Midterms As Told By Zooey Deschanel

Ah, midterms.

The worst time of the year second only to finals. We all wish they didn't exist but college students around the world are required to do their best to come out alive of the week (likely two weeks) of tests. All while balancing the never-ending assignments, organizational obligations, and social events that you have had prior commitments to.

Midterms suck, and are especially stressful for those of us who can be described as type A, over involved, easily stressed, or all of the above. The hard work and effort that goes into midterms hardly seems worth the pain and tears that we endure. Hey, at least we can take a study break to laugh a little at our own pain.


You realize that midterms are about to start and you aren't prepared at all. It'll all work out though. Maybe.

Every single one of your professors decides to dump a million assignments on top of the exam.

When you accept the fact that your social life is at a standstill for the next 3 weeks.

The first time you go to the library to study for the 6 exams you have to take and realize that you know virtually nothing.

Hour 3 in the library. 9:57 pm.

Hour 6 in the library. 1:02 am.

Going to your professors office hours every day of the week.

Walking home from the library as the sun comes up.

The night before your first batch of midterm exams.

Taking the exam:

But when the exams are finally over!

You come to realize that your GPA might be in shambles after your midterm grades are released.

Congrats on making it out alive! Begin the countdown to finals.

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.
