It’s been over a week since the last day of classes, and finals studying is in full force. The prospect of two weeks on campus with no classes seemed like it might be fun. There would be so much time for activities – if only that pesky thing called “studying” were not in the way of you and holiday-spirited revelry with friends. After that sentiment fled, Lau became a time-warping alternate universe of notecards, Word documents and cabin fever. However, we know that Hoyas have other things on their minds than studying.
We asked what you’d rather do than study for exams … and here’s what Hoyas have to say:
- Sleeping
- Running a marathon, because it would be less painful
- Playing with my pet bird
- Watching Elf
- Drinking
- Traveling back in time to actually pay attention in class the first time around
- Stealing the Healy clock hands while everyone is too busy on Lau 2 to notice
- Watching TV
- Apparently reading Thought Catalog, since I’ve been doing that for the last hour
- Studying something I’m more interested in
- Lying next to a crackling fire with hot cocoa while watching all 8 Harry Potter movies
- Cuddling and listening to Christmas music
- Figuring out how much wood a woodchuck actually would chuck
- Squash
- I’m not really sure it’s appropriate
- Dancing
- Watching a movie
- Christina Hendricks
- Watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on my bed with my dog and a hot piece o’ ‘za
- Playing soccer
- Watching the entire series of New Girl online. Oh wait, that IS what I’m doing.
- Tanning on the beach in San Diego
- Flying a blimp!
- WATCHING MRS. DOUBTFIRE, DUH!

- Petting little Jack … for hours
So there you have it. That’s everything you’d rather be doing than studying for finals… Now get back to studying for finals.
