31 Ways To Make A 9-Question Quiz Take 220 Minutes
Jill Frye / Facebook

Regardless of how well you know the material, timed quizzes are always stressful and annoying. You can give me half an hour to take a five-question quiz that should only take two minutes, and I'll still hate it. Luckily, some professors know what's up and give us unlimited time. Here's how you can cause a nine-question, multiple choice quiz to take 220 minutes.

1. Watch "Arrested Development"

Clearly thinking about the answers while you watch Netflix will help.

2. Go get some snacks

3. Watch SNL skits

4. Watch Vine compilations

5. Take a spontaneous trip to Pulley

6. Ice cream break!

True commitment is when you eat the entire pint by yourself.

7. BuzzFeed quizzes

8. Shop online

9. Read the entire chapter twice *after* opening the quiz

10. Snack break part 3?

11. Browse workouts you'll never actually do on Pinterest

Can I just have the dogs, please?

12. Browse recipes you'll never make while you're at it

13. Plan the next big squad adventure

14. Build a pillow and blanket fort

Who cares if we're adults? Quality fort building knows no age.

15. Go on a hug tour and visit your friends

16. Make a cup of coffee or two

17. Listen to Seven Meter Sun rehearse

Listening to them is never not a good idea, though. Did anyone else go see them at Art After Dark?

18. Look at Tofu the Corgi on Instagram

19. Plan out the rest of your college career

Then you think about the incoming freshmen and all the time they'll have to make fun memories while you're nearing graduation and leaving your college town.

20. Chipotle is always a good idea

21. Take a walk around campus

22. Complete an escape room

23. Reorganize your photo display

24. Have a jam session in your room

25. Make a lit new Spotify playlist

Only the greatest music will be acceptable.

26. Attempt to learn a new language

27. Learn the Avatar theme in ASL

Yes, my friends and I are a bunch of nerds who are learning this.

28. Play a few rounds of Mario Kart

29. Pretend to adult and fix your LinkedIn

30. Go watch "Black Panther" in theaters

31. Do literally anything that is unrelated to the quiz


There are endless ways to procrastinate, but sometimes you just don't know where to start. I manage to find myself procrastinating on homework with work from other classes that is nowhere near due, but I also find myself at Starbucks pretty frequently. Nothing motivates better than a quality latte!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
