Finals Week As Told by One Tree Hill

I don't wanna be anything other than an honor student

Finals Week As Told by One Tree Hill

As far as CW teen soaps go, "One Tree Hill" takes the cake in speaking to our soul. In a town filled with love triangles, parental abandonment, death, and crazy stalkers, the show's wisdom can apply to a similar tragedy: finals week. We are going to look at just some of the times "One Tree Hill" was completely relevant to our real lives, especially when as we prepare for a terrifying exam.

You go through the trouble of booking a group study room and no one from your class shows up.

Seriously? Do they have any idea how deeply that hurts me? The only way we will survive this is if we work to come together.

Your professor tells you the exam is cumulative, with an essay.

How do I even begin to prepare for this? It will take me an entire month just to get through and review all the material. Retaining it is a whole other story.

You stop caring about what you eat and what you weigh, and succumb to stress and emotional eating.

Looking decent in a bathing suit is completely overrated, right?

You finally have some much needed time to relax and your friends want to go out.

You realize you have not done anything exciting in a week because you have been so busy studying.

Why does it have to be this way? Why?

One of your friends tells you they don't have any final exams.

Your neighbors insist on being loud when you are trying to cram in a power nap between rigorous study sessions.

Don't these idiots have some work they need to do?

You are on the verge of a meltdown because you just can't take it anymore.

Please tell me that is not the only bottle of wine in the house.

You turn in an essay you are not that happy with.

You climb into your closet and sob because you are so exhausted.

Please, let there be a light at the end of this dark, sleepless tunnel.

You actually get some time to rest between exams.

I never thought sleep would be a luxury, but I will never take it for granted, again.

Things your professor promised wouldn't be on the exam are actually on the exam. And worth a lot of points.


What kind of sick person does this?

You're angry with yourself because you are pretty sure you bombed your exam.

When it is finally Friday, exam week is over at last, and you get to spend some time with your beloved sisters before you separate for an entire summer.


College is tough, sometimes, but the friendships you build certainly make it all worthwhile.

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.
