You're sitting in your room after a long day of exams and homework. Finally, you have a free 20 minutes to watch an episode of "Friends" on Netflix. But, wait! You go to click on "Friends" and the screen goes black with a red spinning circle. A message pops up on your screen asking you to join Franklin and Marshall guest wi-fi, but you're not a guest. You are a paying student.

Having wi-fi trouble? Here are 10 things you can do while waiting for the F&M wi-fi to work.

1. Knit a scarf.

Do you get cold while you're waiting for the wifi to work? Knit yourself a scarf to wear! Don't know how to knit? Don't worry -- you probably have time to both teach yourself to knit and to also actually knit the scarf while waiting for the wifi! You may even have time to make matching gloves!

2. Go for a run.

And lift -- and shower -- and maybe do a face mask, too.

3. Declare your major.

You probably need to see a minimum of three people, do 10 jumping jacks, sacrifice your first born, and get some documents signed. By the time that is done the wi-fi might be working. If not, try declaring a speciality major, which requires seeing a minimum of 5 people, writing a few proposals, and offering half of your soul. Your wi-fi will definitely be working by the time you declare one of those.

4. Eat at Dhall (and digest it).

You know what I mean by this one.

5. Do your homework.

Is this F&M's plan all along? Screw us over with faulty wi-fi so that we won't waste our time online and watching Netflix? You could probably could get all your work done for the next day while your wi-fi loads -- I'd say all your work for the week, but let's be honest, it's F&M here we're talking about. Oh, and if any of your work needs to be done online, well then good luck.

6. Have sex.

Depending on the person.

7. Plan your outfit for every day that week.

You'll be so prepared! Except you cannot plan accordingly for the weather, of course, because of the wi-fi.

8. Read the "Harry Potter" series.

Yes -- all seven books.

9. Try every cupcake flavor at Lancaster Cupcakes.

If the cupcake truck is not outside of the random wedding dress shop that sits across from our college campus you also have time to walk into town to the shop and try them all there.

10. Go to Appel.

Take the pregnancy test that they are sure to offer you once you tell them your nose is stuffed and you have a fever.
