40 Songs To Help You Survive Finals Week

Cambridge University Press

It's that time in the semester again! Tensions are running high and we're all stressed af. Don't you just love finals? If you're like me, you absolutely loathe them and you're looking for a little inspiration to help you get through this next week. Well, look no further! I've been making a playlist throughout this semester for my youth group at school and I've compiled a list of some of the best songs from that playlist (don't freak out because you saw the words "youth group", there will be very few, if any, Christian songs on this playlist). I hope this playlist helps to keep you motivated while we enter this busy and stressful time and just brings you a little bit of stress relief - you got this! Good luck!

Adulting

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
