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!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
