For those of us nearing the end of our college careers, senior thesis is the tragic creature lurking in the dark. Years of build up and months of preparation all lead to an anxiety-filled final semester. If you're like me, you're looking for any way out of this scary situation. Unfortunately for me, my thesis was due last week and I had no way out of enduring the stress, but the same doesn't have to go for you. This is a list of all of the ways that I thought about plausibly ignoring thesis. Hopefully it helps!

1. Create a meaningless list.

You can make to-do lists of things (that you will probably never complete), you can make a bucket list, you can make a list of things that you'd rather be doing than thesis. Hell, you can make a list about possible lists that you'd like you write. By the end of it, you'll have a cool stack of lists that you'll never go through again.

2. Clean your room.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather do anything than that (obviously except for thesis). As a bonus, you get to organize all of things you need for thesis and feel productive for a second. Then you get to stare at them from your bed every night.

3. Binge watch Netflix.

As a cool sideshow, you can also watch your future go down the drain.

4. Sleep.

Instead of watching your future go down the drain, you can dream of future when thesis doesn't exist and you are happy and free. Unfortunately, there is the pesky business of waking up to reality, which may cause some problems.

5. Cry.

There's nothing that can't be helped by a good ole cry session. Except, maybe, your thesis. But at least you'll feel better for a second.

6. Change your major.

I know that, in this final stretch, you're probably wondering why you ever chose that pesky major to begin with. If you choose this route, you get to wait another few years before having to deal with thesis again!

7. Go backpacking across the world.

Lucky for you, this will probably take a very long time, allowing you to also avoid your shame and the shame of your family. Unluckily, you'll probably go broke in about two weeks and have to return home, adding on a new type of shame.

8. Become a rockstar.

Music is probably everyone's passion, so go pursue it! You might even get to end up as the tambourine player in a band opening for a Jonas Brothers tribute band.

9. Become a movie actor.

If music isn't your thing, acting just might be. Personally, I'd go for starring in a Lifetime original movie. It doesn't get much better than that.

10. Go for a Guinness World Record.

I think a solid option is filling the world's largest bucket of tears.

11. Become a queen.

Thesis only affects mere peasants, don't fall into that trap. You'd have to instead run a country, but at least you'd get to wear a crown.

Good luck in your thesis avoiding activities!
