a month we will have to come back and do it all over again! .... #college. Happy Finals!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
