5 Ways To Succesfully Avoid Studying For Your Finals
Huffington Post

During the time of the week before finals, here I am procrastinating every single thing I have to do doing anything but what I should be doing. Here are the top 5 things I much rather do than sit and study for finals:

1. Watch Netflix

Let’s be honest here, we all know you much rather be laying in bed binge watching the series you’ve been watching, start a new movie, or just find something new to watch. Whatever it is that you choose to watch, or are watching, it is simply just better than studying for finals.

2. Hangout with your friends

You know you rather be doing some random things with your friends than sitting in the library with books upon books and study guides. You rather be going for random target runs, going to get coffee from Starbucks, or even just going to Panera Bread for a nice lunch. You might even just want to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing with your friends, but anything is honestly better than studying for finals.

3. Shopping

Driving to the mall and walking around window shopping or going into the stores and finding something new to buy is simply just a stress reliever. Online shopping is just a simple addiction that probably every girl has and is even more fun because you get to lay in bed and not even have to drive anywhere. However you shop, which ever way you choose, it is just simply better than studying for finals.

4. Hangout with your dog

Being with that little pup, or the big dog, always just puts a smile on your face. Whether you’re in the backyard throwing around a ball, going around the block for a walk, or just laying in bed with the dog, it is just simply so much better than studying for finals.

5. Writing this article

I’ve been sitting in the library for hours upon hours studying and have distracted myself in more ways than I can remember. Writing this article was more fun than finishing up the paper that I have due or making a study guide for one of the many finals I have next week.

Overall, you know there’s so many other things that you much rather be doing than studying for finals. The end is in sites, almost hear, and when it’s all over, Christmas is here. Within a week they’ll all be over and there will be no more stress.

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.
