14 Things To Get You Through Finals Week
Buzzfeed

Finals week is coming and it might be natural to want to scream and run away, but have no fear I can help. Don't you worry cupcake, you will survive this unbearable week if you just utilize these fourteen things.

1. Coffee

Finals week is an excuse to get multiple venti iced coffees. It's definitely a must have to make all-nighters or even all day-ers.


2. Netflix

It's almost mandatory to take a break during finals week (or any week) to binge watch shows. I personally recommend "Supernatural", "Gilmore Girls", or "Orange Is The New Black".

3. Actually studying

I know you don't want to do it. No one wants to do it. But, if you don't you are almost definitely going to fail. So suck it up and look at those pages for at least ten minutes.

4. Study groups

Study groups are very beneficial because you realize that none of you know what the hell you're doing.


5. Shia Lebeouf memes

One of my best friends Emily constantly sends inspirational Shia memes to our chat and it makes my life. I suggest you do the same with your friends.

6. Memes in general

Memes are a gift from heaven above. I don't think anyone can look at a meme and not laugh.

7. Lots and lots of food

Food is also a great thing sent from the heaven above. When you are happy, you can eat. When you are sad, you can eat. When you are stressed out, you can eat. You get where I'm going with this.


8. Friends

Your friends will always be there when you need them, and if they aren't then you need some new friends. Friends help each other get through finals. (also a binge-worthy show to watch).


9. Family

Family is the friends you can't choose. However, they will always be there for support.


10. Making up songs to keep yourself sane like Marshall Erickson.

I don't know how many times I've sung "I need to memorize this page and I will get myself a cookie."


11. Music

There's nothing that The Beatles, Kendrick, or Maroon 5 can't help, not even finals.


12. Sleep

I can hear you laughing through the screen, but seriously you will feel better and more relaxed if you get at least six hours of sleep.


13. The promise that summer is soon

It's almost here, you can do it.


14. Sports

No matter if you like to watch baseball, softball, hockey, etc it will help distract you from endless self-doubt.

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.
