11 Jobs That Suddenly Seem More Appealing Than Studying For Finals

It's that time of year again! No, I don't mean Christmas; I mean finals week. You're probably up to your eyeballs in stress and on your 6th cup of coffee of the day. Sick of dealing with the stress of hopelessly trying to save your grades last minute? Had enough of late nights in Club Lib reviewing stuff that you're going to forget as soon as the final is over? Fear not! Here are 11 alternative jobs that you could take up instead of dealing with the stress of finals.

1. Bartending

You get to make fun drinks all night and sleep all day, I mean isn't that what you already do on the weekends? You might as well get paid for it.

2. Professional Tweeting

You once got seven retweets on a #relatable tweet. Do you really need any more qualifications than this?

3. Train Conductor

Every time I go into the city, I always wonder about this job. It seems like an easy alternative to the 10 page term paper I have to write about realism in modern American literature.


4. Becoming YouTube Famous

With technology nowadays, you can make a name for yourself with a kinda good sense of humor, a good camera, and editing skills. It blows my mind that people literally get paid for doing their makeup in front of a camera or just talking about their day. If I did a makeup tutorial during finals week it would probably look something like this:


5. Stripping

Because it's hard to find your dignity when you haven't slept in 48 hours.

6. Delivering Pizza

You get to drive around and give people food. If that's not living for others than I don't know what is.

7. Driving an Uber

Can you drive from point A to point B without getting anyone killed? If so, congrats you're skilled enough to be an Uber driver.

8. Palm Reading

I can see the future: it involves me eating endless amounts of Insomnia cookies and crying in the library.


9. Professional Cuddling

This is an actual thing. Like people actually put ads on Craigslist for cuddle sessions. Sign me up.


10. Dressing up as Santa

You know it's bad when sitting in a gross sweaty costume all day and holding screaming children in your arms is less painful than studying for finals. Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is an A in Econ.

11. Writing Fortune Cookies

No matter how bad things seem, you will make it through this week!

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
