Now that finals are finally over I can write this without crying.

Dear Finals Week,

I hate you so much.

I don't sleep. I barley eat. And worst of all everyday of that week I look like a hobo.

I just don't understand why you hate college students so much. You come like tidal wave. You just take us, push us down, and tear us apart. You just love to destroy us. You just come so quickly and all of us know it is coming but we can never prepare enough.

It seems just like yesterday it was week 1 and we were just going through the syllabus thinking about how awesome this semester/quarter will be. We all have motivation to do our work and we are kicking butt at our classes.

Then before we know it the end is near. We are hating this semester/quarter. We have no motivation. We are worried about our GPA's. And worst of all instead of us kicking this semester/quarter butt, this semester/quarter is kicking our butt.

You make me question everything that I am doing with my life. You make me question weather or not I can do it. Everyday during this week you make me debate about just dropping out of college and becoming a stripper. (I swear I actually won't do it. Don't worry mom and dad.)

Us college kids become in love coffee, red bull. Anything caffeinated will become our best friend. We all stay at the school/library until we get kicked out. We daydream about being in our beds again. We forget what sleep is. We all look like hobos.

Why do you do this to us Finals Week? WHY?

I spend so much money on red bull and coffee that by the end of the week I have no money to go out and buy food. I drink so much red bull and coffee that next week I am on break I am having caffeine withdrawals.

During finals week I stay more at the school than I do at more. I think they just need to have dorms like in the school. Not by the school but in the school.

Whenever I forget what sleep is. I just go to school thinking about how I can not wait to go home and go to bed. Like as soon as I get to school I want to go home and sleep more.

You can tell it is finals week at college because everyone is on t-shirts, sweat pants and sneakers. The girls have no make up and have their up while the guys have really messy hair. And everyone has huge dark circles under their eyes and a look of like, "Help Me! I need sleep."

I don't think I could ever express how much I hate finals week. But this can about sum it up. So hey Finals Week the next time you come around can you not be so mean and harsh. If not just don't even bother coming back.

Sincerly,
All The College Kids

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.
