This picture brought peace to my soul. So future husband, wherever you are, this week I shall be praying for you to ace your finals! Heh 

Okay now in all seriousness, finals week? Definitely not as bad as the week before finals! This has been so long, and so hard! Every big project is due, and every class is throwing in last minute tests. Then to add to that, I'm a music major during the Christmas season, so there are a million performances, and rehearsals for the performances, and concerts I need to attend. And the cherry on top? I live with 10 messy girls, (i love them all, but sometimes they are messy) and cleaning check is next week. And this is no ordinary cleaning check. Ohhh no. We have to WASH OUR WALLS in our bedrooms, or we are fined like $30!! Like... What?! Ridiculous. 

However, I am trying to keep a smile on my face and stay positive throughout all this, because a bad attitude never helps anything. So even though you want to scream and shout and strangle every person, you don't. Instead, you do spontaneous, crazy things with your roommates to relieve stress. Like go to Walmart at 12:30, and buy lots of ice cream and pizza. 

I really do love my roommates, even though they are messy and crazy. I love college, even though it's difficult and demanding. And I love ephraim, even though it smells like animals and is freezing cold here, and everything closes at midnight. All this is totally worth the memories and friends I've made. 

Good luck to everyone who is starting finals soon. Finish out strong and don't give up! May the odds be ever in your favor.
