It's that time of the semester again. That time when all of your professors meet up and decide that scheduling a bunch of exams all in the same week would be a good idea for you and your GPA… NOT. Midterms. The price we have to pay before boozing it up on some beach during the bliss of spring break. But at what cost? Here are some thoughts you've *probably* had run across your mind during midterm week.

1. I can DO this

Gotta start with a positive outlook right? Grab yourself a Starbucks, sit yourself down and start grinding because it's totally possible to finish all your assigned work and study for all your exams, sleep, eat, call your mom to let her know you're OK... maintain brows… you know the drill.

2. *five seconds later* I can't do this

On second thought, maybe not. Last time I checked, multitasking is definitely a thing but maybe not when you're trying to crank out a synthesis paper and study for your stats exam at the same time. Who do you think I am?


3. When was the last time I ate?

Food? What is it? All I know it that trail mix, cheez-its and coffee have become their own food group. It's called the “how am I still alive" food group.


4. Will I ever sleep again?

LOL. What a funny joke.


5. *tries to lock apartment with car keys*

The scatterbrain. A common side effect of excessive stress and sleep deprivation. Trying to lock your apartment with your car keys is just the beginning. Try forgetting where you parked your car in the parking garage and trying to get into a car that is not yours for 30 minutes. Oops.


6. Do I look cute? Oh no, I definitely don't

About 0.35 of the way through your first all-nighter, you start to realize that the chance of running into Chad from Sigma Apple Pie in the library would be a catastrophic event.


7. Only 10 days until spring break

Pretty much the only thought that keeps me fighting. After this week from H-E- double-hockey-sticks, you finally get to breathe, eat, sleep, etc. But then press the repeat button when finals come around. May the odds 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.

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.
