I don’t know what it is about finals week that sparks some weird obsession with dusting all the baseboards in my house but, alas, I guess I really will do anything to avoid studying. As we throw ourselves head-first into this death-of-all-will-to-live week of stress, hand cramps and migraines, I have compiled a list of everything I have done thus far EXCEPT study for my exam tomorrow morning.
1. Eat my weight in cheap Christmas chocolate
We all know the Freshman Fifteen is gained exclusively in December.
2. “Accidentally” take an 8-hour nap
What year is it again?
3. Calculate my grade average pre-exam
If I’m currently getting an 87%, can I just skip studying altogether?
4. Prepare all my study materials just to stare at them blankly for half an hour
It still counts if I look like I’m studying… right?
5. Contemplate every single life choice I have ever made
Because is this all really worth it?
6. Watch every single Christmas movie on Netflix
Even the cheesy ones… would not recommend.
7. Have multiple mental breakdowns per day
Even though the solution to literally everything is just to study.
8. Binge the entire Sex and the City collection for the 38492th time
I don’t need to study… I can just live out my life goals vicariously through Carrie Bradshaw.
9. Copy out one chapter of lecture notes then reward myself with a day-long break
It’s a miracle I did that much, honestly.
10. Literally anything…
Literally.
