12 Things College Students Do Instead Of Studying

Every college student wants to be good at time management. Wanna know secret? We never are and most likely never will be. (Expect my friend Brain who is literally like a dad and plans everything.) We all want to finish our homework right when we get it, but in reality it turns into us doing it the night before or finishing it an hour before it's due. Here are 12 things us college students do instead of studying.

1. We take naps


And I don't mean that 27 minute cat nap that is suggested, I mean the three hour nap that you wake up from and you're like, "What year is it?" or your roommate says, "Oh you are alive."

2. We watch Netflix


Not one episode of the "The Office" Or "Parks and Rec," I mean eight episodes of "The Office" and "Parks and Rec." And then eight more episodes of "Bobs Burgers" because why not.

3. We over eat

This gif represents what we look like when someone calls us out for going up for thirds even though we all know we need it or actually want it.

4. We go out

And by go out I mean we wait for the Krispy Kreme hot light to come on for our free doughnut or drive around until one of us finds a coupon we can use somewhere because we are poor.

5. We walk around our dorms hoping to make new friends

Sometimes you just gotta walk around knocking on people's open doors asking if anyone wants to play Cards Against Humanity, even though you all should be doing something way more productive than picking a white card to go with the black card that says, "The class field trip was completely ruined by _____."

6. We creep on our friend's social media accounts

This can either mean your friend, your best friend, that super cute boy in your dorm, your campus crush, that girl on your floor you hate, your ex, your ex's new boo thang or your mom. Any really works.

7. We go to sporting events you know you do not have time for

Sometimes we don't even pay attention to the game, rather we sit with our fellow student athletes and complain about how we should be studying or watching the game.

8. We cry

When one college student starts to cry we all start to cry. It's this uncontrollable chain reaction of sadness. Once we start crying about the movie, our crying leads to more crying about our lives. (And yes even dudes cry.)

9. We watch crazy amounts of dog videos

Please try and tell me that watching dog videos is not important. I dare you.

10. We make playlist for everything

We have a playlist for showering, driving, walking from classes, eating, TGIF, getting ready for any event that needs hype music, "studying" music, playlist for making playlists and my fav: stress free music.

11. We work out for too long


We might have finished our work out for day, but once that cute lax boy walks into the gym, you already know we are coming up with ten more work outs to do and are about to go 12,542 times harder than before.

12. We read Odyssey posts


Gotcha. Hahah.

Congrats, you can now go on and look for more things you can do other than study.

(I do study mom, I promise.)

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.

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.

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.
