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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
