10 Things To Do Instead Of Studying

It's that time of year where every college campus is full of stressed out students. They are all attempting to keep it together as they finish three papers, study for all the finals and attempt to keep friends at the same time. While all of this is happening they are itching with Christmas fever. All of this combined leads to extreme levels of procrastination. Right now on any college campus you are sure to find students doing any of the below instead of studying like they probably should.

1. Binge watching Netflix

When your backpack weighs 400 pounds and your computer is staring at you, that's when Netflix seems the most comforting.

2. Overeating... a lot

You have to get your money's worth since you already paid for the meal plan. So when all else fails, the caf is there for you

3.Sleeping

As students, we are perpetually sleep deprived. So why not catch up now?

4. Talking about how much you have to do

We all have stuff to do, and we all know that. But why actually get to work when you can text everyone, complain on Twitter, Facebook and every other online platform?

5. Calculate what you need to get on your final

This is when you realize you know nothing, so instead of working and actually learning, you calculate the exact percentage you need to get on the test to pass the class.

6. Online shopping

As soon as finals are over it's Christmas break, and you know that you're going to get money, so you're just spending it now.

7. Refresh Twitter... every 10 seconds

Something cool happened somewhere and you need to know about it.

8. Clean anything and everything

You haven't vacuumed in a while, and you really need to laundry. Can't study in a dirty space.

9. Call you parents

You want to go home, so you call. Then they ask why you aren't studying and you are right back to where you started.

10. Color

Kids don't have finals, so just act like a kid and color for a while.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

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!
