It's Finals Time! Break is less than two weeks away and that is all that is on any college kid's mind. Well, that, and the fact that there are up to 5 finals standing in the way of freedom. Trust me, I know that no one likes to study for their finals and I know that seeing family, friends, celebrations, and pets are all way more enticing than that French final you have to get at least a B on. We are all there with you and can definitely feel your pain. Everyone dreams that our professor will magically cancel our final or give us all A's, but we know that won't happen. That is why I made a list of 5 things I would rather do than study for finals because we can all wish right?
1. SLEEP
I am positive that a 24 hour nap is something I would much rather do than study for my Economics final. I don't care about the day I miss out on or any activities. A nice long long nap is all I am asking for.
2. Binge-Watching Netflix
No, I don't want to go to the library for 8 hours and study. I just want to sit in my bed all day and binge watch Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girl. I would rather watch Chuck and Blair break up for the 6th time than learn about another element on the periodic table.
3. Online Shop
$125.59 + FREE SHIPPING? Sign me up!! I would rather go broke at this moment right now than go to that study group. Yeah, yeah grades are good for me to make a lot of money in the future but WHATEVER, did you not see the FREE SHIPPING?!
4. Eating My Weight In Junk Food
Goldfish, Pretzels, Pizza, Cookies, Ice Cream, and 10 pounds of popcorn. Yeah, I think that gaining the Freshman 15 in one Finals week is way better than researching the reasons why global warming is affecting the glaciers. Who needs science when you have junk food to explain anatomy to you?
5. Watching Cute Animal Videos Until I Adopt a Cat That I Can't Afford
You cannot be honest and say that you don't stop what you are doing when you see a puppy chasing it's own tail or kittens fitting into a tiny bowl video. That is just un-American. Spending hours on hours sharing and replaying these adorably cute videos until you find no recollection of running to the nearest shelter to buy a cat you can't afford is way better than attending that tutoring session with your professor, duh.
In all seriousness Finals just plain suck. I would rather do any of these things than actually study. But, since we live in a world that requires you to take them and pass college in order to be successful at most things in life I guess we won't be spending our time online shopping or sleeping. I hope everyone does well on their finals and heads to the library after reading this because those cute animal videos are coming for you.
