What To Do When You Procrastinate During Finals Week
Youtube

Finals week-cue the screams and tears of college students around the world. Finals week is all the stress throughout a semester piled into one week. This week consists of sleepless nights, a lot of caffeine, stress, books everywhere, trying to remember what your professor said in that lecture you zoned out during, and my personal favorite, procrastinating everything you need to do. Don’t act like you don’t do it. We all know you’re pulling an all nighter because you just didn’t want to study before. Well, instead of giving you the reasons why you shouldn’t procrastinate, here are the best things to while you’re procrastinating.

Take Buzzfeed Quizzes

There’s nothing more important than finding out what Disney Princess you are based on your zodiac sign, right? Buzzed quizzes are the black hole of the Internet.Once you fall in, it’s almost impossible to get back out.

Go on YouTube

Just go on YouTube, and click on whatever pops up on your homepage. Then if you keep on clicking, you’ll just be sitting there wondering how you went from watching an Ariana Grande music video to a cat jumping into a closed window, instead of studying for your final the next day.

Sing Karaoke

YouTube has a karaoke version of almost any song you can think of. Just choose one and sing your heart out as if your life depended on it. I tend to go for musicals and Disney but that’s just me.

Have a Dance Party

Just blast music and go crazy. Lately my friend Soby and I have been doing this with Christmas music when we should be working on the four papers we have to write.

Play Tetris

I have no idea why, but Tetris is extremely addicting. I’ve been playing non stop lately. My roommate thinks I need an intervention it’s gotten so bad. Trust me, it’s an amazing distraction.

Start a new show on Netflix

I wrote an article on a bunch of shows you can binge watch on Netflix a while back, recently I’ve been obsessed with Gilmore Girls. Starting a new show is the ULTIMATE way to avoid all responsibility.

Watch a movie

Pretty simple, but if you think of it, that’s over an hour of wasted time!

Go on Social Media

Just keep scrolling through Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, and time will fly by.

Eat

Also pretty simple, but i know many people who like eating when they’re stressed, and it may be nice for your friends to see you during finals week to make sure everyone is still alive, because lets face it, you never know.

Bother Your Roommate

This one is my personal favorite. Chances are, you’re both procrastinating, so I suggest annoying your roommate. Throw things, make strange noises, just be as annoying as possible. You entertain yourself, and get to see their reaction to you just being an idiot. I love you Chrissy, I swear.

If all else fails, you can always sleep too.

Good luck on your finals!

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.

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.
