50 Things To Do Instead Of Studying For Finals
blogspot.com

Its that time of year again....finals are this week and if you're like me, you've waited until 48 hours before to start studying. In a perfect world, we'd all be making flash cards, highlighting the shit out of our books, and staying up till the wee hours of the morning to cram more information into our already overstuffed brains. But, thats not always the case. Most of us are looking for excuses not to study.

Here are some ways to procrastinate studying for those finals.

  1. Clean your bedroom
  2. Rearrange your bedroom
  3. Watch a Christmas movie
  4. Rearrange it again, because you don’t like it
  5. Do some laundry
  6. Go for a walk
  7. Go for a run (if you’re like, athletic)
  8. Shop online
  9. Watch YouTube videos of puppies
  10. Cook a meal
  11. Or in my case, learn to cook
  12. Clean out your closet
  13. Cry about how unprepared you are
  14. Take a nap
  15. Wake up, fall asleep again
  16. Paint your nails
  17. Hate them, start over
  18. Learn a new instrument
  19. Wrap presents
  20. Open your book to study
  21. Shut it
  22. Laugh at your life
  23. Text your mom
  24. Take a shower
  25. Shave your legs
  26. Try a new face mask
  27. Blast some tunes
  28. Dance around the living room
  29. Watch an episode on Netflix
  30. Watch another one
  31. Finish the entire season
  32. Stare out the window
  33. Question your sanity
  34. Question why you’re even in college
  35. Strippers make bank, right?
  36. Research unemployment rate for college dropouts
  37. Plan your imaginary wedding
  38. Eat a pizza
  39. Finish the entire thing
  40. Cry, again
  41. Highlight one page in your textbook, call it good, shut the book (again)
  42. Stalk everyone you know, their cousins, and their cousin’s girlfriends on social media
  43. Write an Odyssey article (wink wink)
  44. Calculate the lowest possible grade you can get on your final, and still pass
  45. Take a new selfie
  46. Take 58 photos until its just right
  47. Delete them all and cry
  48. Take a shot of Jack
  49. Then more, until you pass out.
  50. Wake up, start this list over again

Happy Studying, Mavs

Love,

-A

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
