Well, the semester is finally over. If you’re like me, you have a ton of extra quizzes, tests, and articles that you read for class (*wink, wink*). If you are wondering what to do with all of them, look no further than this list of 11 things you can do with your old papers.
1. Recycle
Although you were not directly responsible for all the trees being killed for your exams, this is a great way to give back and prevent more trees from being killed in the future. It will probably make you feel better than some of those exam and quiz grades made you feel.
2. Paper airplane wars
Grab some friends, make as many paper airplanes as possible, and have an epic paper airplane battle. Choose an open space or somewhere where you have obstacles to hide behind. When you’ve been hit, you’re out.
3. Paper snowball wars
Are your paper airplane making skills a little lacking? Just crumple up the paper into balls and have a paper snowball fight. You could also have a dunking contest. Totally your call.
4. Christmas in June/July
Can’t wait for the snow? Take all of those old tests and quizzes and make paper snowflakes. You can hang them from the ceiling or tape them to your windows. If you are really missing shoveling, you could throw them all over your driveway and shovel them all away.
5. Pretend to be "The Newsies"
Anyone that has seen the movie "The Newsies" has always dreamed of reenacting the infamous paper destruction scene. If you haven’t seen it, this clip will give you the inspiration.
6. Learn origami
Looking to pick up a new hobby? Make a little Yoda to put on your desk or some flowers for special occasions. There are tons of different things to make.
7. Buy a Spirograph
WARNING: These are addicting. There are so many different designs that you can make and so many different colors that you can use. If this doesn’t make you feel nostalgic, nothing else will.
8. Wrap a present
If you are still living on that college budget, have no fear. You can use all of those old tests and quizzes to wrap your next present. Just maybe cross out the grades that you got.
9. Shredder
Enough said.
10. Color a picture
Relive your childhood and color a picture. You could use crayons, markers, colored pencils, or a combination of all three. You’re an adult now; you can do what you want.
