Listening to an old white guy, no matter how sweet he may be, ramble about topics I don't really care about isn't exactly my idea of a grand ole time.

Unfortunately, I do have to go to class or my grade will suffer simply due to the cursed attendance sheet.

But then I got an idea. An awful idea. I had a wonderful, awful idea: I should spend all my money on snacks. Snacks make everything better, even boring lectures.

It got me thinking, what else can I do to make this time block better?

1. Snacks.

Being hangry during class is asking for a freaking meltdown no child in their terrible twos could even compete with. But for the love of all good things, nothing odorous or crunchy.

2. Coffee.

I am a true caffeine addict and I am not afraid to say it. Perks me right up and makes me happy. It can do the same for you.

3. Long bathroom breaks.

This might be tied in with coffee consumption if you're not careful. In long classes, it's nice to take your sweet time walking to the bathroom. It's refreshing, really.

4. Work on other homework.

This sounds terrible but hear me out. At least this way it doesn't feel like a total waste of time.

5. More snacks.

Keeps ya fat and happy.

6. Listen to music with only one earphone.

I get it. Some people have a hard time focusing without music. If this would make your class easier, go for it.

7. Silently judge everyone's commentary.

Whoa, hold your judgment back for a second, Nancy. You have to really pay attention to what everyone is saying in order to fairly judge them. So really, you are doing yourself a favor by tuning in.

8. Make a buddy.

Do not talk to the buddy. That would be incredibly rude and annoying. Go home if you are going to distract others! However, sitting next to said buddy brings comfort that you are not in this alone.

9. Watch Netflix with subtitles on.

This one seems a little ridiculous to me. Like, at this point just go home, bro. But, if you must...

10. Did I mention snacks?

Food makes everything better and this is why America is obese.

11. Let your mind wander.

Sometimes the most entertaining moments in life are when we are deep in thought about really stupid, unnecessary information.

Honestly, that is all I got. Just remember: When in doubt — snacks.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
