Finals, already!?

Here it is! The final 7-day stress-filled, emotional roller coaster before you can binge watch Netflix all winter break and annoy the crap out of your mom for like a month (more than that). You encounter so many different kinds of students during finals week, some take it seriously some could not care less about their finals and some are a mix of the two. Basically, finals bring out the bad side of everyone involved. Here are just a few that I have personally encountered over my years in college:

1. The "I don't need to study" Show-off

This person is not worried about finals whatsoever. They think their classes are easy enough that they don't even need to study, and you hate them for that! Meanwhile, you're putting in endless hours of studying and they're going out drinking or binge-watching Netflix. Ugh...


2. That person that has just given up

This person is just so done with studying. It seems like there is just not enough time to study all of this material from the past 3 months and they're just over it. They've studied and the material just seems to never end so they've accepted their fate. Here goes nothing...


3. The Procrastinator

This is the student that will do absolutely anything just to avoid studying. They're sitting in the library taking endless Snapchats of their friends, refreshing their Instagram every minute (even if nothing is showing up) and creeping on that girl Jessica's 'Summer 2011' Facebook album. Studying with this person is nearly impossible because they talk the whole time just to avoid looking at their reality. Put the phone away and get back to work!


4. The Flash Card Fanatic

This person is extremely organized, especially with flashcards. They must have hundreds of flash cards spread out across their desk and they have gone over each pile 20 times already. They know what they're doing when it comes to finals, just don't mess with their flashcards...


5.The Night Owl

This person was up all night long studying and chugging red bulls. They are using valuable sleep time to cram in as much studying as possible. After their cram session, they're pretty much falling asleep during the exam and they're so irritable so stay far, far away.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
