1. Take BuzzFeed quizzes.

What cookie are you based on your mom’s brother’s girlfriend’s interior design style.

2. Lay on your floor and contemplate life.

How does time work?

3. Watch a dog reunite with owner videos on YouTube

4. Go online shopping.

Start with practical things like clothes and fall slowly into the rabbit hole, ending up purchasing an Australian flag.

5. Take a nap.

6. Look up how to do really simple things like “how to make toast” or “how to put on a pillowcase” just to see what kind of tutorials are out there.

7. Do a facemask. Or two. Or ten.

8. Google Earth your house. Show it to everyone around you. Ask to see their house.

10. Go on Facebook and check in on all of your good friends that you haven’t spoken to in nine months.

11. Log some hours on Candy Crush.

13. Plan your Halloween costumes for the next five years.

14. Take a shower. Put on a concert in the shower.

15. Build a fort. Decide you don’t like it and tear it down only to rebuild it. Make blueprints for the fort.

16. Use all of your swipes on Tinder.

17. Read all of your junk mail. Get irrationally upset that you missed the sale Abercrombie had two months ago even though you haven’t stepped foot in an Abercrombie in years.

18. Learn the lyrics to Cardi B’s new album.

19. Take Sporcle quizzes.

Which Friends character said what? Words that rhyme with “doug”?

25. Write a screenplay.

28. Browse Craigslist.

29. Plan an expensive vacation that you definitely can’t afford.

30. Make a Spotify playlist for everything you’ve ever done or will do.

A playlist for brushing your teeth? Done. A playlist for when you’re waiting for your ramen to cook? Done. A playlist for when the plane lands in the exotic destination you picked for your vacation? Done.

31. Watch ridiculous makeup tutorials you have no interest in recreating.

32. Make a really pretty list of all the things you need to get done.

33. Look up spoilers to movies and TV shows you’ve always been vaguely interested in but will probably never watch.

35. Purge your clothes and sell half your closet on Poshmark.

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.

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.

184206

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.
