11 Jobs That Suddenly Seem More Appealing Than Studying For Finals

It's that time of year again! No, I don't mean Christmas; I mean finals week. You're probably up to your eyeballs in stress and on your 6th cup of coffee of the day. Sick of dealing with the stress of hopelessly trying to save your grades last minute? Had enough of late nights in Club Lib reviewing stuff that you're going to forget as soon as the final is over? Fear not! Here are 11 alternative jobs that you could take up instead of dealing with the stress of finals.

1. Bartending

You get to make fun drinks all night and sleep all day, I mean isn't that what you already do on the weekends? You might as well get paid for it.

2. Professional Tweeting

You once got seven retweets on a #relatable tweet. Do you really need any more qualifications than this?

3. Train Conductor

Every time I go into the city, I always wonder about this job. It seems like an easy alternative to the 10 page term paper I have to write about realism in modern American literature.


4. Becoming YouTube Famous

With technology nowadays, you can make a name for yourself with a kinda good sense of humor, a good camera, and editing skills. It blows my mind that people literally get paid for doing their makeup in front of a camera or just talking about their day. If I did a makeup tutorial during finals week it would probably look something like this:


5. Stripping

Because it's hard to find your dignity when you haven't slept in 48 hours.

6. Delivering Pizza

You get to drive around and give people food. If that's not living for others than I don't know what is.

7. Driving an Uber

Can you drive from point A to point B without getting anyone killed? If so, congrats you're skilled enough to be an Uber driver.

8. Palm Reading

I can see the future: it involves me eating endless amounts of Insomnia cookies and crying in the library.


9. Professional Cuddling

This is an actual thing. Like people actually put ads on Craigslist for cuddle sessions. Sign me up.


10. Dressing up as Santa

You know it's bad when sitting in a gross sweaty costume all day and holding screaming children in your arms is less painful than studying for finals. Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is an A in Econ.

11. Writing Fortune Cookies

No matter how bad things seem, you will make it through this week!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
