Softball player Victoria Molina says, “I search every crevice of the interweb and end up taking random buzz feed quizzes.”
Netflix is also a very popular stalling tactic for Stanford students during this dark time. According to various students, short comedic TV episodes like The Office and New Girl provide the perfect amount of distraction. It also gives them a good laugh to lighten up the harsh reality of having to study for finals.

Facebook backstalking friends also seems to be the thing to do when running away from your obligations as a student during finals week. Finals week is a dangerous time for those middle school pictures you posted when you first got a Facebook that you wish no one would ever lay eyes on.
