11 Ways You Can Waste Your Time Instead Of Studying For Midterms
Jazmin Quaynor

Don't get me wrong. I'm going to study for my midterms. I have to. I provide myself in doing well in my classes. Let's be real though. There's a million things I'd rather be doing than sitting in front of my textbooks and stressing out.

1. Watch House Hunters

Though I'm no where near the point of buying a house, I can still window house shop. Plus, watching couples fight over whether they want a modern or Victorian home.

2. Pet a million corgis

...Or any animal in general. I just have an obsession with corgis, so they were just a good general animal.

3. Go to the gym

I'm not a big gym fan, but I'd rather run four miles on a treadmill than sweat over my textbooks.

4. Play The Sims

At least, my sims self doesn't have to study to start her career. Her dream career is just a call a way and I'm jealous of that.

5. Go Pin Crazy

Nothing is better than a killing an hour or two pinning random things on Pinterest. Will I ever actually do all these pins? No, but they are there if I need them.

6. Attempt Make-up Tutorials

I am no good at make-up, but I'll try if it gets me out of studying. I'll probably end up looking like Pennywise but oh well.

7. Make To-do Lists

I'm the queen of making lists. My reminders on my phone are all just lists and lists of stuff I need to do or want to do. Once I finish a list, I make a brand new list.

8. Buzzfeed Quizzes

I can get lost in a sea of Buzzfeed quizzes. Do I really need to know what Hogwarts house my cat belongs to? Yes, I do. I need to know if we are matching. (She's a hufflepuff, by the way.) I'm a big fan of the new ones that ask you if you can plan something and stay in budget.

9. Do Laundry

Laundry beats studying for midterms. That's all I need to say.

10. Eat Good Food

Most people would just agree that food is better than studying.

11. Read

What I'd give to have some time to read for my own pleasure? I'm done with articles and textbooks. I want adventure, strong characters, and humor.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
