It's finally here: that point in the semester where there is so much to do, but you just don't want to do it. That motivation and drive you had in the beginning of the semester is slowly starting to dwindle and we're all holding out until Thanksgiving Break. That is why I have compiled this lovely list of things I would rather do than work/study/anything related to school.

1. Sleep

2. Eat

3. Hang out with friends

4. Binge-watch shows on Netflix

5. Go outside and enjoy the fall weather

6. Actually sit down and have nothing to do

7. Watch my favorite YouTubers for hours at a time

8. Go on a date with my significant other

9. Go and explore the city

10. Shop online for cute clothes and Pop figures

11. Pet puppies. Lots of them.

12. Dance

13. Work out at the gym

14. See a play/musical

15. Lay in bed literally all day

16. Go home and see my family

17. Have a movie night with my roommate

18. Hike a nature trail

19. Read a good book

20. Drink some tea and relax

21. Do some self reflection

23. Think about all the lovely people I have in my life

24. Think about how supported I am

25. Think about how to get through the rest of the semester

26. Make a game plan

27. Put that plan into action

28. Push through the rest of the semester and reward yourself with 1-20.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

722

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.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

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

Washington College

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.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

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.

Because you need it in your life.
