15 Things To Do Instead Of Studying For Midterms

Let's all be honest, midterms are the worst (well apart from finals). You've tried to go to the library and study but there are no free tables and every time you study in your room you just end up sleeping. In reality, you know you need to study but why not delude yourself into thinking that you are fine, and totally prepare for your exams, by doing these 15 things instead of studying for your midterm:

1. Clean Your room.

You will definitely study better in a clean environment. At least that is what you tell your mom when she calls and asks how studying is going.

2. Binge TV Shows on Your Netflix.

I don't know about you but I have PLENTY of things on my Watch List what will keep me busy for a few hours.

3. Watch Organizational Videos on YouTube.

Why not pretend you are getting your life together, right?

4. Pintrest.

Spending eight hours of your life planning your dream wedding and designing your future house, which might be unattainable, because you are most likely going to fail that midterm.

5. Text Everyone You Know Asking to Hang Out.

Chances are they are also avoiding their responsibilities, so why not do it together?

6. Learn the Rap to TLC's Waterfalls

Side note: if you have not seen We're The Millers, this scene is by far the best.

7. Do Laundry.

No need to keep wearing the same dirty t-shirt and shorts. At least you'll have a cute outfit to wear when you fail.

8. SLEEP!!!

No explanation needed.

9. Try To Find Love On Tinder.

Well, probably not love just a few gross/awkward pick-up lines that you will definitely be sending to your friends later on.

10. Create a To-Do List!

You'll probably never complete anything on it, but at least you wrote it down so you are aware of all the work you are putting off.

11. Go Online Shopping.

Do you really need that sweater in 7 different colors? Probably not, but buy them anyway.

12. Delete The 1,026 Screenshots and Dumb Photos You Have in Your Camera Roll.

I promise you that you don't need 19 different versions of the same selfie.

13. Take Personally Quizzes.

Of course, it's important for you to know what kind of friend you are based on your clothing preferences!!

14. Plan Your Halloween Costume.

While you're at it plan your Halloween costumes for the next 15 years, and your future husband's costumes, and your future child's costumes and possibly your dog's.

15. Cry.

Because you just realized you wasted all this time when you could have just studied and gotten it over with.


Honestly, midterms are not the end of the world. Just sitting down and starting to study is the hardest part. But on the bright side, if you fail then you always have the final to bring up your grade!?

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.
