Finals Week As Told By Buddy The Elf

The time has finally come when semesters are ending, and students are beginning to cram for finals and last-minute extra credit to boost their grades. The only thing on their mind at this time is getting that "A" they desire. It is becoming difficult to get in the holiday spirit due to all of this, and Buddy the Elf shows very well how students feel during this stressful, frantic time.

When you’re doing absolutely everything but the one thing you should be doing...

When students are stressed, they tend to believe that ignoring the situation and hoping all the work will go away will somehow magically happen as a “Christmas Miracle”.

When your teacher constantly says, “You’ll be fine,” just to get you to stop complaining...

They always say it. “You’ll be fine.” “Your grade won’t change too much.” HA- Little do they know, we actually have no idea what the “semester review” is talking about.

When you keep making the same mistake while studying EVERY SINGLE TIME...

Whether it is a single wrong word on a flashcard or saying the opposite of what it should be, the repetitive mistakes tick students off until they are about to reach their breaking point.

When you study material that won’t even be on the final...

Oh, yes. Then, this happens. When you just thought it couldn’t get any worse, you realize that you’ve been studying the wrong material the entire time. Such a mistake often makes students ask themselves why they are even in school in the first place.

When the caffeine finally hits during the study session...

With endless cups of coffee to keep the studying streak alive, the rush hits at the most random moments and intensifies until you crash.

When you tell your parents you will most likely fail the final...

Then, there comes the doubt. When the hours of studying seem to get you nowhere, you accept the fact that you’ll fail, drop out of school and ruin your life (which will not happen even if you think that’s the only option).

But…..when you find out you actually aced the exam...

How did it happen? Who knows. All you know is that you managed to pull it off. With tears of joy and lots of excitement, screaming of happiness is something will likely to occur.

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.
