40 Things I Did This Week Instead Of Studying For Finals

Lacartes

As we all know, finals season is in full swing and college students across the country are eyeballs deep in work. I am no exception: six courses and 19 credits do not make for an easy finals week schedule. I have had papers, tests, presentations and evaluations to complete, sometimes all four for one class. However, I am a procrastinator extraordinaire and have managed to put all of my work off until literally the day before it is all due. How have I been spending my time, you ask? Well ...

1. Decorating my apartment for Christmas

2. Doing dishes eight times a day, even if there is just one spoon in the sink

3. Drinking copious amounts of coffee for no other reason besides the taste

4. Cleaning out the fridge of all the expired healthy food that we said we were going to eat but never did

5. Making to-do lists and then never actually doing anything on them.

6. Writing this article

7. Catching up on "New Girl" episodes that I missed

8. Re-watching "The Office" for the eighth time

9. Hosting a party

10. Wrapping Christmas presents

11. Watching the 2004 teen movie "Sleepover" starring Alexa Vega

12. Stringing lights around our kitchen and almost falling off the counter in the process

13. Cleaning and re-cleaning my room

14. Printing out a bunch of papers that I don't actually need

15. Texting my roommate about how bored I am

16. Eating literally all of my snacks

17. Trying to figure out where to order food from next since our refrigerator is empty and no one wants to go food shopping since we're all leaving in six days

18. Going to see "Office Christmas Party"

19. Counting down the days until my 21st birthday

20. Planning our apartment's 21st birthday bash, which is three months away

21. Buying tickets to go see "Why Him?" on opening day

22. FaceTiming my brother

23. Making pasta, which was interrupted by the fire alarm going off in my apartment building

24. Eating Cookie Butter straight out of the jar

25. Taking unnecessarily long showers

26. Applying for internships (someone please hire me)

27. Making playlists on Spotify

28. Making my Christmas list

29. Complaining about how drafty it is in our apartment

30. Watching Vine compilations

31. Watching SNL skits and talk show interviews on YouTube

32. Making chicken nuggets and pizza rolls at 1:30 a.m.

33. Meeting my friend's puppy

34. Sleeping in late and then staying in bed for an hour doing nothing

35. Checking my Timehop

36. Experimenting with the new group chat on Snapchat

37. Trying to figure out what to get my mom for her birthday

38. Re-reading Amy Poehler's autobiography "Yes Please" aka my favorite book of all time

39. Playing a heated game of Taboo with my roommates

40. Spending time with my friends before we all leave for winter break

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
