11 Ways You Can Waste Your Time Instead Of Studying For Midterms
Jazmin Quaynor

Don't get me wrong. I'm going to study for my midterms. I have to. I provide myself in doing well in my classes. Let's be real though. There's a million things I'd rather be doing than sitting in front of my textbooks and stressing out.

1. Watch House Hunters

Though I'm no where near the point of buying a house, I can still window house shop. Plus, watching couples fight over whether they want a modern or Victorian home.

2. Pet a million corgis

...Or any animal in general. I just have an obsession with corgis, so they were just a good general animal.

3. Go to the gym

I'm not a big gym fan, but I'd rather run four miles on a treadmill than sweat over my textbooks.

4. Play The Sims

At least, my sims self doesn't have to study to start her career. Her dream career is just a call a way and I'm jealous of that.

5. Go Pin Crazy

Nothing is better than a killing an hour or two pinning random things on Pinterest. Will I ever actually do all these pins? No, but they are there if I need them.

6. Attempt Make-up Tutorials

I am no good at make-up, but I'll try if it gets me out of studying. I'll probably end up looking like Pennywise but oh well.

7. Make To-do Lists

I'm the queen of making lists. My reminders on my phone are all just lists and lists of stuff I need to do or want to do. Once I finish a list, I make a brand new list.

8. Buzzfeed Quizzes

I can get lost in a sea of Buzzfeed quizzes. Do I really need to know what Hogwarts house my cat belongs to? Yes, I do. I need to know if we are matching. (She's a hufflepuff, by the way.) I'm a big fan of the new ones that ask you if you can plan something and stay in budget.

9. Do Laundry

Laundry beats studying for midterms. That's all I need to say.

10. Eat Good Food

Most people would just agree that food is better than studying.

11. Read

What I'd give to have some time to read for my own pleasure? I'm done with articles and textbooks. I want adventure, strong characters, and humor.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
