The Ultimate Guide to Procrastination During Finals Week

The dreaded finals week is upon us! Every college student knows that this is 100% the worst time of the school year and that we will do just about anything to avoid the inevitable hours of stuDYING. Although some schools are already done with finals, mine are just beginning, so I put together a list of all of my favorite ways to procrastinate! It's a fool proof plan that guarantees you will be able to put off all that work you have to do until the very last minute. Good luck!


Step One: Make sure to watch every YouTube video that looks even remotely interesting.


Step Two: Even if you're not really hungry, snack all the time.


Step Three: Take some time to lay on your bed doing nothing because you deserve a rest.


Step Four: Look through your planner at all the work you have to do.


Step Five: Go to all of the end of the year shows on campus. (There will be a lot.)


Step Six: Open the word document for the paper you should be writing, stare at it for a bit, read what you have, and then close it.


Step Seven: Clean and redecorate your room, even though you'll be moving out in a week.


Step Eight: Take a relaxing walk around campus or into town for no particular reason.


Step Nine: FaceTime or call each member of your family back home just to say hi and to see your dog.


Step Ten: Find a new show to binge-watch on Netflix as a reward for finishing your year of college (almost).


Step Eleven: Go to the dining hall for your second lunch of the day.


Step Twelve: Write down everything you have to do and their due dates on multiple calendars.


Step Thirteen: Browse through social media for a while, and when there's nothing new going on in your feeds, find some random accounts to stalk all the way back to the beginning.


Step Fourteen: Write an Odyssey article.


Step Fifteen: Complain to anyone who will listen about how much work you have to do.



Good luck on your finals, everyone! Have fun procrastinating!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
