7 methods to not study effectively

Well, midterms are finally here, and everyone else around you is studying. But what's the point? You haven't studied before midterm season, so why bother studying now? But just in case you feel compelled to succumb to peer pressure and pick up a textbook, here are some things that you can do to dispel that feeling:

  1. Play Super Smash Bros Brawl until 2am the day of the test. You'll be seeing Link and Captain Falcon running across the matrices.
  2. Use Vista as much as possible. In fact, get Windows Update before reading your notes.
  3. Fortify your room against the impending zombie invasion.
  4. Bring your girl/boyfriend to study with you. You know you're gonig to get work done that way.
  5. If you don't have a girl/boyfriend, go get one. That's definitely a top priority.
  6. Study in your room. It's not like the laptop, games, cell phone access, and being in close proximity to your roommates is distracting, right?
  7. Don't do anything that Big Mak recommends.
