The Oh So Dreaded Finals Week

Coffee, coffee, coffee.

The Oh So Dreaded Finals Week
collegemagazine.com

We all know what it's like to take college finals. Some you can breeze through, while others make you want to cry before, during and afterwards. No one, I repeat, no one enjoys taking finals. At the beginning of the semester, we're all hoping and praying that the professors don't say the dreaded words "cumulative final." It's hard enough remembering all the information for one test, let alone the entire semester. As a sophomore in college, I have now been through four semesters of finals and let me tell you, finals week brings out the crazy. However, all being in the same boat, no one will judge you for what happens throughout the week. Here are a few things that happen during finals week that college students accept as normal.

1. You can sleep anywhere and no one will judge because they wish they'd thought of it first.

2. The amount of coffee consumed is tremendous.

3. You've lost count of how many all-nighters you've pulled.

4. You see people in the library or class that you've never seen before.

5. You contemplate dropping out every five minutes, thinking, "Is it all worth it?"

6. You'll cry at the drop of a hat.

7. You've eaten Taco Bell or McDonalds every day with no shame.

8. You've got your mind on that beach trip you planned with your friends.

9. You watch Netflix instead of study because you think you have time...

10. You see people in the same clothes as the day before due to all-nighters.

11. You don't actually know what day it is...or even month.

12. You haven't seen the sun in a week.

13. You see high schoolers freaking out over finals and just laugh at them.

14. You have to start packing up your room for the summer, and it stings a little.

Knowing you won't get to see your friends the entire summer makes studying for finals hard!

15. You see high schoolers on college tours and think, "It's a trap. Don't put yourself through this!"

16. When you pass your finals, you know God has big plans for your life.

17. You can now breathe because you're on summer break!

Happy finals week and may the curve be ever in your favor!

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.

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.
