Ahh finals week, the worst time of the year. Crack open your books and prepare to have a complete and total meltdown because a week of hell is coming your way.

1.You procrastinate then realize you screwed yourself over

During dead week you say, “it’s fine my finals are not for another week” and so you can justify being the lazy creature you are. However, when finals week rolls around it dawns on you that you have not prepared in the least and that fact makes you want to cry and rip your hair out at the same time. Why do you do this to yourself? Why?

2. You spend a nauseating amount of time at the library

Due to the fact that you haven’t studied at all before this week, you now have to start cramming. The people at the tables around you come and go but you’re nowhere close to being prepared. If you have to sit here for another minute you might throw a book at someone’s head.

3. Sleep is no longer a word in your vocabulary

What is sleep? You have no idea the last time you have had more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep. Caffeine runs your life and you feel as if you’re in a time warp. What day is it again?

4. You become completely delusional

Caffeine + no sleep + hours staring at the same page of notes= admission into a mental institution. You don’t know exactly why you’re crying but tears seem to be rolling uncontrollably from your eyes. Now you’re laughing because you think it’s so ridiculous that you’re crying at absolutely nothing. What is happening to you? Pull yourself together.

5. Everything starts to annoy you

That girl in the library that won’t stop sniffing, the guy who refuses to quit tapping his pencil. Every fiber of your being wants to punch them in their annoying faces. You have to remember this is just finals week talking. It’s going to be fine, just breathe. Punch your roommate instead.

6. You feel like death itself

At this point, you are a walking zombie. The bags around your eyes are the size of Texas and you are a slight shade of green. Finals week is almost over, you can see the finish line but are struggling to get there.

7. The week is finally over and you feel like you've been through the war

This week has been so stressful and overwhelming that you just want to melt into a tiny puddle of tears. At the same time you want to celebrate because you have successfully made it through hell and back. Break is here and finally, you can sleep.

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.
