10 Things To Do Instead Of Studying For Finals

Finals? End of the semester? *panicked laugh* It hurts to think about how much you need to get done before classes end. Sleep is limited, coffee ends up being a meal, and you just want to be in bed with your dog. But always remember, home is the light at the end of the tunnel. Although stress is on your daily agenda, here are a few things you can do instead of study for those super important finals:

1. Take a nap.

You know this has to be number one. What else would you ever want to do? Besides eat.

2. Eat.

I know it's inevitable. I'll gain a little weight during finals and I just accept it. Because flamin' hot cheetos, ice cream, and chocolate. What else will make me feel better?

3. Make food.

Microwave some mac 'n cheese, bake some cookies, defrost those pizza rolls/bites.

4. Netflix and chill by yourself.

Or invite some friends for a movie. That way you all eat calories and sulk about finals together.

5. Call your mom.

She may not approve of you procrastinating, but I don't think she'll be that upset if you'd rather talk to her, especially if you're stressing! Unless you ask to FaceTime with your dog.

6. Go on a late-night fast food run with your friends.

Food is good, but food at midnight is better.

7. Have a dance party.

Don't be too loud, because you should be considerate to the other miserable people who are actually being good students.

8. Watch Youtube videos.

There's nothing like a break writing that paper to watch puppies being adorably clumsy or the weirdest and newest music videos.

9. Clean your room.

Now is a better time than ever! It's not like you have anything else to do.

10. Go through every social media website you have an account for.

This is just a given. A tab open for each one: Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, and of course Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat on your phone.


Good luck on those finals, guys! I know you'll make it out alive.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
