Finals Week, As Told By "How I Met Your Mother"
TV Guide

Finals week, aka the worst week of the semester. A week of no sleep, complete stress and a lot of caffeine. In reality, most of us haven't done anything this semester besides watch Netflix and order pizza. We cruise through the entire semester with very few things to worry about. Once the end of the semester hits, though, it's all downhill from there. Here is finals week, as told by "How I Met Your Mother":

1. Starting out strong, determined to get that 4.0 GPA

2. After five minutes, you think you deserve a study break

3. You read your notes 10 times without comprehending anything

4. When someone asks you to study with them when you've already been in the library for seven hours

5. When it's the night before the exam and you still have no idea what's going on

And someone tells you that there's no way you'll learn it in time.


6. When you realize that they were right

7. The day of the test, you can't help but look like you haven't slept in a week, but it's the motivational mirror pep-talks that keep you going

8. When you get your final grades back and your GPA doesn't suck and you didn't fail anything

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.
