Here are some great ways to procrastinate on studying for your midterms, in case you’re getting bored of your old methods of procrastination. (I’m procrastinating by writing this article):
Go on iwastesomuchtime.com. Hours and hours of hilarious procrastination. And at least than you’re being completely honest about what you’re doing. It’s in the freaking url.
Go to Goberry. This is my personal favorite method of procrastination. The weather couldn’t be more perfect for tart, fresh, cool, smooth froyo. And it will get you out of your dorm, which somehow feels more productive than procrastinating indoors. Who knows, the walk and all that calcium in the yogurt might inspire you to actually do some of your work when you get back. I highly recommend the maple yogurt with local maple syrup, toffee bits, and fresh blueberries.
Type “puppies” into youtube. Who doesn’t love puppies? You may never get off youtube again. I’m a fan of puppy vs. cat and ultimate dog tease (this one is hilarious; watch it). Watching puppies really gives you perspective on midterms. There is a world out there, beyond midterms, and it is a beautiful world filled with happiness and puppies. Does that Orgo exam really seem like the end all and be all now?
Annoy your friends while they are trying to study. This is another personal favorite. Go into your friend’s room, promise you are only going to be there for a few minutes, and say that you just have to show her this one thing on youtube. Keep showing her more youtube videos, always saying, “just one more, for real this time”. I recommend college humor or the sh*t (fill in the blank) say. Once you watch one of these videos, it is near impossible to stop. Soon your friend won’t know where the time has gone. You can also just sit on her bed and poke her repeatedly or make animal noises, until she physically throws you out of the room.
Write a Her Campus article. Have some love advice to give, or a great Val stir fry recipe? Type it up and and email it to evelynkramer@hercampus.com. You will feel productive because you will be writing, and other people will get to read your article and reap the benefits of your procrastination.
Happy procrastinating!
