We all know the last thing we all want to do after eight months of school is study our asses off at the end of April. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel but there is so much work between now and summer… so naturally we procrastinate. And being the smart students that we are, we get creative. We may not be able to brainstorm project ideas but we sure can brainstorm millions of things to do instead of studying for finals. Here’s twenty ideas in case you need any inspiration, (because who are we kidding? You’ll do at least half of these) :
- Sleep (because is 10 hours really enough? Probably not)
- Binge on Netflix (even if you’ve watched everything, Netflix continues to add more shows every month so you can’t ever really run out of things to watch)
- Workout (we got to get rid of our anxiety somehow)
- Pet puppies (UAB supplies those things like candy)
- Online shop (summer is coming quickly after all and we need the latest styles)
- Clean (yes we will would rather clean than study)
- Eat (massive amounts of food are consumed during the end of April)
- Go out (nothing makes you forget your problems more than a little alcohol)
- Social media (the biggest procrastination tool is at the tip of our fingers)
- Plan (there’s so much to do this summer and so little time to plan it all)
- Calculate what we need to get on the exam to get said grade (the only math we really do in college)
- Complain about how much we hate studying (instead of actually doing it)
- Sun bathe (the weather has been so nice you can’t miss out on a little tan)
- Jam out to music (partly to drown out our tears, partly because concert season is basically here)
- Think about what to wear to the end of the year banger (the themes are getting pretty particular lately)
- Chill with friends (because nothing makes us feel better than knowing everyone else isn’t studying either)
- Work (a little extra cash in our pockets feels better than wasting time studying does)
- A combination of laughing and crying (crying because we have so much to do, laughing because we know we probably won’t do it until last minute)
- Dress up and attempt to look nice (to please the look good, test well gods obviously)
- We wander around the internet aimlessly (sometimes it’s YouTube, sometimes it’s those Tasty videos on Facebook, other times it’s Odyssey articles)
