Finals. They're the worst, huh? Well, as I sit here, procrastinating studying by writing an extremely lengthy article, I present to you a nice study break and opportunity to procrastinate a long with me. Here are thirty-three (that's right, thirty-three) things that will help you survive the tragedy of finals week. :)
1. Buster the Bulldog.
I lowkey might be Buster's #1 fan, but c'mon, how could you not love this little face?
2. Spongebob Squarepants.
Sometimes, childhood cartoon shows are the only things that can motivate me.
3. The promise of summer.
We are literally so. close.
4. Gifs.
Gifs are life. Gifs are bae.
5. Homemade food.
Now, don't get me wrong. Cobo's a pretty great college dining service. But let's be real, there's nothing like a home-cooked meal.
6. Friendship.
(Cue the "Oh that's so sweet" comments). HA, jokes on you, I don't have friends.
7. Coffee.
Friends might not stay up with you until 7 a.m. but coffee will always be there when you pull an all-nighter.
8. Or tea.
I don't know, people drink this stuff, right?
9. Or hot chocolate.
My personal drink of choice.
10. Pictures of baby animals.
"Katie, doesn't Buster fall under this category?" FALSE. Buster the Bulldog will forever be his own category.
11. Patriotism.
Give me a "U". Give me an "S". Give me an "A". What does that spell? USA USA USA.
12. Thorough study guides.
God bless you, my kind professor, for telling me exactly what I need to know on this final.
13. Netflix.
Netflix is a Band-Aid for your soul.
14. Food.
I <3 food.
15. More Food.
You thought I was kidding, but I legitimately <3 food.
16. Probably even more food.
No, seriously. Like, I LOVE food.
17. Sleep.
GOTCHA! You're not going to sleep this week. I'm sorry. It's just the truth.
18. The promise of sleep.
When finals are all said and done, you will have plenty of time for sleeping.
19. Roadtrips.
My roadtrip will be with my three best friends: me, myself, and I. We are going to rock out for six hours on the way home.
20. Your family.
Who else can pester you with dad jokes? "Did you hear about the person who invented knock-knock jokes? He won the No-Bell prize."
21. Mugs.
It might be important to note that I'm referring to mugs as in cups and not mugs as in muggings.
22. Selena Gomez.
Don't lie to me. You love "Same Old Love".
23. IHOP.
Is it possible that IHOP is my guardian angel?
24. The YOLO.
Don't wanna study for that final? Don't! (JK you should probably study for that final).
25. Hot chocolate.
I know it's already on the list but it's just so good.
26. Facebook.
Distraction or a blessing?
27. Tissues
For all of your tears.
28. Ice Cream
"But Katie, doesn't ice cream fall under the category of food? And you've put food on here like five times already?!" Actually, ice cream deserves its own category and I only talked about food four times. So there.
29. Taylor Swift
"Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard."
30. Extended Library Hours.
The library is my safe haven.
31. Books
Do you see how happy these people are about books? We should all be this excited to see books.
32. This article.
I'm shocked you're reading this right now. Thirty-two is a big number. It's shocking what people will do in order to procrastinate.
33. Shia LaBeouf's "Just Do It" Speech.
Listen to Shia and Nike. They know what they are talking about.
