Effectively Using YouTube as a Form of Procrastination

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wisconsin chapter.

Procrastination is a hobby of mine. I prefer procrastination over production, procrastination over professors and most certainly I prefer procrastination over papers. My love for procrastination is so real, I feel it is time for me to share my favorite ways to procrastinate with the rest of the collegiate world so that we may all fail happily. So please, enjoy this YouTube way of procrastinating.

1.     Watch this when you need to cry because studying is no longer a real thing.
