19 Things I'd Rather Do Than Study For Midterms

With midterms coming up for some and just passing for others, we all know how stressful and annoying studying can be. One at a time is bad enough, but having multiple exams in one day is possibly one of the worst scenarios one can be put in. This week I found myself doing everything in the world other than studying, so I could put off my problems. We'll see how well that idea worked out for me next week.

Here are some things we'd rather do than study for midterm exams:

1. Sleep.

2. Check social media.

3. Bake a cake.

4. Go shopping.

5. Go on a road trip.

6. Order pizza.

7. Run a marathon.

8. Watch the Presidental Debate.

9. Read a Nicholas Sparks book.

10. Watch Netflix.

11. Go to the doctor's office.

12. Watch a hockey game.

13. Talk to my great aunt on the phone about her cats.

14. Sit in the rain.

15. Draw or color a picture.

16. Do yoga.

17. Go bird watching.

18. Eat a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard.

19. Anything else, really.

I know all these things activities sounds like a blast but I recommend actually studying for your midterms. Good luck!

Xo and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
