With the end of the semester upon us, college students everywhere are becoming more anxiety ridden as the days go on, getting ready to be emerged in hell on earth: finals.
Of course, students are already getting their flashcards, study guides and Quizlets ready for the impending doom that will soon take over their lives, right? Wrong.
We all know that college students are the best procrastinators. So, if you’re one of the ones that are trying everything to avoid studying but are running out of ideas, here’s some things that you can try:
- Think about all the finals you have to study for
- Cry
- Organize a “study group” with your roommates or friends
- Spend the whole “study group” Instagram stalking people
- Accidentally like your crush’s sister’s picture from 92 weeks ago
- Have a mental breakdown because you know appear as a psycho
- Order a pizza
- Eat the pizza
- Feel bad about eating the pizza and contemplate going to the gym
- Avoid going to the gym
- Watch the TV show you’ve already watched 3 times
- Quote the show perfectly even though it has 9 seasons with 22 episodes each
- Get bored and start watching vine compilations
- Cry because you remembered Vine is dead
- Get on Facebook

- End up taking a Buzzfeed quiz to determine what kinda sandwich would you be based on your zodiac sign
