The end of the year is here and that means it's time for work overload. As exciting as summer anticipation is, there is nothing nicer than taking a break and enjoying Chapel Hill. If procrastination is your favorite pass time, here are 10 places you can enjoy so you don't spend every second crying in Davis.

1. Getting ice cream at Mapleview

I scream, you scream....we all scream because finals are coming and all we need is ice cream and a great view.

2. Hanging with friends on Craig Deck

Overlook the campus and enjoy a spring night all while avoiding your responsibilities.

3. Soaking up the sun at Jordan Lake

Bring an Eno or a book or a football. Take a break and visit the lake.

4. Playing with a puppy on the quad

Puppies solve everything. 20 minutes with a puppy will do the same as 2 hours of studying.

5. Getting lunch at Sutton's

There is no better Chapel Hill tradition than a good hot dog at Suttons. Maybe Sutton's works as a form of finals osmosis. See friends, get good food, ace your exams.

6. Taking a day trip to the beach

I personally think I'll learn more from the ocean than from my textbook. Sounds productive to me.

7. Enjoying coffee at Perennial

Talk. Enjoy. Spend time together. Don't study. There's nothing nicer than a pretty day and the atmosphere and a good cup of coffee at Perennial.

8. Seeing a concert in Carrboro

They don't even have to be good artists, they just have to be singing, or sitting, or doing anything other than studying.

9. Rushing Franklin

Okay, so maybe basketball season is over...but I'd still rather be doing this than sitting in Davis.

10. Taking a nap

We need sleep. Doesn't that qualify as finals studying and mental health care?

Finals season is the WORST. If you really feel like you can't spend one more minute in Davis, here are 10 things you would benefit more from doing. Study hard. Play hard. Ace your finals and enjoy your summer.

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.
