It’s that time of the year again. Well yes, it’s Christmas season, but it’s also the dreaded finals season. It’s that time where the library becomes more of a home than our dorm room, where coffee replaces water as the main liquid in our body, and where asking “how are finals going?” replaces the typical “hi, how are you?” across campus. Procrastinating from my own finals studying, I’ve made a list of 31 things to do on study breaks. Why 31 you ask? At this point, why not? It’s finals; anything goes. From relaxing to ridiculous to everything in between, check out my suggestions on how to make the most of your study breaks!
1. Make a blog and hope someone cares enough to read it
2. Bake cookies without burning down your dorm or setting off the fire alarm
3. Facebook stalk the boy who you’ve been crushing on… who doesn’t know your name
4. Call your mom and vent
5. Call your dad and vent some more
6. Try to beat 2048 for the thousandth time
7. Get coffee…. then get more coffee, just to see Sorwar at Hillside
8. Do jumping jacks, then cartwheels, then finish with a plank
9. Read that Buzzfeed article about cute puppies
10. Or read the headlines and try to seem informed
11. Organize a flash mob dance party in the library
12. Paint your nails, even though you’re going to peel the polish off
13. Brainstorm your upcoming New Year’s resolutions
14. Open your bank statement and try not to scream
15. Write a to-do list, then rip it up aggressively and throw it out
16. Take a nap… be a rebel and don’t set an alarm
17. Apply for a random sweepstakes that chances are you won’t win
18. Buy a chocolate bar… then eat it
19. Serenade yourself with Michael Buble’s Christmas songs
20. Plan your dream vacation, flight tickets and all
21. Day-dream about the CSOM boy who will take you on this dream vacation
22. Create a countdown until your exams are over
23. Pray… that you survive this week
24. Order Fins, Eagle’s, or Roggie’s and hope they deliver to the library
25. Plan a themed-party for the weekend after winter break
26. Raid the vending machine… the more calories, the better
27. Go to the gym and people watch
28. Have a glass of wine… I won’t judge
29. Give yourself the ultimate pep talk
30. Sing in the shower as long as you can
31. SMILE. It’ll be over soon!
