The end of the semester is a stressful time, and we all need to remember to relax every now and then. Flyby is here to help! This is the second installment in our Seven Days of Reading Period series, inspired by "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Stay tuned for more!

On the (evening of the) second day of reading period, Flyby gave to me two poignant reminders that college isn't everything and finals aren't the end of the world.

First, in the wise words of Beyoncé, "Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life?"

Secondly, if ruminating about your GPA is getting you down, just think about Ellen DeGeneres. The world-famous comedian dropped out of college, and as she told the audience in her 2009 Tulane University commencement address, "I'm not saying you wasted your time or money, but look at me, I'm a huge celebrity."
