Everyone knows that you have to take midterms pretty much always. Sure, sometimes you get that one professor that doesn't do midterms, but you can't avoid them forever. At some point, you just have to take them. Whether you space out your studying over a week or two and leisurely memorize terms or write essays each day or if you're like me and you study everything in one long day, you know that midterms suck *almost* as much as finals. So, to help you get through this rough time here's a list of relatable feels for midterm week accompanied by some pretty funny memes, if I do say so myself.

1. Procrastinating like there's no tomorrow

Just one more Netflix episode. Just one more slice of pizza. Yah, I've been there, too.

2. Feeling overwhelmed AF but STILL not doing any work

You're so overwhelmed by everything you have to do that you can't even start. Plus Netflix just added that new show... There's no shame. We've all done that.

3. Very hesitantly starting your work and feeling MORE overwhelmed

So, you finally started doing your work, but there's so much!

4. You're studying (Good job!) 

You got into your groove, and you're making your way through those flashcards or reading in your textbook. You're feeling better.

5. It's the night before the exam and you're scared as hell

Do you know the information? Is the professor going to put things on the exam that you haven't studied? What if you fail? What will happen to your career? Trust me, we all know what it's like. Midterms, man.

6. Feeling an insane amount of nervousness the morning before

You studied really hard, but you're so nervous.

7. Getting to the test and feeling that wave of determination and relief

You studied hard. You know you can do it. Congrats! The hard part is over!

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.
