Finals week. It's just awful. The millions of tests, papers, and projects to turn in before you are allowed to enjoy Christmas with your family is almost unbearable. Who better than the Grinch to portray finals week, being as he hates just about everything.


1. When you look at your finals schedule and wonder why professors create cumulative exams.

Cumulative exams are just cruel. Especially when it's finals week and you have four more exams to take within a five-day span. This just makes you question everything, and have just about as much hate at the Grinch.

2. When you have so many things to do but simply cannot find the motivation.

It seems like an accomplishment if you create a schedule for yourself right? Although your schedule may lack real progress towards any type of studying. You might just need to add in some sleeping or eating time before any real studying gets done.

3. When you convince yourself to go out with friends.


Sometimes you just need to reward yourself for all the hard work you've accomplished. Or maybe you've accomplished nothing but still need a break. All of those assignments will still be waiting for you in the morning.

4. When you need to find a killer outfit for a class presentation.

Trying on outfits before that big presentation just like the Grinch. Maybe don't steal your wardrobe from the man right outside your house. Also, you should probably actually end up going, unlike the Grinch himself.

5. Eating. Always eating.

The stress of finals alone might cause you to binge eat. Or eating simply because you want to avoid other responsibilities. Either way, a little brain food might help you continue your studying.

6. When you seriously contemplate leaving the house every morning.

Getting out of bed every morning can be a struggle. Waking up for those 8 AMs are seriously horrendous. Why even consider leaving the house?

7. The fear before checking your final grades.

You know if you fail that final, you'll most likely fail the course. Maybe just hold off on checking your grades. Out of sight, out of mind right?

8. When finals are finally over.

Finals are over. You can breathe. And maybe actually enjoy some Christmas family time before next semester begins. Christmas is the best time of year, so spread some holiday cheer and get into that festive mood now that the pain of school is done (for now).


Finals week sucks. Everyone knows that. But you can get through it and think about all of the holiday cookies you're going to consume in just a few short days!

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.
