Classes are finally over, the end of the school year is upon us, and the only thing sitting between you and a summer full of fun are those finals. Final exams are what all college students absolutely dread. By the time final exams roll around, your mind is in summer mode, your body aches for sleep, and yet here you are, up all night cramming for finals and trying to learn 15 weeks of material in a matter of hours. It's so easy to procrastinate, and let's be honest, there are so many things I would rather be doing than studying for finals, including...

1. Rearrange my entire dorm room.

2. Binge watch every show on Netflix.

3. Shave my head.

4. Nap for the week.

5. Live in Antarctica.

6. Relive middle school.

7. Clean the bathroom of a frat house.

8. Sit in traffic all day.

9. Drink expired milk.

10. Run a marathon.

11. Rewrite the dictionary.

12. Spend finals week in prison.

13. Be trapped in a room with Donald Trump.

14. Only eat beets for the rest of my life.

15. Have a root canal.

16. Shave a hairy man's back.

17. Go streaking across campus.

18. Watch paint dry.

19. Read Shakespeare.

20. Gain 50 pounds.

21. Lose $100.

22. Kick a bees nest.

23. Laundry.

24. Take a freezing cold shower.

25. Play in traffic.

26. Go skinny dipping in the middle of December.

27. Pluck my hairs out one by one.

28. Get a face tattoo.

29. Get lice.

30. Have blood work done.

31. Go to the dentist.

32. Scrub the floor with a toothbrush.

33. Actually vote for Trump.

34. Pick a fight with Ronda Rousey

35. Rub hand sanitizer on a fresh cut.

36. Wear gray on gray.

37. Go skydiving.

38. Clean my room.

39. Make my bed.
