This week is the beginning of Finals for many college students. It's a time that can bring long hours at the library and overloads of coffee at 2 am, while the rest of the world is sleeping. The irony is that such time of stress comes during the most joyous times of the year -- Christmas, Hanukkah and New Years. A time when you don't want think about anything else, yet to just be in your home with your friends and family, go ice skating or just simply sip a cup of hot chocolate while walking by trees lit by colorful lights.

I am guilty of the truth of not wanting to be present during finals week when the days of vacation are calling me. Yet, I am not the only one. For some, this will be their last semester in college and will receive their degrees in May or for some, a new university awaits them with new beginnings. Although, we may not want to go through this week, let's just think about it in a different perspective. Once we are finished with this week, we will close one door and move on to the next.

All in all, to all my dear friends, Let's finish strong this week. Let's give it all we got to get one step closer to where we are going for this is not a continuous thing, yet it is temporary.
