Gird your loins, Wildcats: finals week is upon us. If you’re like me, you will do quite literally anything to avoid aimlessly paging through a quarter’s worth lecture slides for the fourth time. To aid my fellow academic deliquents, I’ve compiled a short list of tasks for you to do (at your computer, even!) to further put off the crapload of studying hanging over your head. Happy underachieving!
1. Update your LinkedIn Profile.
We both know you’ve been putting this off for months, “Incoming Lifeguard at Sunshine Country Club.”
2. Check your symptoms on WebMD.
Oh, but you’re not feeling sick? Don’t worry. You will.
3. Run your computer’s AntiVirus software.
4. Play whatever computer game dominated your childhood.
Zombinis, Sims, Spider Solitaire, Oregon Trail, Minesweeper– there’s a version on the internet somewhere.
5. Join a Fantasy Sports League.
6. Get lost in Wikipedia articles.
There are at least 14 separate articles relating to JFK Assasination conspiracy theories, and it is now suddenly your job to become the expert on ALL of them. Nevermind your biology major.
7. Stalk your cousins and high school lovers on Facebook.
8. Make a list of goals for Winter Quarter.
Number one: develop better study habits.
8. Google yourself.
9. Organize the folders on your desktop.
You just can’t focus with this all clutter, okay?!
10. “Rest your eyes.”
11. Find out what your favorite previous cast members of The Real World/Laguna Beach/Big Brother are up to right now.
I assure you, it’s not impressive.
12. Watch beauty tutorials/GRWM videos on Youtube.
13. Tumblr.
14. Upload new headshots to Canvas and all of your e-mail accounts.
“But it’s so cute, look, my little face pops up when I send you something!”
15. Make a study playlist on Spotify.
16. Create a Buzzfeed Quiz about you and your friends.
But which member of the Kappa Psi Gamma 2015 pledge class ARE you?!
17. Make a list of passwords for all of your social media profiles, online shopping accounts, online banking accounts, electronic devices, Northwestern accounts, etc.
TBH this might just take you all of Finals Week.
18. Buy next quarter’s shampoo, condintioner, toilet paper, etc. on Amazon.
19. Find Holiday themed recipes to cook up over X-mas break.
20. Write a HerCampus article.

Godspeed, Wildcats.
