It is that time of the year again. You probably think I'm talking about the wonderful magical time of Christmas, right? Wrong, I'm talking about the dreaded week of finals. It doesn't matter if it is your first round of finals or your last the stress and pressure of them never fully goes away. "But you have dead week to prepare. It isn't that bad." Excuse me while I laugh at that statement because have you seen a dead week schedule, it might actually be worse than finals week itself. Here are 20 terrible things I would rather do than prepare/take my finals.


1. Go to the dentist.

2. Watch two hours of Fox news.

3. Work a double.

4. Have to drink decaf coffee for a week.

5. Get a shot.

6. Watch a movie you hate.

7. Sit in standstill traffic.

8. Not be able to get into your favorite bar for a week.

9. Have to eat a weeks worth of meals you dislike.

10. Deal with old high school drama.

11. Stub your toe.


12. Not have a Netflix account all of Christmas break.

13. Spend all day cooking a meal only to ruin it in the end.

14. Have to watch UofL play sports.

15. Fall in love with shoes only to find out they are out of your size and backordered until after season.

16. Drop your favorite makeup and it shatter.

17. Have to wear your clothes inside-out for a week.

18. Sit in on a four+ hour long flight with three screaming babies.

19. Watch a "final thoughts: Tomi" video.

20. Show up to a concert only to realize you forgot the tickets and will miss half of the show now.


Good luck and happy finals, ya'll.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
