15 Things To Do Instead Of Studying For Midterms

Let's all be honest, midterms are the worst (well apart from finals). You've tried to go to the library and study but there are no free tables and every time you study in your room you just end up sleeping. In reality, you know you need to study but why not delude yourself into thinking that you are fine, and totally prepare for your exams, by doing these 15 things instead of studying for your midterm:

1. Clean Your room.

You will definitely study better in a clean environment. At least that is what you tell your mom when she calls and asks how studying is going.

2. Binge TV Shows on Your Netflix.

I don't know about you but I have PLENTY of things on my Watch List what will keep me busy for a few hours.

3. Watch Organizational Videos on YouTube.

Why not pretend you are getting your life together, right?

4. Pintrest.

Spending eight hours of your life planning your dream wedding and designing your future house, which might be unattainable, because you are most likely going to fail that midterm.

5. Text Everyone You Know Asking to Hang Out.

Chances are they are also avoiding their responsibilities, so why not do it together?

6. Learn the Rap to TLC's Waterfalls

Side note: if you have not seen We're The Millers, this scene is by far the best.

7. Do Laundry.

No need to keep wearing the same dirty t-shirt and shorts. At least you'll have a cute outfit to wear when you fail.

8. SLEEP!!!

No explanation needed.

9. Try To Find Love On Tinder.

Well, probably not love just a few gross/awkward pick-up lines that you will definitely be sending to your friends later on.

10. Create a To-Do List!

You'll probably never complete anything on it, but at least you wrote it down so you are aware of all the work you are putting off.

11. Go Online Shopping.

Do you really need that sweater in 7 different colors? Probably not, but buy them anyway.

12. Delete The 1,026 Screenshots and Dumb Photos You Have in Your Camera Roll.

I promise you that you don't need 19 different versions of the same selfie.

13. Take Personally Quizzes.

Of course, it's important for you to know what kind of friend you are based on your clothing preferences!!

14. Plan Your Halloween Costume.

While you're at it plan your Halloween costumes for the next 15 years, and your future husband's costumes, and your future child's costumes and possibly your dog's.

15. Cry.

Because you just realized you wasted all this time when you could have just studied and gotten it over with.


Honestly, midterms are not the end of the world. Just sitting down and starting to study is the hardest part. But on the bright side, if you fail then you always have the final to bring up your grade!?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
