23 Thoughts You Have During Finals Week
https://14shadesofgrey.wordpress.com/2014/01/page/2/

Ah, finals week. Five days of cramming, studying, staying up past midnight, coffee, and calculating the lowest score you need on the exam to pass the class. The majority of your success in each class, as well as your semester GPA depends on these five days. It's a super stressful time and can make the wildest thoughts pop up in our minds. Here's how my brain usually thinks during finals week.

1. How am I POSSIBLY going to remember all of this information by tomorrow morning?

2. I should start studying now......after this nap.

3. Crap, that nap lasted a lot longer than I thought it would....

4. I'll just study after I eat dinner.

5. Shit, it's 10:00. I'm screwed.

6. Well, I think I at least, PASSED the exam....

7. C's get degrees right? It was a hard class anyway. I have four more classes to pull up my GPA.

8. OK, I Really need to study for this exam this time. No excuses.

9. *Checks blackboard* I pulled of a 90 on the exam?! OK, miracles do happen. I got this.

10. .....But on the other hand I need at least a 98 on my philosophy final to bull off a B.....better get on that one.

11. HOW DO PEOPLE GET THEIR DOCTORATES IN THIS FIELD? I CAN EVEN GET THROUGH THE INTRO CLASSES.

12. I'm stupid. I'm going to fail out.

13. I'm probably the only one doing bad. Everyone else is probably getting A's. All of my friends are so much smarter than me. What is wrong with me?

14. It's just because I have a bad professor.

15. My life is over if I fail this final. It's 30% of my grade. If I fail the final I fail the class. Then my GPA goes down. Then I fail out of my major. I'm screwed.

16. I'm too stupid for my major. I'm never going to get a real job. I'm just going to be a housewife.

17. Shit, I really need to get to sleep.

18. Well, at least the final is over with. Whatever happens, happens.

19. I survived the week! Let's have some wine and try not to think about checking Blackboard!

20. *Checks Blackboard every five minutes*

21. WHY ARE MY PROFESSORS NOT POSTING MY GRADES, IT'S BEEN A WHOLE 12 HOURS??


22. OK I just need one more grade to get my GPA. Please, please be an A....

23. OK, I survived. I did my best. Now time to enjoy six weeks of break!

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.
