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!

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.
