Prepping For Finals

Finals are coming, and what is the college experience without utilizing your time for the authentic college experience. These moments could effect the rest of your life so choose wisely and don't make any mistakes ever or you will live with endless regret and hate yourself forever. Finals are a fun way to prove you've learned things by memorizing facts and numbers that you will forget in a month and vomiting them onto paper either in the form of writing a paper and not going to sleep or choosing "C" on the scantron when you have no clue what the answer is. Finals can be scary, they hold a lot of weight and uncertainty. There are ways to alleviate some of this stress, and I know some of them. So here are six ways to prep for finals.


1. Sharknado

I cannot stress enough how good this movie is. The genius idea of making a poorly made monster movie on purpose is phenomenal. It's so hard to choose a favorite, seeing as there are currently four of them: "Sharknado", "Sharknado: the second one", "Sharknado 3: Oh hell no!" and "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens". Each film gets more and more bizarre, I highly recommend watching it with your friends. If you have any lol.


2. Get a Pen Pal

What better way to disassociate from your life then to get involved in someone else's life that you have no connection to other than writing to them? This fun and entirely outdated form of communication will take up a lot of your time and mental energy. You won't be able to focus on trivial things like the 18 pages you have to write for your history final because you'll be far too busy writing 18 pages to Albina in Vladikavkaz, Russia about literally anything but Roman Civilization.


3. Hibernation

Some people say that humans are incapable of hibernation, but who says you can't be the first person ever to successfully sleep for months in a cave. Who's going to stop you? Your mom? If you're a commuter maybe; but if you live on campus you are in charge of your life. Your roommate may try to stop you but just put up a "do not disturb" sign or something. Plan carefully, eat as much as you can the day of, take full advantage of that meal plan, then promptly go to sleep. You may miss your finals put you have to put that on the back burner because revolutionizing the science world has taken priority now.


4. Become the next Jackson Pollock.

Jackson Pollock was famous for his abstract drip paintings. He would throw, dribble, and splatter paint on huge canvases in his barn all day and made a career out of it. Why not you? Action painting is totally doable, and Pollock isn't really on the scene anymore since he died in a car accident in 1956. He basically did that just for you and you're sitting here worrying about finals? Go dance with a canvas while covered in paint and make a life for yourself!


5. Work hard on your finals.

no one does this


6. Ascend into a celestial being.

Ascend into space and live past time and existence. Live in the 7th dimension and care not of earthly things for you have become something entirely new beyond human comprehension. It is beautiful and terrifying all at once.


But like, you should still write to Albina, your letters are the highlight of her month.

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.
