1. You sleep...a lot

Finals just ended and now you are home. What is the most logical thing to do at this point? Sleep. Sleep until you think you can’t sleep anymore and then prove yourself wrong.

2. You binge watch that Netflix show you started before finals.

That show that pre-finals you couldn’t stop watching? Well now you have the time, so what else are you going to do except watch it... for the whole day.

3. You aimlessly wander around.

You walk up the stairs, sit down and look at your phone. You walk down the stairs, sit down look at your phone. You walk to the kitchen and remember you aren’t hungry. You walk to the nearest chair and sit down. Maybe you even miss the chair and end up sitting on the floor, but that’s OK too.

4. You end up applying for jobs.

Why not spend this time in search for monetary gain over the summer? You might even have better chances because of others not being home yet. You go online and start searching for anything and everything. However, all that filling out spaces makes you tired, so you sleep for a bit.

5. You text your friends.

You message your friends. You ask them excessively when they will return. They remind you they have barely started finals week and that they need to be studying. In an attempt to gain human contact through this, you tell them to teach you what they are studying.

6. You sleep some more.

All that learning made you tired. You drift back into sleep and make your parents wonder if you are actually hibernating.

7. You start to play the in-app purchase games.

You have the time on your hands to wait those two hours to get more energy to use in those apps, so why not? Now you are playing whichever game was recommended to you or you saw in a commercial on TV. Whichever comes first.

8. You do laundry you had put off.

Well, now you have two hours to waste before you get energy in your game. What is a person to do? How about that massive amount of laundry that should have been cleaned before you left school?

9. You text your friends again.

The virtual humans in your game are no longer enough. You text your friends again. Maybe this time they will be done finals. Right?

10. You give up and go into hibernation.

The boredom has overpowered you. Nothing is happening, so why should you be conscious? You decide to fulfill your parents' suspicions and hibernate until you are awoken by your friends' glorious return.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
