5 Ways To Succesfully Avoid Studying For Your Finals
Huffington Post

During the time of the week before finals, here I am procrastinating every single thing I have to do doing anything but what I should be doing. Here are the top 5 things I much rather do than sit and study for finals:

1. Watch Netflix

Let’s be honest here, we all know you much rather be laying in bed binge watching the series you’ve been watching, start a new movie, or just find something new to watch. Whatever it is that you choose to watch, or are watching, it is simply just better than studying for finals.

2. Hangout with your friends

You know you rather be doing some random things with your friends than sitting in the library with books upon books and study guides. You rather be going for random target runs, going to get coffee from Starbucks, or even just going to Panera Bread for a nice lunch. You might even just want to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing with your friends, but anything is honestly better than studying for finals.

3. Shopping

Driving to the mall and walking around window shopping or going into the stores and finding something new to buy is simply just a stress reliever. Online shopping is just a simple addiction that probably every girl has and is even more fun because you get to lay in bed and not even have to drive anywhere. However you shop, which ever way you choose, it is just simply better than studying for finals.

4. Hangout with your dog

Being with that little pup, or the big dog, always just puts a smile on your face. Whether you’re in the backyard throwing around a ball, going around the block for a walk, or just laying in bed with the dog, it is just simply so much better than studying for finals.

5. Writing this article

I’ve been sitting in the library for hours upon hours studying and have distracted myself in more ways than I can remember. Writing this article was more fun than finishing up the paper that I have due or making a study guide for one of the many finals I have next week.

Overall, you know there’s so many other things that you much rather be doing than studying for finals. The end is in sites, almost hear, and when it’s all over, Christmas is here. Within a week they’ll all be over and there will be no more stress.

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.
