I would rather do anything else than get dressed and ready for an 8 a.m. final. The mere thought of it makes me internally groan.

When those words fall from the professor's lips, no matter what class it is, everyone's hearts immediately drop. We would rather do ANYTHING but take a two-hour exam. But because I can't include the many glorious activities I'd rather take place in, here are a few that sound immensely better than taking a final at 8 a.m.

1. Sleep

I don't think I have to expand on this.

2. Step on a Lego

Look up the word 'pain' in the dictionary, a picture of a lego will be right next to it.

3. Listen to "All-Star" by Smash Mouth on repeat

One of my best friends has an obsession with this song, it's inevitable if they don't start to sing it at some point. And it's a miracle if it doesn't get stuck in my head.

4. Hiccup for a week straight

I HATE hiccups! They're annoying and once I get them, I have them for the whole day. Drinking tons of water or holding my breath does nothing to help. But I would still rather have them for an entire week instead of taking an 8 a.m. test.

5. Burn my tongue on a piece of pizza

I burn my tongue on food more often than I should. Maybe I'm just excited to devour what's in front of me? Who am I kidding, that's definitely the reason. So why not continue to do so instead of waking up at 6:30 in the morning and driving to campus only to take an exam.

6. Sit through a mandatory two-hour lecture

Thankfully, I have not yet had the pleasure of sitting through a two-hour lecture. But I can still tell you without a doubt in my mind that I'd rather do that than miss out on a couple extra hours of sleep.

7. Walk through a downpour to my next class

I've done this a few times before and although it sucks and I'm left wet and cold and a teeny bit ticked at myself for forgetting an umbrella, this is still better than the dreaded 8 a.m.
