5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study For Finals

Finals suck but staring mindlessly at a Netflix series doesn't.

5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study For Finals

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.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
