30 Things I’d Rather Do Than Study For Finals

Cause who wants to spend the next 72 hours studying 16 weeks worth of material...for multiple classes. Yeah, me neither.

30 Things I’d Rather Do Than Study For Finals
erafaeygossips

We are all nearing the end of the semester and the most dreaded tests: finals. There are those who are lucky enough to have no finals and only papers to perfect, but if you’re like me and you have multiple finals, it’s hard to find the motivation to study. It seems impossible that the amount of material you’ve taken notes on could have been covered in just 16 weeks. Distractions seem to be bountiful when you sit down to focus on studying. And at this time, there are so many things I’d rather do than study for finals. For instance:

1. Read a book

2. Listen to Christmas music

3. Decorate a Christmas tree

4. Ride around looking for Christmas lights

5. Hike a mountain

6. Run a 5k

7. Watch movies in my pjs

8. Fly across the US

9. Better yet, fly across the ocean

10. Then hike mount Everest

11. Clean the kitchen

12. Wash a car by hand

13. Invent something new

14. Write a book

15. Teach a puppy obedience training

16. Or just play with puppies

17. Go ice skating

18. Watch paint dry

19. Drink coffee

20. Learn how to play an instrument

21. Go to a basketball game

22. Paint something

23. Teach myself to write with my left hand

24. Do laundry

25. Replace a roof

26. Hang out with my friends

27. Donate blood

28. Shop for gifts

29. Get a manicure

30. Attend an opera

Alas, ignoring finals won’t make them go away. We can make it through friends. Persevere and work hard. The break will be here before you know it. I guess I’ll go back to studying now.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
