20 Things College Students Do Instead of Studying

The struggle is real at the end of April

20 Things College Students Do Instead of Studying
Odyssey

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) :

  1. Sleep (because is 10 hours really enough? Probably not)
  2. 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)
  3. Workout (we got to get rid of our anxiety somehow)
  4. Pet puppies (UAB supplies those things like candy)
  5. Online shop (summer is coming quickly after all and we need the latest styles)
  6. Clean (yes we will would rather clean than study)
  7. Eat (massive amounts of food are consumed during the end of April)
  8. Go out (nothing makes you forget your problems more than a little alcohol)
  9. Social media (the biggest procrastination tool is at the tip of our fingers)
  10. Plan (there’s so much to do this summer and so little time to plan it all)
  11. Calculate what we need to get on the exam to get said grade (the only math we really do in college)
  12. Complain about how much we hate studying (instead of actually doing it)
  13. Sun bathe (the weather has been so nice you can’t miss out on a little tan)
  14. Jam out to music (partly to drown out our tears, partly because concert season is basically here)
  15. Think about what to wear to the end of the year banger (the themes are getting pretty particular lately)
  16. Chill with friends (because nothing makes us feel better than knowing everyone else isn’t studying either)
  17. Work (a little extra cash in our pockets feels better than wasting time studying does)
  18. 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)
  19. Dress up and attempt to look nice (to please the look good, test well gods obviously)
  20. We wander around the internet aimlessly (sometimes it’s YouTube, sometimes it’s those Tasty videos on Facebook, other times it’s Odyssey articles)

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
