Between painful lab reports, research papers, and piles upon piles of readings, McGill is notorious for its never-ending homework assignments and midterm examinations. And McGill students are just as notorious for finding any and every way to procrastinate and ignore it all. Here are twenty ways all McGill students have avoided their schoolwork at least once in their time here.
Reading the SSMU Election Campaign Facebook comments.
Poor Alexei.
Protesting (even if you don’t know what you’re protesting for).
This is what your mother was afraid of when you decided to move to Quebec.
Club Meetings and Events.
But you have to go- there’s free food!
Spilling Sangria at Gerts.
Gerts ’til it hurts.
Trying to pet the campus squirrels.
No one actually does this? Okay, it’s just me then.
Debating with Political Science students.
Poli sci students- you know what I mean.
Thinking of excuses to skip your class in Stewart Bio.
As if that hill wasn’t excuse enough.
Spending half your month’s rent at Eaton Center.
At least retail therapy is cheaper than real therapy, right?
Sun Tanning on lower field.
Well, it’s not like the warm weather stays around for too long.
Bragging about how PM Trudeau is a McGill alumni.
Because that means you’re practically related to the Prime Minister.
Spending Too Much Time at Premiere Moisson.
Coffee is your oxygen.
Complaining About How they Replaced Tim Hortons with Premier Moisson in Redpath.
You’ll never forgive McGill for doing this to you.
Mulling over list articles.

Because this is both rational and productive.
Reading Her Campus McGill (duh.)
Shameless self-promotion.
No mater how much procrastination you do, it doesn’t make the deadlines just go away. A little bit of harmless procrastination never hurt anybody (okay, maybe that’s a lie), but you can’t avoid the schoolwork forever. Stay strong during finals season, McGillians. The end is (almost) near.
