11 Things That You Could Have Done On 4/20

Everyone in college knows that kid down the hall who loves Bob Marley a little too much and gets way too excited about April 20th. When 4/20 finally comes around, you realize that many more kids than just the Marley lovers want to enjoy the so-called holiday of 4/20. You see numerous drug rugs on campus and you wonder how many people actually partake in this day. You also realize that there's hardly anyone actually attending class and even SnapChat has a filter for 4/20. Here's a list of things that you could have been doing on 4/20, as a lot of people didn't do much of anything that day except nap and eat.


1. You could have cleaned your room.

There's never a bad time to clean your room. It's college and things are always messy.


2. You could have gone to the library.

At this point of the semester, there are countless assignments due, including research papers, presentations, and typical homework. Sometimes, you question if there's enough time to do everything that needs to be done. That's not to mention that exams are coming up. The library becomes a second home at this time of the year.


3. You could have watched the rainbow sponge video.

Generally, no one likes infomercials, but this one is truly life changing. If you have never seen this, I highly suggest that you do. While you watch this, make sure that you have tissues because you'll be laughing until you cry. Seriously, check it out.


4. You could have gone to class.

This is literally the most obvious thing that anyone could have done. Students are paying thousands of dollars per semester to go to school. Go to class because it costs a fortune. My personal experience of going to class on 4/20 was earning extra credit points in class because there was such a lack of attendance.


5. You could have gone grocery shopping.

One of the worst things about being in college is grocery shopping. Even if you know how to cook, which some people don't know how to, you don't know what to buy. This results in not having much food in your apartment or dorm and spending way too much money on fast food, as well as gaining 15 pounds. Grocery shopping is necessary. Buy some frozen meals and save some money. If you get really enthusiastic about grocery shopping, pick up a cookbook and learn how to make something that would impress your parents.


6. You could have watched most of the "Harry Potter" movies.

This one is pretty self-explanatory.


7. You could have donated your plasma.

Donating plasma is a very stereotypical college thing to do, but it benefits other people, so why not try it out?


8. You could have applied for a job.

Everyone in college is spending money that they don't have. Instead of complaining about being poor, try solving the issue.


9. You could have done your laundry.

Doing laundry is something that everyone has to do, whether you want to do it or not.


10. You could have read a book.

Reading is such a relaxing thing to do and if you don't do it, I feel bad for you.


11. You could have applied to The Odyssey.

One of the best things that I have done since I started college is write for The Odyssey. Writing is something that I love to do and being able to share my work through such a great format is incredible.

So, all of the things that I listed are pointless, something that you can do every day, or both. I'm the last person you should be taking life advice from, I just wanted to write something that's not glorifying April 20th.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
