1. You sleep...a lot

Finals just ended and now you are home. What is the most logical thing to do at this point? Sleep. Sleep until you think you can’t sleep anymore and then prove yourself wrong.

2. You binge watch that Netflix show you started before finals.

That show that pre-finals you couldn’t stop watching? Well now you have the time, so what else are you going to do except watch it... for the whole day.

3. You aimlessly wander around.

You walk up the stairs, sit down and look at your phone. You walk down the stairs, sit down look at your phone. You walk to the kitchen and remember you aren’t hungry. You walk to the nearest chair and sit down. Maybe you even miss the chair and end up sitting on the floor, but that’s OK too.

4. You end up applying for jobs.

Why not spend this time in search for monetary gain over the summer? You might even have better chances because of others not being home yet. You go online and start searching for anything and everything. However, all that filling out spaces makes you tired, so you sleep for a bit.

5. You text your friends.

You message your friends. You ask them excessively when they will return. They remind you they have barely started finals week and that they need to be studying. In an attempt to gain human contact through this, you tell them to teach you what they are studying.

6. You sleep some more.

All that learning made you tired. You drift back into sleep and make your parents wonder if you are actually hibernating.

7. You start to play the in-app purchase games.

You have the time on your hands to wait those two hours to get more energy to use in those apps, so why not? Now you are playing whichever game was recommended to you or you saw in a commercial on TV. Whichever comes first.

8. You do laundry you had put off.

Well, now you have two hours to waste before you get energy in your game. What is a person to do? How about that massive amount of laundry that should have been cleaned before you left school?

9. You text your friends again.

The virtual humans in your game are no longer enough. You text your friends again. Maybe this time they will be done finals. Right?

10. You give up and go into hibernation.

The boredom has overpowered you. Nothing is happening, so why should you be conscious? You decide to fulfill your parents' suspicions and hibernate until you are awoken by your friends' glorious return.

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.
