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!
Eating a banana Nutella crepe
Literally anything
Be on a tennis court, racquet in one hand, beer in the other
Kissin’ my dog on the lips
SITTING ANYWHERE THAT DOESN’T HAVE FLUORESCENT LIGHTING
Going to the premiere of the new Hobbit movie solely for Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug
Eating a wheel of cheese, but the wheel has lots of different sections and each one is a different kind of cheese
Snapchatting the entire song “Royals” line by line while dressed as Lorde
Walking through Costco eating free samples while drinking a slushie
(This response was deemed too explicit to print on 4E)
Babysitting Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s kids
At home, on my couch, watching the latest episode of Homeland with a warm slice of pizza from my fave pizza restaurant
Making a gingerbread house
Flossing my teeth
Hiking in the Adirondacks and eating PB&Js and trail mix with my two favorite people in the world
Taking my chances with a poisonous frog
Laying in bed covered in puppies
Wrestling a great white shark
Catching the rats in Darnall with a loincloth and a small hunting spear
Scouring the city for knives to donate to Leo’s
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.
