Procrastination at its finest

17 Things You'd Rather Do Than Look at Your Final Grade

The stress of finals and Hell week is finally behind us… or is it? While actual testing may be over the stress of final grades will be sure to carry on into the beloved Winter Break. For those of us who didn’t do so well on our finals, we’d rather not look at that final grade. Although, we know the time will come when Mom and Dad won’t quit asking how we did, and we’ll be forced to look. So, to procrastinate (because that’s what students do best!) looking at final grades here are 17 things to do!

You’re Welcome!

1. Scroll through Ben and Jerry’s Flavors to see which one you’re going to drown your sorrows in

2. Watch Trainwreck and pretend you’re Amy Schumer

3. Bang your head against the wall repeatedly so you can blame your failures on a severe concussion

4. Get belligerently drunk off of Eggnog to forget you even took finals

5. Go to Starbucks and read the New York Times as if you’re someone who actually understands what’s going on

6. Listen to your senile Great Aunt Kate tell the same story over and over again

7. Answer questions from obtrusive relatives like, Do you have a boyfriend? How’s school going? What are you going to do with that degree?

8. Search for future penthouse suites over looking Central Park, because “you’re going to get you’re act together next semester”

9. Bake cookies… like dozens and dozens of cookies

10. Go to church and pray for your final grades, although at this point it’s probably out of God’s hands too.

11. Listen to the entire Hamilton Soundtrack for 4 hours straight

12. Go through your Facebook album $ummer 2010<3333 from middle school

13. Better yet, go through old Facebook messages. That’s sure to get you in a good mood… or make you cringe.

14. Get back together with your psycho ex-boyfrend because nothing says giant mistake like him!

15. Watch Biden and Obama friendship videos with the pint of Ben and Jerry’s flavor you picked

16. Take an online course in mandarin Chinese- maybe this course you can pass?

17. Go golfing and start knitting a sweater- you’re going into retirement before you even work

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
