26 Things To Do Instead of Studying
HRH Walls

It's that time of year again - finals. The time where students spend hours and hours studying in order to learn everything possible for the exam. At least, that's what we should be doing. But we all know that the majority of us are procrastinating. So, if you were looking for something to do instead of the important studying you should be doing for your test tomorrow, I made a list of possibilities.

1. Sleep

2. Clean your room

3. Clean everything

Cleanliness is next to... studiousness?

4. Plan your holiday shopping list

5. Plan out your studying schedule

Then reward yourself with a break

6. Figure out how many dining dollars you have left

7. Realize that you don't have nearly as much left as you thought

8. Research how many calories you REALLY need to consume to continue function

9. Decide that it is better to give your brain as many calories as possible to survive finals and buy tons of food

Treat yo self

10. Accidentally fall asleep after eating tons of snacks

11. Intentionally fall asleep because "naps help your brain retain information"

12. Pack to go back home

There's a lot of stuff I have to drag home for break. I might as well start packing now

13. Calculate how many hours you have until you can finally leave campus for the semester

In case you were wondering - it's way too many

14. Freak out because you are running out of time to study

15. Watch "just one" episode on Netflix

16. Stare into the abyss

17. Tell yourself that you need to start studying soon

18. Realize you have been saying that for the past five hours

Oops

19. Calculate what grade you need on the final to make an A in the class

20. Get a little scared

Not enough to motivate you to study, though

21. Realize that "too much stress" won't help you remember things

22. Research yoga moves you can do in your dorm room "to find your zen before you start studying"

23. Spend an hour watching cute animals do yoga because "it's basically the same thing"

24. Get all your textbooks out and then reward yourself by checking all your social media four times

25. Try to convince yourself that your spotless room needs to be cleaned again

You've cleaned it already...but it could always be cleaner

26. Repeat above as long as possible until the overwhelming stress forces you to begin studying

Happy Finals Season! May the grades be ever in your favor

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
