Finals Week As Told By Elle Woods
Odyssey

I think we can all agree that college is never easy. From managing your insanely busy schedule to just doing the little things, like laundry every other week or feeding yourself, college can stress you out big time. It's hard to go from high school life at home to a college world that is completely outside of your comfort zone and different from the world you left behind. However, there is one part of the semester that is particularly strenuous and leaves you feeling like you've run a hundred marathons by the end of it: finals week.

Finals week can cause you to have a wide range of emotions over just a short amount of time. One day you might be having a stress-induced breakdown, but the next you might be excited from dreaming about your summer plans. Either way, there's always one person who can help you get through the madness that is finals week, and her name is Elle Woods.

Finals week just started and you're telling yourself that this will be the semester that you ace all of your finals. After all, you just have to believe in yourself.

After you finally sit down to study and realize that four hours have already gone by since you promised yourself you were going to start.

As you review your flashcards and notes, you begin to feel confident. You're going to crush this test.

You're so proud of yourself for knowing all of the information from the class. You can link everything together to form a cohesive response to your practice test question.

But after a while, you start to get so stressed and tired of studying. You might even begin to cry.

But Elle is here to tell you that you can't let a test get in the way of your dreams!

After all, how hard could it really be?

Once you're done studying for the night, you go to bed. But not before picking out your test-taking outfit for tomorrow!

It's test day! You sit down and take out all of the things you need to take the test, like your pink, fluffy pen which you use for good luck.

But then you open to the first page of your test and you notice that you know absolutely nothing on the first page. You might start to panic right there in your seat.

You flip through the entire test and realize that the whole test is full of information that your professor did not put on the study guide.

Since you don't know some of the answers to the test, you start to make up information. You even make up where you got it from.


After meandering your way through the maze of awful test questions, you leave the test and don't know what to think. Actually, you don't even want to think about it anymore (even though you secretly still do).

You try not to worry about it too much because you know that no matter what happens, you will always have good friends to get you through the tough times.

As time passes, you get the email saying that your grades are up, so you check your college portal. And you find out that you aced it!

Now it's time to celebrate! Go out and have a great summer! You don't have to worry about finals until next year.

The end is almost near, friends! Keep your chins up, hearts full of hope, and your heads full of useless details about that one lecture exactly 12 and a half weeks ago! May the odds be ever in your favor this finals week.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
