It's final exam time for university students across this great nation, and that means said students across said great nation are probably doing one thing: procrastinating.
But while most people avoid studying by surfing the 'net (we're hip, we swear) or binge-watching '90s teen dramas on Netflix, one University of British Columbia student went a little, well, bigger.
Aidan Danaher used 1,000 Post-It notes to turn the windows of the university's Qelexen dorm into a scene from the Space Invaders arcade game.
He posted the proud product of his procrastination on his Facebook and Instagram accounts.
We hope you're working towards an arts degree, Aidan.

How To Prepare Your Body For Exams
Sleep(01 of18)
"Sleep is the number one thing your brain needs to process what it is learning," says Patty Hambler, student service professionals at UBC in Vancouver. "Sleep is connected to your ability to recall information and do higher-level thinking and problem solving. It is just as important to prepare your body for recalling information during exams as it is to know the course information."
Make Breaks Part Of Studying(02 of18)
"Instead of hitting the books right away, take a break and re-charge your mind with feel-good endorphins," says Kari Marken, also at UBC. "Go for a run, or call a friend and tell them you are upset, or walk down to the water and re-connect with nature and breath. Preparing your body and mind for the next wave of intense academic pressure might just result in a better grade."
Stage Your Exam(03 of18)
Psych students know that environment can affect performance, so why not put that knowledge to the test? "If you are writing in a big gymnasium, sitting in a hard chair and can’t leave the room to go to the washroom, then study in those conditions," says Marken. "This will help desensitize you to the conditions of the exam and there is a smaller chance that your environment will trigger anxiety."
Meditate(04 of18)
This doesn't mean going into a dark room and staying silent for hours on end. Meditation can be as simple as sitting quietly, taking five deep breaths, using that time to still your mind and relax your body as best you can, and then returning to the task at hand.
Drink Water(05 of18)
Libraries can be dry places, and getting dehydrated can quickly lead to tiredness. Get used to drinking water (yes, those eight cups a day), and your body will be used to it come study time.
Get Up Once An Hour(06 of18)
Staying hunched over a desk for hours on end won't do your body, or your mind, any favours. Stand up and stretch, or walk around, for five minutes once an hour — and yes, set an alarm to remind yourself to do so.
Nuts(07 of18)
Nuts like walnuts, almonds, pecans and hazelnuts help maintain healthy cortisol levels, says Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor and author of The Stress Remedy. The vitamins in nuts can also help strengthen the immune system, which can be hindered by stress. (credit:Shutterstock)
Fatty Fish(08 of18)
Wild salmon, mackerel and sardines can all help prevent cortisol from rising, notes Dr. Doni. The omega-3s in these fish are the key to that inhibition, studies have found. (credit:Shutterstock)
Berries(09 of18)
Cortisol is not all bad — it's most basic use is to help your body react to stress. It's when the cortisol is present in the long term that it's an issue, so the antioxidants and vitamin C in berries like strawberries, blueberries and cranberries can help ensure the hormone level is maintained properly.

Leafy Greens(10 of18)
Spinach, kale, chard and more contain magnesium, which helps muscles relax, and calcium, which is calming, says Dr. Doni. (credit:Shutterstock)
Dark Chocolate(11 of18)
Dark-chocolate specific antioxidants, or flavonoids, have been shown to actually reduce cortisol specifically, so keep some high-quality chocolate on hand when you know it'll be a tough day. (credit:Shutterstock)
High-Fibre Carbs(12 of18)
High-fibre carbs like oatmeal and quinoa not only keep you full for longer, but can also increases serotonin for longer periods of time than refined carbs, says Dr. Doni. (credit:Shutterstock)
Green Tea(13 of18)
Drinking tea can decrease cortisol, increase endorphins and oxytocin, relax muscles, and improve your mood, says Dr. Doni. (credit:Shutterstock)
Protein(14 of18)
Including protein with every meal — which you should be eating every 3 to 4 hours — can help balance your hormone levels and keep cortisol from spiking and making you more stressed. (credit:Shutterstock)
Salt(15 of18)
Salt is one of the no-no foods when it comes to feeling stressed — which is exactly why you want that bag of chips so badly. Salt can trigger more cortisol and a boost of serotonin, but then drop off, leaving you feeling worse than you did before. (credit:Shutterstock)
Sugar(16 of18)
The same goes for sugar, which has an immediate impact on blood sugar levels and can cause quick spikes and drops. (credit:Shutterstock)
Caffeine(17 of18)
If you're stressed about getting things done, one of your first inclinations is to drink coffee or soft drinks to stay awake and finish. But don't do it first thing in the morning. Since cortisol is released first thing in the morning and is its own "upper" of a sort, studies found it's best to wait until approximately 9:30 a.m. for your coffee — and try to stick to just one.

Alcohol(18 of18)
Like caffeine, alcohol is another beverage we turn to when stressed, to just take a bit of the edge off. The problem is that alcohol also increases cortisol levels, leaving us just as stressed as we were before. (credit:Shutterstock)
