17 Things To Do Instead Of Studying For Finals

Finals suck. There's no other way to put it. And that minute when you finally tell yourself you need to start studying, you realize that there are so many others things you could be doing with your time, so obviously you need to check off that long list before pulling out your books and getting to business.

Even if nothing comes to mind, but the thought of having to actually face the fact that you need to study makes you want to die a little inside, here are some things you can do that are so much more productive than that bio test you have in two days.

1. Start a new TV show.

2. Watch every single music video from Justin Bieber's new album.

3. Go to the gym for the first time this semester.

4. Look up DIY arts and crafts on Pinterest and try all of them.

5. Taste test every kind of peanut butter there is at the grocery store. Then rank each one in a number of categories.

6. Look up "cats" on YouTube. You'll be occupied for hours.

7. Start your holiday shopping. Nothing like a little retail therapy.

8. Unpack from Thanksgiving Break. We all know you haven't done that yet.

9. Buy every self-tanning lotion at CVS and see which one makes you look like you just came back from the Islands but without looking too orange. Ya feel?

10. FaceTime every single high school friend, even ones you haven't talked to since graduation. Hey, no time like the present, right?

11. Unfollow anyone who hasn't liked an Instagram of yours in a month.

12. Try out today's new Snapchat filters and proceed to send videos of yourself to all your friends.

13. When that runs out, Snapchat photos of you looking like your studying so that others think you're smart.

14. BuzzFeed quizzes. Yes.

15. Look at food porn on Insta.

16. Go for a run, for like an hour, and then lay on the floor for an hour. Recovery is key.

17. Text all your friends to see if they're studying because if they aren't you'll feel 10 times better about yourself.

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.

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.
