Final Exams Can Be Stressful
personal

During your years you spend at college you are going to have to take final exams most likely two times a semester. Final exams can be a stressful time for any college student whether you are a freshman or you are going to be graduating soon. Although many students look forward to final exams because it means that it is either summer or the beginning of winter break there are those who are not looking forward to finals. This is a time during the year where students are studying their hardest to make sure they pass all of their classes so it looks good on their transcripts. While there are those students who usually wait to study for finals the day before the exam it will not help you because you may have to study for more than on exam that day. Some students when studying for final exams like to do study groups with their friends and make sure each other knows the material. Even though finals are stressful for college students there are different activities you can do with a group or alone to help you de-stress.

Sometimes if you are preparing for final exams different activities committees will hold different events to get your mind of finals and studying and more on relaxing and having fun. Although this is a time where many students begin to stress, they do not realize that they are able to have fun and not think of finals for a few weeks. Although they may be doing activities to help relieve them of stress it can also distract them from doing their finals prep. With that being said during this time it is most important for students to be focusing on their work and making sure if they have questions to meet with their professors and to talk about what is challenging and what they do not understand.

During final exams week there is sometimes more on the line for some students than there are with others. For example if you are in the spring semester and nearing graduation there are those seniors who are almost able to graduate but they need their final exams to help boost their GPA. Therefore it all depends on the situation you are in credit wise. Even though some may take it more seriously than others, finals should be taken seriously because it can help you pass a class and get a good grade if you are on the cusp of passing or it can disappoint you by giving you a failing grade if you are near the failing mark. Therefore no matter what, whether you are a freshman going into your first ever final exams week or a senior going into one of their last final exam weeks you should always want to study your hardest to make sure you are prepared and hope to pass.

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.
