25 things that are better than studying journalism

As a proud graduate of two British universities, having completed my journalism course, I can tell you there are plenty of things that are more worthy of your time than the above. Not that I didn’t enjoy the courses. I did. Best time of my life. Thanks to them, I have a strong academic background, self-confidence, and a lot of debt. For that reason, I have prepared a list of 25 things that are more useful to society and cheaper than gaining your qualification in the above field. You can do the following:  

1. Kiss a rabid skunk. 

2. Sit on a cactus and then eat it. Raw.

3. Volunteer in a tiger sanctuary.

4. Learn how to juggle fiery sticks.

5. Sleep.

6. Water ski behind a cruise ship.

7.  Drop in a barrel down the Niagara Falls.

8. Learn how to fly a helicopter blind-folded.

9. Smash bottles on the curb in front of a local courthouse.

10. Swim with orcas dressed like a baby whale. 

11. Design a dress made of cheese and sell it to any available celebrity.

12. Invent a corkscrew nail and patent it.  

13. Keep chickens in the city centre and sell eggs to all white collars rushing to work.

He managed number two... I mean, number two from the list. At least the first part. 

14. Weave hammocks out of straw.

15. Discover a new island and establish your own country.

16. Fall down a well wearing nothing but wellies and then ask to get rescued by the hottest firemen in town.

17. Build your own car out of scraps.

18. Play football with sea lions.

19. Go crazy with jelly and build a jelly igloo in your neighbour's garden.  

20. Whistle your national anthem while in a closed-off canyon.

21. Learn how to hack any Wi-Fi network, anywhere.

22. Go on three rounds on the Hammer when a fair comes to your town and then drink two pints of absinthe.

The Hammer

23. Play dead when your mother comes to visit (shouldn’t be hard after no. 22).

24. Invent your own cocktail and make a t-shirt with recipe.

25. Actually write something instead of learning how to do it.
