There is a time in every student's life when he or she has a week or two of pure hell. You, as a student, know exactly what I am talking about. Finals week is full of late nights in the library, occasional mental breakdowns at 1 a.m., Cookout runs, triple shot espresso lattes until you're delirious and at your point of exhaustion.

There are a few moments in particular of this dreaded time that could not be more accurately portrayed than by one of the most charismatic characters on television, Michael Christopher Kelso.

Studying.

Midnight rolls around the night before your exam. You're in the library reading through your notes and realize that you are no where near ready for your exam.

Refusing to go to sleep until you know all the information, you make the not so smart decision to stay up all night.

You are no longer comprehending information, and it seems like there's no hope for you to learn all the material in the next four hours. So, instead of wasting the rest of your night, you decide to go to sleep.


In the same clothes as yesterday, you walk into your exam looking like death is around the corner.

Don't forget the huge bags underneath your eyes, greasy hair and RBF you're giving everyone as you walk past.


You walk out of your exam and realize that you haven't eaten in over 12 hours.

Now that you're physically and mentally drained after profusely studying for an exam you failed, you need to refuel.


As you walk into the cafeteria, you see the squad eating lunch.

You smile as you walk over to their table, and then they ask you how you're doing. You respond by telling them how awful your morning was.


One of your friends makes a joke after you enlighten them of your past 12 hours.

Friend: "Hey, you couldn't have done THAT badly"

You: "Yeahhh..."

But they continue to remind you that you probably bombed the exam.

At this point, you're running on three hours of sleep and you're a bit irritable. Without any regard to anyone else's feelings, you burst.

Then they remind you how awesome you are and how you and your GPA will survive.

Even though they joke around, you can always count on your friends to lift you up in your time of need.

If you're stressing out about your exams, papers and projects, don't worry! You have a support team going through the same thing that you are. Make sure to get some sleep, and eat well. If that's not enough, you know that there's a Starbucks nearby calling your name. Enjoy your last week of the semester, because when you're on break you are going to miss everyone.

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.
