In This Article:

We all know the feeling when you've got two weeks left of school, but you need two months for the amount of work you still have to do. It can feel overwhelming--and that's okay. It is perfectly normal to be overwhelmed by this. We need to stop denying the fact that yes--college can be a good time, but it is also really hard sometimes (especially during finals). Here are a few things you can do to de-stress during this upcoming finals season:

1. Find your playlist

My personal fav is called "Your Favorite Coffeehouse" on spotify

2. Download a meditation app

I really like one called "headspace"

3.  Go to the gym

It's proven to reduce anxiety

4. Clean your room on your study break

There's nothing more relaxing that coming home to a clean room

5. Remind yourself that it's only a test/paper

Ten years from now, you won't even remember it

6.  Go to Starbucks to study for a change of scenery

And treat yo self to a fancy Christmas drink

7. Take a hot shower

And use this time to focus on nothing

8. Remind yourself that this will all be worth it one day

Because hard work always pays off

9. Plan something to look forward to for when finals are over

It's easier to work hard when you're working toward something specific

10.  Take a deep breath

Because it's going to be okay

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.
