Studying. You know you have to do it, but you can always find something that sounds better. We put together a list of 20 things that students are prone to do to procrastinate their work.Â
1. Attempt to reward yourself with treats for doing the bare minimum
*does a face mask for making the title page of a 10 page paper due tomorrow* Â Â
2. Clean your room
You can’t start studying without a clean living space.
3. Eat a snack- you can’t start studying without some brain food
Snacks just make studying a lot more manageable. Â Â
4. Scroll through your Instagram feed
Scrolling through your insta feed on a Wednesday night and drowning in FoMo by looking at peoples WNR posts….  Â
5. While scrolling through your Instagram feed you end up insta-stalking that cute boy in your marketing class
Whoopsie! But a little lurking never hurt anyone, right?! Â Â
6. Go to the gym
Burn out your stress! Trust us this helps! Â Â
7. Watch one episode of Shameless and that one episode turns into several
You can’t possibly just watch one episode of Shameless.  Â
8. Watch vine threads on twitter
There’s nothing better than Vine. RIP  Â
9. Clean your common room
Trust us, at this time in the year, everyone’s common room could use a little TLC.
10. People watching at the library
Possibly watching other people being productive, could help you be productive… Â Â
11. Try the new Snapchat filters
Why not be in the spirit of Halloween by trying out the new Halloween filters?! Â Â
12. Grab a snack from the café ​
Grab some coffee to get your stuff done. Coffee will never fail you Â
13. Contemplate your life choices
“I should really start studying.” “Should I change my major?”  Â
14. Look at your notes and realize you aren’t organized
“Looks like these notes from Accounting aren’t helping me….”  Â
15. Do your laundry that needs to get done
We know your laundry hamper is overflowing. Â Â
16. Update your VSCO
Update that feed and add some new filters. Â Â
17. Make a study playlist on Spotify
This one is a bit dangerous because you might just end up listening to music. Â Â
18. Take a much needed nap
Getting yourself to study is a tricky task. Take a quick power nap, you deserve it. Â Â
19. Take a walk around campus because you need a “break”
Get some fresh air and maybe you’ll see a dog!! Â
20. Wave goodbye to procrastination and study for real this time
Okay, actually get your stuff together, sit down and study!
