12 Things College Students Do Instead Of Studying

Every college student wants to be good at time management. Wanna know secret? We never are and most likely never will be. (Expect my friend Brain who is literally like a dad and plans everything.) We all want to finish our homework right when we get it, but in reality it turns into us doing it the night before or finishing it an hour before it's due. Here are 12 things us college students do instead of studying.

1. We take naps


And I don't mean that 27 minute cat nap that is suggested, I mean the three hour nap that you wake up from and you're like, "What year is it?" or your roommate says, "Oh you are alive."

2. We watch Netflix


Not one episode of the "The Office" Or "Parks and Rec," I mean eight episodes of "The Office" and "Parks and Rec." And then eight more episodes of "Bobs Burgers" because why not.

3. We over eat

This gif represents what we look like when someone calls us out for going up for thirds even though we all know we need it or actually want it.

4. We go out

And by go out I mean we wait for the Krispy Kreme hot light to come on for our free doughnut or drive around until one of us finds a coupon we can use somewhere because we are poor.

5. We walk around our dorms hoping to make new friends

Sometimes you just gotta walk around knocking on people's open doors asking if anyone wants to play Cards Against Humanity, even though you all should be doing something way more productive than picking a white card to go with the black card that says, "The class field trip was completely ruined by _____."

6. We creep on our friend's social media accounts

This can either mean your friend, your best friend, that super cute boy in your dorm, your campus crush, that girl on your floor you hate, your ex, your ex's new boo thang or your mom. Any really works.

7. We go to sporting events you know you do not have time for

Sometimes we don't even pay attention to the game, rather we sit with our fellow student athletes and complain about how we should be studying or watching the game.

8. We cry

When one college student starts to cry we all start to cry. It's this uncontrollable chain reaction of sadness. Once we start crying about the movie, our crying leads to more crying about our lives. (And yes even dudes cry.)

9. We watch crazy amounts of dog videos

Please try and tell me that watching dog videos is not important. I dare you.

10. We make playlist for everything

We have a playlist for showering, driving, walking from classes, eating, TGIF, getting ready for any event that needs hype music, "studying" music, playlist for making playlists and my fav: stress free music.

11. We work out for too long


We might have finished our work out for day, but once that cute lax boy walks into the gym, you already know we are coming up with ten more work outs to do and are about to go 12,542 times harder than before.

12. We read Odyssey posts


Gotcha. Hahah.

Congrats, you can now go on and look for more things you can do other than study.

(I do study mom, I promise.)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
