We are almost there: finals. That dreaded word that sucks the life out of every college student throughout the country. How to pretend you didn't sleep through half your lectures? How to write a paper on a topic you know nothing (yes, nothing) about?

There is only one answer: Procrastinate. Since coming up with ways to procrastinate takes too much effort, here is a list of ways to make "better" use of your time during finals.

1. "Screw this, I'm gonna go eat cookies."

Ponder how many cookies you could consume without exploding. Forty? Fifty? Sixty?! Go purchase cookies and test it out! You're practically doing science!

2. Instagram your feelings. Choose the right filter and test it out 30 times to make sure its perfect.

Think about all the work you need to do. Instead, make a duck face and share the struggle with the world. It's productive!

3. Think about how you now have Bieber fever because you have been watching that GIF 30 times already and can't seem to stop.

Well, shit.

4. Pretend you're a magician and order a pizza using your cool magical device.

Make sure not to share the pizza, you're celebrating being alive and deserve all of its cheesy goodness. Treat yo self!

5. Consider dropping out of school to become the next Miley Cyrus.

She gives no f***s and so do you! She wouldn't study for orgo either because she "can't stop!" She's famous! It's like you're already her! (Plus you also like fluffy cats so it's a win-win!)

6. Count sheep.

Note: this is an act of desperation. Definitely a last resort.


7. Try to meditate and find internal inspiration.

If only you had a best friend like that...

8. Start a rebellion against finals.

You want to change the world, and you're not going to let finals get in the way of that. Create a "save the students" foundation to abolish the institution of finals! Support the underdogs!

9. Do your laundry.

Because even laundry is more fun than finals.

10. Eat a balanced meal.

Convince yourself that doing nothing but eating is better than studying because it gives you energy. Also, it is way more fun. Just keeping priorities in check!

11. Consider becoming an exotic dancer if you fail.

What do you like doing more: applied math or dancing? We all know the answer is obvious. Peace out of the library like a boss because haterz gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

12. Make a new friend... Desperately.

Anything to keep your mind off of studying. Preoccupy yourself with someone else's problems. See? Your finals aren't such a big deal in comparison.

13. Go online shopping, for everything.

Might as well get a head start on the holiday shopping now! Yeah, you got a chemistry test tomorrow but if you order that Santa hat from Amazon in the next 5 hours and 32 minutes it can get to you by Friday!

14. Think about if it is really bad if you fail.

Do you even NEED calculus? Nah...

15. Write an article about procrastination instead of studying for finals.

Sigh. But when you're done with the article, finally begin studying...maybe.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
