Whether you’re sitting in the library acting productive or not even giving that much effort and are currently in your bed, here’s 10 super easy ways to completely avoid studying. Some of them might be so boring they’ll make you want to study.

1. Listen to old rap songs. They'll get you hype (maybe even hype enough to motivate you).

Seriously, there’s nothing like “Hollaback Girl” or “Buy U A Drank” to get your mind off the impending doom of your upcoming exams.

2. People watch.

It’ll actually make your time in the library “productive." You can guess if the boy in the corner is going to wake up anytime soon or if that girl is going to finish her coffee before midnight.

3. Calculate how low of a grade you can get on each and every final while still passing the class.

At least you’re doing math, right?

4. Try all of the filters on Snapchat.

See which one you look the ugliest in and put yourself on blast. Your boredom should at least entertain someone.

5. Take absolutely every single Buzzfeed quiz you can find.

Figuring out what kind of food you are or what your hair color says about who you're going to marry is very important.

6. Download totally unnecessary and pointless games on your phone and get addicted to them.

There's nothing quite like starting a game of Candy Crush and then realizing you've been playing -- and losing -- for 2 hours.

7. Speaking of addiction, start a new Netflix series.

It's so easy to get hooked on a new show and right before finals is the perfect time. Watch for so long that the message asking if you're still there comes up. At least you're dedicated to something!

8. Eat all the food you can find.

It takes away from your boredom and you need to stock up for the terribly long amount of time you have to sit in the exam room. It's justified... like bears stocking up for the winter.

9. Look up the possibilities of jobs you can get without a college degree.

If you've made it this far and are still procrastinating, you might want to just accept defeat and check what you can do if you happen to actually fail.

10. Twiddle your thumbs.

Literally, just do it -- anything is better than just sitting there.


And of course, there are always thousands of videos of dogs or babies laughing just out there waiting to be watched. You'll get around to studying eventually... hopefully.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
