The Ultimate Guide to Procrastination During Finals Week
Healthline

The dreaded finals week is upon us! Every college student knows that this is 100% the worst time of the school year and that we will do just about anything to avoid the inevitable hours of stuDYING. Although some schools are already done with finals, mine are just beginning, so I put together a list of all of my favorite ways to procrastinate! It's a fool proof plan that guarantees you will be able to put off all that work you have to do until the very last minute. Good luck!


Step One: Make sure to watch every YouTube video that looks even remotely interesting.


Step Two: Even if you're not really hungry, snack all the time.


Step Three: Take some time to lay on your bed doing nothing because you deserve a rest.


Step Four: Look through your planner at all the work you have to do.


Step Five: Go to all of the end of the year shows on campus. (There will be a lot.)


Step Six: Open the word document for the paper you should be writing, stare at it for a bit, read what you have, and then close it.


Step Seven: Clean and redecorate your room, even though you'll be moving out in a week.


Step Eight: Take a relaxing walk around campus or into town for no particular reason.


Step Nine: FaceTime or call each member of your family back home just to say hi and to see your dog.


Step Ten: Find a new show to binge-watch on Netflix as a reward for finishing your year of college (almost).


Step Eleven: Go to the dining hall for your second lunch of the day.


Step Twelve: Write down everything you have to do and their due dates on multiple calendars.


Step Thirteen: Browse through social media for a while, and when there's nothing new going on in your feeds, find some random accounts to stalk all the way back to the beginning.


Step Fourteen: Write an Odyssey article.


Step Fifteen: Complain to anyone who will listen about how much work you have to do.



Good luck on your finals, everyone! Have fun procrastinating!

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.
