10 Songs To Get You Through Finals Week

ClipArt Panda

I hate finals week. Who doesn't? I have found, however, that listening to music helps me immensely. It gets my mind off things and makes me feel more relaxed. Here are some songs that I have found to help me when I am feeling overly stressed and anxious about my tests--whether it be because they are lowkey and calm me down, or because they pump me up and get ready to tackle my tests.

1. Mess Is Mine -- Vance Joy

"Hold on, my darling. This mess was yours, now your mess is mine."

2. Jesus Take the Wheel -- Carrie Underwood

"Jesus take the wheel. Take it from my hands. 'Cause I can't do this on my own."

3. Out of the Woods -- Taylor Swift

"Are we out of the woods yet... are we in the clear yet?"

4. Saltwater Gospel -- Eli Young Band

"I'm in heaven watchin' all these waves roll in. When I'm lost I know where to get found again."

5. Waiting for Superman -- Daughtry

"She's talking to angels, counting the stars. Making a wish on passing cars."

6. My Wish -- Rascal Flatts

"My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to. Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold."

7. Brand New -- Ben Rector

"Never thought I'd feel like this. Like when I close my eyes, and don't even care if anyone sees me dancing. Like I can fly, and don't even think of touching the ground."

8. Comeback Kid -- The Band Perry

"'Cause I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid. Don't know why bad things happened, but they did. I don't think I deserve the hurt I get, but I'm made for it. It's not the end, no, it's not the end."

9. What a Wonderful World -- Louis Armstrong

"The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky. Are also on the faces, of people going by."

10. I'll Be There For You -- The Remembrandts

"I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too."

Blair Waldorf Quote

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future.

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
