The 6 Worst Studying Tips

It is that time of year again! Classes are coming to an end and all the work you have been putting off is coming in real hot. When you first get your syllabus and realize that all the big things are not do until the last week of classes you figure you'll have all the time in the world to get to it later but its later now and do you have time? Of course not.


1.) Go out every night of the week

Honestly its been a hard semester and you deserve some time off! So skip out on club library this last week and just go out and have a ball.

2.) Just eat all the junk food

We've heard all our lives that fruit and vegetables help our brains and scientifically help us do better but lets put it to the test. All the food in the snack drawer just pull out and eat that for dinner maybe you'll see if you do better or worse on your exams.

3. Hide from your notes

Opening your notebooks and going back over all your notes does not seem like fun, so instead let's just play a little game of hide and seek and hide your books and don't go back to look for them.

4. FaceTime with your friends from home.

You're going to see all your long lost best friends from home in one week but why wait? Spend all day and night FaceTiming with them instead of getting any work done because staring at each other and talking about nothing seems better than actually studying for those tests called finals.

5. Stay up all night.

Nap all day and stay up all night? Let's do it. Netflix is coming out with some good new movies and shows so why not choose that over sleep then nap when you should be in class.

6.) Go to the library and talk.

Everyones in the library trying to get their last minute work done and you want to feel like your getting work done too, so go hang out in the library. Rather than studying though sit there and talk to your friends and distract everyone else while you're at it.

By the way, don't do any of these things during finals week, but you could just do the exact opposite and good luck on finals!

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.

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.
