The end of the semester is a stressful time for college students. A time when we generally spend the majority of our lives crying, sleeping, and procrastinating. A time where we must accept that finals might ruin us forever, we're another year closer to the end, and the real world really is out there waiting for us. Maybe the NBA will help us all feel a little better:

1. When professors don't understand that your time is precious and limited.


Sometimes they think you're spending $60,000 to take their class only.

2. Acing your presentation you prepared the night before.


Procrastination is on the road to proficiency.

3. When class is canceled.


Literally a gift and a dream come true; it'll make your whole week.

4. Looking at your alarm like:


Why you gotta wake me up like that fam?

5. At least the weather is nicer and it stays dark later.

Let's just pretend that awkward April snow flurry didn't happen.

6. When you sit down with your advisor to figure out the rest of your life.

You're beyond ready to get your shit together.

7. When the conversation turns serious and you actually need to make a plan for the rest of your life.


You're actually so not ready to get your shit together.

8. Then you can't help but laugh at how stressed you're becoming.


It's cool. I'm fine. Really, I'm FINE.

9. Because literally everything is due on the same day and you're just trying to slide by.


Stop trying to make sliding happen. It's never going to happen.

10. And you seriously consider dropping out of college.


You can totally justify dropping out. Totally. Justifiable.

11. But you remember there's only 3 weeks of classes left.


And a half a week. And a makeup snow day. And a reading day. But we so close fam.

12. So you unsuccessfully try to slow time down because you're not ready to be a SENIOR.


NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING READY.

13. But your mom is cheering you on from the sidelines like:


My mom always has my back.

14. And you're like "Okay, let's finish up strong."


It's time to focus.

15. As you get ready for the biggest game of the year.


Let the domination begin.

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.

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.
