10 Things to do Instead of Study for Finals

Exam week is stressful for everyone and studying can be a real pain. So if you don't feel like studying and stressing out for two weeks, here's a list of things to do instead of study—so you only have to stress out the night before your exam.


Watch Sunday night football.

Or watch basketball or any sport that you can successfully convince yourself you need to watch the end of before you can even think about studying.

Get a coffee from Starbucks.

Honestly, who can study without caffeine?

Go get food.

Well, an empty stomach isn’t going to keep you focused. Perhaps you should go out and eat at a restaurant with slow service? And who doesn't love a good food break?

Make a study playlist.

You can’t possibly be expected to study without a perfect compilation of sound coming through your headphones.

Organize how you’re going to study.

Unfortunately, organizing all your tests and assignments in your planner doesn’t count as studying.

Scroll through Facebook.

This is like the never-ending page of distraction. You’ll never run out of animal videos to watch.

Try to reserve a study room at the library.

We all know this is a waste of time because the library rooms are booked for exam week like a month in advance.

Try and convince your friends to go to the library with you.

Because no one likes to study alone.

People watch at the library.

With a packed library, there is sure to be some interesting behavior to distract you from your priorities.

Take a nap.

A well-rested mind is important when you’re trying to cram in all that information you haven’t been studying.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
