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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
