Navigating College Finals

Argh! Not again!

Navigating College Finals
Siyassi

With finals around the corner, you are wrong for taking off your time to read this. Nonetheless, I should probably teach you something in exchange for your time. Did you know that twenty percent of office mugs contain fecal matter?

Twenty percent isn't a terrifyingly large percentage, but if twenty percent of people died bungee jumping, I wouldn't go. I'm not saying that people die from ingesting fecal matter – they don't. There is actually a fecal transplant used to treat C. difficile colitis, but I still don't think your fecal matter is FDA approved. Yeah, our immune systems are strong enough to fight a little bacteria, and babies often do eat fecal matter. But the thought of ever having fecal matter enter my mouth is enough to stop me from ever touching an office coffee mug to my mouth (#LoveYourself). But I wouldn't be so rude as to judge your level of hygiene!

Anyways, finals is a stressful time. Mainly because it's the point of the semester where you realize that you know absolutely nothing from the entire semester, and are about to be tested on it all. So first you internally freak out, then you call (or probably text) your friend and freak out together, then you try to figure out the bare minimum that you can still do to somehow get an A in that class, then you start to evaluate your superpowers as you chart how detrimental no food and sleep is for a week, and then you finally become more religious and start begging G-d. But who are we fooling? You're in college and aren't exactly the next Mother Teresa. So you decide to only sleep 3 hours a night (because you've evaluated this to be one of your superpowers). Before you know it, you're fast asleep...

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
