Finals are hard, no one said they were not going to be. But they also always told us that there were more to life than just grades. So, why not skip studying this year? Please?

Sometimes it is hard to find things to do in your spare time, but plenty of things come to mind instead of sitting down to study my life away for a test my teacher already decided I would be failing. There is nothing wrong with letting go of the rest of your life, and trust me, there are plenty of ways to assure you throw away the past twenty weeks of work you have been doing. With that being said, here are a surplus of things you could do instead of studying this fall season.

Binge watch "Grey's Anatomy" and pretend that you are gaining surgical knowledge and could operate on command.

Cry watching videos of puppies and remember what it was like to have time for puppies. (Just kidding there is always time for puppies).

Tell yourself you need food because you have been working so hard and then spend four hours at the restaurant.

Go on a run. Because hey, it is just as important to be healthy as grades are.

Start looking up ways to get jobs without a degree.

Buy lottery tickets and hope for the best.

Give blood. You are helping the community and incorporating health class in the mix. Perfect.

Binge watch "House of Cards." (I gotchu boys.)

Go spend money you do not have. Half off sales, so worth failing your tests.

Lay on your floor and cry.

Remember the puppy videos and cry more.

Remember you have finals in a week and haven't started studying.

Cry again.

Fight with your mom about living off of their money for the rest of your life.

Convince your best friends to pay for you all the time so you can drop out.

Try on every tshirt you own and rank them in order of color.

Write a letter to the moon and ask the post office if they could send it for you.

Stress eat. Chick-Fil-A, Chipolte, Queso, Dairy Queen ice cream, Doritos, cookie dough, bread.

Listen to every Hannah Montana song there ever was invented.

Study the hair changes of Miley Cyrus.

Get yourself a radical hair cut.

Decorate a christmas tree after going out and finding your own tree to chop down.

Collect the change you find on the ground.

Play hide and seek with yourself in the mall.

Re- evaluate the fact you really messed up and cram the night before all your finals.

Fail out of college.

Apply to get a job and work there for a week and then quit.

Hitchhike and make new friends.

Go see every movie that is currently playing at your theatre.

Sob silently to yourself in your room (loud enough for your whole hall to hear).

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.
