​10 Things I Hate About You: Finals Edition
abcnews.go.com

Every student's favorite time of year, time to go home for the holidays! But only after the excruciating pain and suffering we know as finals. We all know what its like, and we all love to commiserate over our pain during these strenuous times. So in the midsts of all the panicked studying, here's your quick study break.

1. You're a murderer.

TREE KILLER. Do you see how many pages I'm printing out for this?

2. You say things you don't mean.

Wait, we have a final paper and a final exam? Not that it defeats the purpose of "final" or anything...

3. You promote starvation.

Are we not supposed to eat during finals week? What's with the “special hours” that are virtually nonexistent?!

4. You make it so I can no longer lie to myself.

Apparently studying by osmosis isn’t a real thing… damn it.

5. You nurture suffering.

They call it dead week for a reason. We all look like zombies.

6. You make me question myself.

Making us think we actually are dead… or at least wondering how in the world we are going to get through this next week. Does vacation even exist?

7. You tell me lies.

What? Sleep is an unnecessary social construct? I think there’s science to the contrary…

8. You are detrimental to self-esteem.

Numbers do define us. You can't tell people that numbers don’t define them when our entire education system is based on exactly that!

9. You take my dreams from me.

Home isn’t actually real. Along with the unicorns and my pet brontosaurus.

10. You encourage emotional and mental instability.


How am I? Oh, I'm just on the verge of a mental breakdown because I'm stressed out of my mind and I dropped my pen.

11. You steal our souls.

Really I don't even know who I am anymore. I don't have the time to know that, maybe my soul will come back after finals. Maybe.

And I'll leave you with a dash of hopefulness:

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.

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.
