5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study For Finals

Finals suck but staring mindlessly at a Netflix series doesn't.

5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study For Finals

It's Finals Time! Break is less than two weeks away and that is all that is on any college kid's mind. Well, that, and the fact that there are up to 5 finals standing in the way of freedom. Trust me, I know that no one likes to study for their finals and I know that seeing family, friends, celebrations, and pets are all way more enticing than that French final you have to get at least a B on. We are all there with you and can definitely feel your pain. Everyone dreams that our professor will magically cancel our final or give us all A's, but we know that won't happen. That is why I made a list of 5 things I would rather do than study for finals because we can all wish right?

1. SLEEP

I am positive that a 24 hour nap is something I would much rather do than study for my Economics final. I don't care about the day I miss out on or any activities. A nice long long nap is all I am asking for.

2. Binge-Watching Netflix

No, I don't want to go to the library for 8 hours and study. I just want to sit in my bed all day and binge watch Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girl. I would rather watch Chuck and Blair break up for the 6th time than learn about another element on the periodic table.

3. Online Shop

$125.59 + FREE SHIPPING? Sign me up!! I would rather go broke at this moment right now than go to that study group. Yeah, yeah grades are good for me to make a lot of money in the future but WHATEVER, did you not see the FREE SHIPPING?!

4. Eating My Weight In Junk Food

Goldfish, Pretzels, Pizza, Cookies, Ice Cream, and 10 pounds of popcorn. Yeah, I think that gaining the Freshman 15 in one Finals week is way better than researching the reasons why global warming is affecting the glaciers. Who needs science when you have junk food to explain anatomy to you?

5. Watching Cute Animal Videos Until I Adopt a Cat That I Can't Afford

You cannot be honest and say that you don't stop what you are doing when you see a puppy chasing it's own tail or kittens fitting into a tiny bowl video. That is just un-American. Spending hours on hours sharing and replaying these adorably cute videos until you find no recollection of running to the nearest shelter to buy a cat you can't afford is way better than attending that tutoring session with your professor, duh.

In all seriousness Finals just plain suck. I would rather do any of these things than actually study. But, since we live in a world that requires you to take them and pass college in order to be successful at most things in life I guess we won't be spending our time online shopping or sleeping. I hope everyone does well on their finals and heads to the library after reading this because those cute animal videos are coming for you.

AI music threatens creativity

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
