Midterms Week As Told By Sour Patch Kids
Candy Crate

We just recently had midterms here. Luckily, I’m here writing this article so I survived. One of the biggest things that got me through this trying time was somebody that I know I can always count on. They’ll never leave me; I can always come to them in a moment of need. No, I’m not referring to my best friend… well, they might be my best friend… I’m referring to sour patch kids. These little dudes always come in clutch for me. They know when I need a boost and they’re always there to give it to me. As I was buried in studying I realized that my situation can be comparable to that of a sour patch kid.

Professors Are Like Sour Patch Kids Sometimes

“I’m not going to try and trick you on this midterm, I promise. ”Cool, he cares.I’m going to study hard so I’m actually ready for this midterm. I go to get my midterm; every multiple choice question has choices A-F and E is always all of the above and F is always none of the above. The matching is one of those some may be used more than once or not at all deals.Thanks Professor, I’m glad you weren’t trying to throw any of us off our game here. He cares though because he graded on a curve and it saved our lives.

That Horrible Moment When You Realize You Actually Should Have Read

When it’s 2AM And Sour Patch Kids Has You Taking Your Philosophy Too Seriously

What is the meaning of life? Why do we do what we do? Are we really good people? Why am I studying for this midterm? How is it going to make me a better person? DO SOUR PATCH KIDS HAVE SOUR PATCH PARENTS? These are just a few of the questions that plague me when I’m exhausted and just don’t want to learn anymore. Never mind the fact that these are deep philosophical questions so this technically counts as productive studying, right?

Midterms Are Literally The Boring Paper-Like Cousin To Sour Patch Kids

Midterms get a bad reputation (and they probably should), but they can be sweet.It’s terrible to study for them, to take them, and sometimes to get the grade back on them… wait, where was I going with this?

Thankfully, I survived the week thanks to my sour then sweet little buddies, and like midterms week, they’re all gone.

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.
