UNC is no joke. Unless I’m doing something wrong, my weekly schedule pretty much goes as follows: wake up, go to class, study, sleep, repeat. Throw in the intermittent one episode of Netflix for the week, two episodes if I’m living on the wild side, and that’s basically it. Although I have accepted this as my life for the next few years, it does not mean that I enjoy a life of misery. In fact, here is a nifty compiled list of equally appealing alternatives to studying.
