The third week of classes is in full-swing, midterms are beginning, and most motivation has dwindled away. The loss of motivation has come with increasing procrastination, and as a result, I have created a list of 50 things I would rather do than study.

1. Ride my horse

2. Binge-watch Netflix

When "just one more episode" turns into "oops, I just watched an entire season..."

3. Browse Facebook

4. Drink coffee

(Even though 99% the time I'm studying, I'm also drinking coffee)


5. Eat food

No shame.

6. Exercise

Willingness to exercise... that says a lot about procrastinating.

7. Like posts on Instagram

8. Groom my horse

9. Clean

10. Scroll through Twitter

11. Shop

"I definitely need a new pair of shoes!"

12. Bake cookies

Stressed spelled backwards is desserts.

13. Eat said cookies

14. Color

It's relaxing... until you color out of the lines.

15. Pet dogs

16. Stub my toe

17. Take a nap

Avoiding responsibilities at its finest.


18. Teach my roommate's fish tricks

19. Listen to music

20. Text friends

Bonus points if they're sitting in the same room.

21. Play in snow

22. Go to a concert

23. Organize my desk/closet

24. Read a book

Duh, not a textbook.

25. Do laundry

26. Get caught in a rain storm without an umbrella

27. Untangle Christmas lights

28. Smell candles

29. Have a Girls' Night Out

30. Wash dishes

31. Curl my hair

32. Sit in Starbucks pretending to be busy

33. Be ambushed by puppies

34. Step on a Lego

35. Paint my nails

36. Bullet Journal/Organize my Planner

This will give the allusion that I have my life together.


37. Take BuzzFeed quizzes

"I wonder what Disney princess I am..."

38. Go to the movies

39. Organize my Spotify playlists

40. Daydream about my future wedding on Pinterest

41. Take a million pictures of my horse/dog

42. Buy a hedgehog

43. Slip on ice

44. Watch old Vines

45. Sit in front of a fireplace with a blanket and hot chocolate

46. Make DIY crafts

Thank you, Pinterest.

47. Go grocery shopping

48. Walk around Target and buy unnecessary items (sorry, wallet)

49. Lay/nap in a hammock

50. Make a list of 50 things I'd rather do than study

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
