Your Life During Finals Week, As Told By "Elf"

Finals week, the only week when studying is truly your top priority. Eating, sleeping and functioning as a normal member of society are secondary.

When your professor gives a review sheet for your final:

But then you realize the final is cumulative:

You've spent so much time in the library you forgot how it is to actually socialize with members of society.

You begin to wonder what its like to have more than a few hours of sleep a night.

You've drank so many cups of coffee from the library coffee shop that you soon believe that its the best thing ever, and suddenly feel the need to congratulate them for being able to keep you awake studying.

And the coffee shop already knows your order, so you just have to show up like:

Sleep deprived and sick of studying, Literally anything and everything people do annoys you.

After hours of studying, you realize how much more studying you still have to do, and fall into a half an hour state of disbelief.

You continue to procrastinate while questioning everything from why finals exist to why your finger has a heartbeat:

You whip out the secret stash of snacks that you brought with you and devour them as a full meal in record time.

You try to self test yourself and realize youve made zero progress since youve opened your books.

You begin to fantasize about all the things that you're going to do once you get through finals week.

Suddenly, the amount of work that you still have to do to get a passing grade on your finally hits you in the face.

You study to your breaking point and then realize that your brain might explode.

You get to the test and your afraid to look at the first page.

When you actually see that some of your studying was worth it.

and then finally, after what seems like an eternity of studying and finals, you run out of your last final, knowing that winter break is upon you.

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.
