50 Thoughts You Have While Procrastinating

     Does your mind ever wander while you’re sitting down at your desk in your apartment or in Dimond Library trying to study? The task of getting your homework done is harder mentally than it is physically. With so many distractions, it’s hard to actually buckle down and block out the chaos. This article is about those thoughts you have when you let social media, food cravings and other people around get the better of you. Here are 50 random thoughts you may get while procrastinating your schoolwork:

1. Is this really the assignment?
2. Wait. What do I have to do?
