Deep within each of us
mild-mannered students there
lies a seething, cataclysmic
animal that’s struggling to get
out. And on every exam week,
the rampant monster surfaces
in all its savage fury — the
beast of laziness, sloth and
general aversion to studying
Htnet lookout’ is adding
some wood to the fire with
these simple suggestions for
kicking the studying habit.
Follow our advice and we
guarantee you’ll flunk your
exam or your money back. ★
There are many idle ap
proaches to exam flunking, but
the time-tested plan for non
studying js a good, everyday
sickness. Since you can’t feign
illness (remember, you’re only
cheating yourself*, you’ve got
to catch a bug, so simply make
a visit to the University infir
mary. Sign up as a hangnail
patient and you’ll immediately
be filed away for a two to three
hours waiting period, at which
time you’ll be exposed to
students suffering for every
diseases known to man or
beast (plus a couple more.)
It’s a cinch that you’ll develop
some malaise that’ll curtail
your studying
For those of you who aren’t
fond of thinking ahead, there
are several impromptu me
thods of time-wasting at your
convenient disposal. First off,
assure your limited compre
hension of the material by
creating the correct anti-con
centration environment. Num
ber One rule of thumb: always
turn on a record that makes
you want to boogie (Humble
Pie s “I Don’t Need No Doc
tor,” anything by Wet Willie
and J. Geils Band or the
Stones’ "Get Yer Ya Yas Out”
are highly recommended).
Then there are those leadbot
toms who usually convince
themselves that any dullard
can watch TV b study at the
same time And of course,
keep your door open so that
gregarious neighbors can wan
der in freely Cooking popcorn,
spaghetti or any other culinary
treat with an enticing odor will
draw in distracting scavengers
like flies.
The telephone is the procras
tinator's delight. Call every
living soul in your English
class and complain about what
an addle-brained jerkweed your
teacher is and how devastating
the exam will be. You can also
request songs on WUOG, call
the time and weather informa
tion or the Crisis service line,
even your mother when you
become desperate.
Another fun way to beat the
"1 don’t want to fool with
exams" blues is making use of
all-night cramming techniques.
Run around the block to keep
alert for later daydreaming
over your biology book. Drive
to Krystals. Dunkin's Donuts
or the Waffle House for unne
cessary late calories. Or take
several naps so that you can
stay awake.
All you softies will have
given in to the God of Apathy
at this point, but the hard-core
exam devotees will require
more drastic prodding. Dream
up several pertinent activities
that are imperative to your
immediate survival, such as
scrubbing your toilet or clean
ing out your toenails. Many
students partake in such do
mestic ventures as laundry,
dish washing or sewing on
loose buttons Music nuts can
arrange their albums in alpha
betical order or count the
grooves on "Eat a Peach."
One popular path to preoccupa
tion is to attempt to go over
notes with a member of the
opposite sex. (Never fails.)
Do ANYTHING as long as
you don’t glance at the books
Light up some ciggies and boil
over those cups of caffeine-
loaded coffee so you can stay
up and not study. Take five
minute breaks every five mi
nutes Read your high school
annual or better yet, your
roommate’s diary Balance
your checkbook. Write a fiery
letter to your congressman.
Stare at the pattern on your
army blanket. Do a crossword
puzzle. Doodle Concentrate on
the hissing of the steam heater
in your ancient dorm room.
Analyze your sexual hang ups
And if all else fails, spend
the evening making out a cheat
sheet.
