Finals are finally upon us, and it is that time of year when the weather drops, the library is overcapacity, and everyone seems to contract strep. Here are a few tips on how to stay somewhat happy and healthy during hell week.

1. Bundle Up!

It's no fun if you get sick a few days before your most important final. Where your most comfy sweatshirt and fuzzy socks to keep warm and comfy during the all-nighter your about to pull.

2. Eat Healthy!

I know that Ramen may taste better, and it takes 2 seconds to make, but eating some greens will go a long way to keep you healthy and your brain working.

3. Take Naps!

More likely than not you are going to be reteaching yourself everything the professor was supposed to teach you during the semester. So make sure to take naps to give you enough energy to keep going. Napping for no more than 45 minutes will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the next few hours.

4. Do NOT Cram the Night Before!

Classes end early for a reason, do not slack off and neglect your studying. For maximum information retention it is best to start periodically studying a week before your final.

5. Lastly, Stay Motivated!

We are all working towards getting the best grades possible in our class, so stay motivated by giving yourself a reward every time you finish a study guide, or finish reading a chapter! This will keep you from burning out and help you move forward!

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.
