Who needs to study when you can cry instead?

10 Ways to Procrastinate Studying for Finals
The Odyssey Online

If you would rather do literally anything than study for your last few finals at Baylor, check here:

1. Drive around downtown. If I'm being 100% honest, I would willingly drive way out of my way to take the lit-up bridge on I-35 at night. Austin Avenue has some beautiful Christmas lights, and if you're completely bored, there's nothing better than cruising around downtown, blasting Christmas songs and pretending you don't have a final in less than eight hours.

2. Make a Christmas playlist! You might as well pick out your favorite holiday songs and distract yourself from the principles of quantum physics (or whatever else you got stuck with). You may regret it tomorrow, but it's probably a lot more fun than whatever you really needed to be doing.

3. Calculate what grade you need to make on the final. Also, calculate your estimated GPA. Who needs to *actually* study for said final? I mean, this is basically math...

4. Write an Odyssey article. Who says I should be studying for finals right now? It's not like I have a final at 9AM...

5. Look through everything on Netflix. Twice. Make a list of all the shows you've been wanting to watch. Check it twice. Listen to more Christmas music.

6. Cry about your finals. Who needs to study for finals when you can just get really stressed out about how you're not studying for finals? That's all I'm saying.

7. Do...laundry...? Because, hello, you're getting desperate here.

8. Start packing. "Maybe I'll just head home early...I didn't want to take that final anyway..."

9. Shop for Christmas presents. And then remember how broke you are and apologize to all of your friends and family members for giving them homemade coupon books for Christmas.

10. Start returning your textbooks. Might as well. It's not like they're going to good use here.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
