10 Things to do Instead of Study for Finals

Exam week is stressful for everyone and studying can be a real pain. So if you don't feel like studying and stressing out for two weeks, here's a list of things to do instead of study—so you only have to stress out the night before your exam.


Watch Sunday night football.

Or watch basketball or any sport that you can successfully convince yourself you need to watch the end of before you can even think about studying.

Get a coffee from Starbucks.

Honestly, who can study without caffeine?

Go get food.

Well, an empty stomach isn’t going to keep you focused. Perhaps you should go out and eat at a restaurant with slow service? And who doesn't love a good food break?

Make a study playlist.

You can’t possibly be expected to study without a perfect compilation of sound coming through your headphones.

Organize how you’re going to study.

Unfortunately, organizing all your tests and assignments in your planner doesn’t count as studying.

Scroll through Facebook.

This is like the never-ending page of distraction. You’ll never run out of animal videos to watch.

Try to reserve a study room at the library.

We all know this is a waste of time because the library rooms are booked for exam week like a month in advance.

Try and convince your friends to go to the library with you.

Because no one likes to study alone.

People watch at the library.

With a packed library, there is sure to be some interesting behavior to distract you from your priorities.

Take a nap.

A well-rested mind is important when you’re trying to cram in all that information you haven’t been studying.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
