73 Things I Would Rather Be Doing Than Actually Studying

This school year is coming to a close. With less than three weeks left, students prepare to present their final portfolios or presentations, they begin diving into and memorizing material regarding their final exams, and last but not least, they begin the ever-so-hated struggle to complete this all while still managing a social life and having fun throughout the final weeks of the semester.

A lot can be done within this amount of time. If you are anything like myself, you have a portfolio due, a website on language and the use of words on a radio station, a final presentation for an online class, a paper to write (one of which you have not even looked at the rubric for), and events to attend so you can fully utilize college before graduating on to the next big thing.

With that being said, there are a number of things I would personally rather be doing than studying for finals, completing my final presentations, and graduating as a whole.

  1. Take a bath.
  2. Take a walk.
  3. Eat a whole tub of ice cream.
  4. Darty.
  5. Shop with the money you wish you had.
  6. Sniff glue.
  7. Be on a bar crawl.
  8. Pick your nose (Alex Vuichard).
  9. Complete the bucket list you started freshman year.
  10. Watch paint dry.
  11. Frolic in a dog park, with dogs.
  12. Tend to a garden.
  13. Take a nap and just pretend you don’t have that final.
  14. Think about all of the ways you could have been a better student this semester.
  15. More day drinking.
  16. Night drinking.
  17. Eat pizza.
  18. Drown the senior year feels in alcohol. Again.
  19. Watch paint dry some more.
  20. Barbecue.
  21. Studying? Who studies?
  22. Be on a house crawl.
  23. Calculate the grade you could get if you skipped the final.
  24. Invent a time machine to bring you back to freshman year so you could do it all over again.
  25. Drink Burnett's without a chaser.
  26. Play ‘Odds' and lose every time.
  27. Stalk an ex on Facebook.
  28. Get bit by a hundred mosquitos.
  29. Learn another language.
  30. Pull a Forrest Gump and run across America to avoid all responsibility.
  31. Run anywhere for that matter to avoid responsibility.
  32. Get a piercing.
  33. Listen to each and every Nickleback song on repeat.
  34. Get a tattoo.
  35. Attend every drinking special the bars.
  36. Lay naked in bed, in the complete dark, surrounded by pizza, binge watching Netflix.
  37. Do a bun run.
  38. Go to the gym.
  39. Streak through campus naked.
  40. Watch the TV show Gigolos on Showtime.
  41. Text your ex.
  42. Learn how to say the ABC's backwards.
  43. Read the dictionary front to back.
  44. Do the blazing wings challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings.
  45. Climb Mount Everest.
  46. Eat a whole plate of nachos to yourself.
  47. Pamper yourself.
  48. Pick at your split ends.
  49. Go for a bike ride.
  50. Google the origin of nougat (Emily Sunter).
  51. Google the origin of pretty much anything other than what your homework requires you to look up.
  52. Bike ride around campus.
  53. Play a game of chess with a bird.
  54. Go on a hunger strike.
  55. Bake a cake.
  56. Hangout in Walmart on Black Friday
  57. Use the hot tubs at The Lodges whether or not you live there.
  58. Explore the buildings on campus you have never been in.
  59. Watch Jimmy Kimmel’s, “I ate my kids Halloween candy” videos.
  60. Watch Jimmy Kimmel’s videos on when celebrities read mean tweets about themselves.
  61. Beer bong a whole thirty rack of Keystone.
  62. Snuggle with a room full of puppies.
  63. Hula-hoop on your grass to EDM.
  64. Pet a dog.
  65. Eat a whole bag of black licorice.
  66. Devour an ice cream sundae.
  67. Get a shot at the doctor.
  68. Get a shot at the bar.
  69. Do the challenge where you have to drink a whole galloon of milk in a certain amount of time. Either way, it usually ends up with someone puking.
  70. Sit in a doctor’s waiting room with a dead phone.
  71. Do my roommates' dishes for a whole week.
  72. Pretty much anything else.
  73. Come up with another list of things to do rather than study.

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.

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.
