If you, like me, find yourself alone in your dorm room for Spring Break, you’re most likely pretty bored right now. Use this comprehensive list to help creatively stave off loneliness.

1. Indiscriminately eat everything in the fridge.


Now is the time to make all the ungodly concoctions your roommates would never approve of. I just ate Dijon mustard on some lunch meat bought with the intention of making a masturbatory toy for a friend. Don’t shame my college experience.


2. Contemplate your life decisions for three hours on the toilet.

Meditation is the key to a happy life and healthy bowels. First plan of action: stop eating lunch meat with Dijon mustard.


3. Edit old photos for Instagram


VSCOcam six weeks worth of future #tbt’s. (Can and should be done in tandem with #2.)


4. Stalk your classmates on Facebook.


Collect conversations starters for after Spring Break. How was Aruba? So sorry your dog died. (Also complete with #2.)

5. Befriend your local pigeons.


Take a walk to a nearby park to get to know your neighbors. They’re highly misunderstood.


6. Befriend another city’s pigeons.


I hear it’s best to travel alone if you want to meet the locals.


7. Erratically commit to a workout plan promising to give you something in less than 30 days.

Define your abs! Lift your butt! OK, can I do this in one day instead?

8. Plan on catching up on homework.


The key to this is not actually doing anything.


9. Make a very personal and unhelpful list to be posted online for your own amusement.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


10. Wave to people on the street outside your window.

Take a shot every time someone waves back for extra Spring Break points.

11. Make a quasi-gourmet meal at 3 a.m.


Aim for something involving roux or mirepoix. The Frencher, the better. Plate appropriately.


12. Shower to a whole album.


I will be trying this tonight. Top picks: “Oops!... I Did It Again” and “Jason Derulo” with bonus tracks. Alternatively, try just replaying “Ridin’ Solo” for an hour. Jason gets it.

Disclaimer: This is bad for the planet. But aren’t we already kind of screwed anyway?


13. Tag your friends in cute dog videos on Facebook.

Give in to the urge to be one of those people.


14. Catch up on all the world news you missed during midterms.

Once you’re adequately sad, switch tabs and watch OG "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Start with that episode Khloe and Kourtney hang out with the homeless guy they find outside Dash. I wonder how Shorty’s doing these days.


15. Lay in bed with a book you’re trying to read until you fall asleep.

Good for all hours of the day.



16. Think of all the fun things you can tell your friends you did over the break.

And then maybe do some of those things.


You're welcome.
(Happy Spring Break, everyone!)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
