Studying for Midterms As Told By GIFs

It's that time of year again. About a month or so into school and you've settled into your routine at school with all your friends. Everything is great until all of a sudden its "Midterm Month." You tell yourself that you'll be more prepared this semester and write all your midterm/test dates down in your planner. As it gets closer to the test date, you realize you should start studying for it but you won't. Instead you'll wait until the last minute to start studying, and the cycle begins again. Here's what happens during a typical day in Midterm Month.

The day before the test:

You decide it's finally time for you to start studying, but you don't really know how to start.

Studying For A Test As Told By Parks And Rec

You procrastinate every way you can, like getting overly prepared to study by picking the perfect pen.

Or scrolling through all your social media sites, twice.


Or watching "just one episode" on Netflix.


Or making a pre-study "snack."


Or doing the dishes/laundry you've been putting off all week.


The night before the test:

After procrastinating for hours and hours you decide its actually time to start studying.


First things first, coffee.


You open your textbook for the first time all semester and realize that you should've started studying earlier.


About an hour into studying, you realize you have only gotten through Chapter 1 of 10.


Around midnight you start to crash and hate yourself for not starting earlier.

You start to blame your teachers.

Or get angry at your friends who don't aren't stressed about their exams.

Get a little delirious around 1:30 a.m.

\

Maybe panic about your grade and how it affects your future,


And finally pass out around 3:00 a.m. or as the sun rises.


The day of the test:

You wake up flustered and confused.


You have breakfast.

You get dressed and go to class.


Either you absorbed all the information you studied last night and feel ready to conquer the test...

Or you have given up on trying to do well, just want to pass and have gotten to the point of "Well, I know what I know."


After the test:

You crash, caffeinate or cry.

What's done is done. At least until next week. And the cycle begins again. #ProcrastinationQueen

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
