- Scrolling Instagram
Let’s be honest, we’ve all done this various times, lying to ourselves that we have no work left to do. Then, what starts as a few-second Instagram break turns into 20 minutes gone from tutorial.
- Sleeping in the quad
Who doesn’t love a nap? Although I’ve never done it, I’ve seen a few instances of students sleeping on the tables in the quad… not the best way to get your work done, but everyone needs a break once in a while.
- Getting a snack
Forgot breakfast? Tutorial may seem like a great time to get a snack from the vending machines, but scouring through each option and finally deciding on a $2 chip bag is both a waste of time and money.
- Trying to do a group project
In theory, tutorial is the perfect time to meet up with group members to work on a group project, but eventually, one group member will end up “on the way” as the other has to make up a quiz.
- Playing “Clash Royale”
For us “Clash Royale” players, there’s never a better time to ascend trophy road, but one match to get the next reward turns into five, and before you know it the break bell rings.
- “Working” on the upper field
You could pretend to want fresh air or an open place to do homework, but we all know it will turn into a football session.
- Negotiating fantasy football trades
Tutorial often has students acting like they’re NFL general managers, negotiating trades and researching players’ stats instead of working on their English essay due the day after (definitely not relatable).
- Wandering around campus
Sometimes you don’t mean to waste tutorial — it just happens. You go to one of your classrooms but decide you don’t really want to stay there, then go to another, and so on until the end of tutorial.
- Waiting outside a teacher’s room just to realize they’re not there
Imagine you slept five hours the night before and your brain’s not working right. You show up to one of your classes and wait 10 minutes for the teacher to show up until you finally remember they flew off to New York to send their kid to college.
- Repeatedly checking grades
You open Canvas just to check your grades, but you suddenly start testing out what grade you need on the chemistry final to get an A instead of actually studying for it.
