Everyone knows that finals week is a stressful time. When one is sitting in the library trying to study, most people tend to get distracted. Instead of trying so hard not to get distracted, we should just accept the fact that distractions are going to happen, and we need to welcome the needed brain break. Here is a list of the best distractions one can do instead of studying for finals. 

1. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Repeat.

This is easily one of the most common ways to get distracted. By making sure you are up to date on what all of your friends are up to makes you feel much more in the loop. Once you check all three, you need to check all three again because you never know what new event just happened. 

2. Pinterest.

This is one of the most amazing time wasters because the variety of things to look at is endless. So far I have designed my future wedding, what gifts to give my little, and decided where I want to travel when I get super rich. Pinterest is amazing because you could look on there for hours and NEVER EVER GET BORED. 

3. Buzzfeed Quizzes.

This was my distraction of choice last night. I discovered my ideal date is funny, I am Aubrey from Pitch Perfect, I would be Chief of Staff on the show Scandal, I am a Phoenix from Harry Potter, and my classic Hollywood soulmate is James Dean. After taking these quizzes, I feel so much more aware of who I am as a person. Plus, they are fun. 

4. Online Shopping.

The opportunities for future purchases are endless. With Christmas coming up, you need to be thinking about the perfect gift. If you are like me, your credit card information is saved to your computer so you do not even have to have it with you. It makes spending money so easy and fun. 

5. Read and share posts on the Odyssey.

Obviously I recommend you read my lovely posts which you can find if you click on my name below, or read one of my fellow Ball State writers' posts. They are all enjoyable and discuss a variety of fun information.
