Finals Week As Told By 'Friends'

As the semester wraps up and finals rear their ugly heads, it's important to realize that we're not alone. There's a whole campus full of tired college students who know that their future could be riding on the results of one cumulative exam. So breathe in the familiar scent of caffeine, find a study buddy, and try not to cry. Don't worry; if Monica can make it through her high school phase, you can make it through finals week.

1. Your friends convince you to go out and have a few. "You still have a week," they say. "We'll study really hard on Sunday," they say.



2. You go to class the next day only to be lectured by your professor, who says cram-studying isn't an option, but they aren't aware of your supreme procrastination skills.


3. And then they hand you the material you should already know that will be part of your exam.



4. So you decide an all-nighter at the library is the best decision.



5. You don't feel too accomplished, but you decide that common sense is all you really need, anyway.


6. So you walk into your exam, positive, confident and ready to roll.


7. ...until the professor drops the "essay question" bomb.



8. But BS-ing essay questions is what you've been practicing since middle school.


9. You walk out of the room happy, because it wasn't as bad as you thought.


10. Congrats on passing! You can tell mom and dad that your tuition money is paying off.

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.
