Finals week is coming up. It’s the week we’ve all been dreading for months now. Despite knowing it was coming, let’s be honest, none of us have started studying yet. If you’re looking to continue your procrastination streak like I am, look no further.

Here are 40 things I’d rather do than study for my finals.

  6. Vacuum.
  7. Download the new iOS update.
  8. Visit my old high school.
  9. Organize the fridge.
  10. Clean the kitchen counter.
  11. Clean my bathroom.
  12. Clean anything, really.
  13. Shave.
  14. Buy store brand groceries.
  15. Take the stairs instead of the elevators.
  16. Be locked in a room with all of my exes at the same time.
  17. Go without my phone for a day.
  18. Have my phone, but no Wifi or data for a day.
  19. Automatically “Super Like” every person that comes up on my Tinder.
  20. Explain Tinder to an elderly relative.
  21. Explain any kind of technology to an elderly relative.
  22. Contemplate the next four years as Donald Trump as President.
  23. Contemplate the previous events that have lead to Donald Trump becoming President-Elect.
  24. Go see a Broadway musical with Mike Pence.
  25. Spend time with Mike Pence, in general.
  26. Watch Fox News all day.
  27. Visit University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (how ‘bout that game this Friday Heels?)
  28. Visit Duke.
  29. Watch an entire round of golf.
  30. Participate in an entire round of golf.
  31. Retake Calculus.
  32. Retake AP Spanish.
  33. Wear socks to bed.
  34. Eat tortilla chips without salsa.
  35. Drink whole milk.
  36. Take my chances with a dose of Penicillin (I’m allergic).
  37. Walk around with a rock in my shoe all day.
  38. Listen to the “Barbie Girl” on repeat for 24 hours.
  39. Eat an entire jar of mayonnaise.
  40. Pretty much anything, honestly.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
