101 Things More Productive than General Studies (Part 1)

General Studies is a pointless subject. So pointless, in fact, that I've spent the last two years compiling a list on Facebook of 101 things more productive than it. Which, in itself, is more productive than General Studies.

  1. Sitting in an empty room making popping noises with one's mouth. 
  2. Bread slippers.
  3. Spending an entire afternoon pretending to be telepathic.
  4. Getting up really early in the morning in order to pretend you are the only survivor of some great apocalypse. 
  5. Spending an entire morning making up creative euphemisms for poo. 
  6. Missing the sixth one out by accident, but pretending it was deliberate. 
  7. Toast sandwiches.
  8. Designing and constructing a submarine using only cardboard.
  9. Going around the local park putting straws in all the dog turds. 
  10. Going into a lift full of people and after a few seconds of silence saying "You're probably all wondering why I've gathered you here."
  11. Spending twelve years of full-time compulsory education learning to read and write only to create a Facebook account and write as if you started learning ten minutes ago. 
  12. Wearing a suit all day for no reason. 
  13. Getting up from your seat during a general studies lesson, and running into one of the floor-to-ceiling windows in your general studies room in response to seeing some people you know walk past in the corridor.
  14. Translating nursery rhymes into German using Google Translate.
    "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in German:
    Funkeln funkeln Wenigheit Stern,
    Wie ich frage mich, wo du bist,
    Bis uber die Welt so hoch,
    Wie en Diamant am Himmel,
    Funkeln funkeln Wenigheit Stern,
    Wie ich frage mich, wo du bist.
  15. Writing a song/poem about salad cream:

  16. Yu-Gi-Oh!
  17. Making up words that incorporate other words to make puns.
    E.g:

    Hitlerious: The Nazi's tactics during the war were so bad, it was Hitlerious. 
  18. Finding out how much of myself I can fit into a large-ish cardboard box without tearing the side.
  19. Lying in hospital watching programs about hospitals and then being all disappointed when the hospital you're in is nothing like the hospital on the TV.
  20. Combining two flavours of crisp to invent a whole new incredible flavour.
