17 Things To Do Instead Of Studying For Finals

Finals suck. There's no other way to put it. And that minute when you finally tell yourself you need to start studying, you realize that there are so many others things you could be doing with your time, so obviously you need to check off that long list before pulling out your books and getting to business.

Even if nothing comes to mind, but the thought of having to actually face the fact that you need to study makes you want to die a little inside, here are some things you can do that are so much more productive than that bio test you have in two days.

1. Start a new TV show.

2. Watch every single music video from Justin Bieber's new album.

3. Go to the gym for the first time this semester.

4. Look up DIY arts and crafts on Pinterest and try all of them.

5. Taste test every kind of peanut butter there is at the grocery store. Then rank each one in a number of categories.

6. Look up "cats" on YouTube. You'll be occupied for hours.

7. Start your holiday shopping. Nothing like a little retail therapy.

8. Unpack from Thanksgiving Break. We all know you haven't done that yet.

9. Buy every self-tanning lotion at CVS and see which one makes you look like you just came back from the Islands but without looking too orange. Ya feel?

10. FaceTime every single high school friend, even ones you haven't talked to since graduation. Hey, no time like the present, right?

11. Unfollow anyone who hasn't liked an Instagram of yours in a month.

12. Try out today's new Snapchat filters and proceed to send videos of yourself to all your friends.

13. When that runs out, Snapchat photos of you looking like your studying so that others think you're smart.

14. BuzzFeed quizzes. Yes.

15. Look at food porn on Insta.

16. Go for a run, for like an hour, and then lay on the floor for an hour. Recovery is key.

17. Text all your friends to see if they're studying because if they aren't you'll feel 10 times better about yourself.

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.
