At least procrastinate diligently.

10 Things We'd All Rather Do Instead Of Studying For Midterms
Nicola Sap De Mitri

Some of us are already done with midterms. Most have it in the coming days. For me, my first one is exactly one week from now. This is the time when everything, and I mean everything, seems exciting. I made a list the 10 things we'd, all the procrastinators in us, would rather do than prepare for midterms.

1. Laundry!!

I love the smell of fresh laundry and since you have to do it anyways, it’s better to do it before you study.

2. Plan out the rest of your week, month, year, in hourly intervals.

By doing this, you know how to spend every exact hour until your exam (and finals!).

3. Do a thorough clean of the room (bathroom, kitchen, closet, and drawers).

You roommates/suite-mates will be so happy to return to the room with vacuumed floors, scrubbed bathtubs and sinks, and neatly organized kitchen utensils.

4. Start a brand new TV show (or Korean drama).

Even better if it is already completed or at least 5 seasons into it. Then, you don't have to waste time wondering which TV show to watch next.

5. Go to the gym.

To counter the junk food and late night snacks you will be eating in the coming week, start going to the gym and start the summer body early.

6. Read through messages (FB chats, What's App, texts) with old friends, exes, and anyone else.

If you haven’t done this already, trust me when I say you will be too embarrassed by your old self to do anything for the present self.

7. Go grocery shopping for essentials.

The word essential says it all. Buy what it takes for you to survive this week.

8. Take a long walk to Times Square and beyond.

It takes around 2 hours to walk to Times Square and back, if you aren't distracted. I don’t know why anyone would put themselves to that, but I did. It wasn’t that bad tbh.

9. Make a Pinterest for possible Halloween costumes.

The week after midterms is Halloween, so better prepare in advance.

10. Walk through every floor of Bobst.

It’s a great study break and you get to meet a lot of new people.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
