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.)

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
