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!

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.
