The Art of Procrastination: College Freshmen Edition

Procrastination is something I am unfortunately good at and now that I live on a college campus, having to actually motivate myself to get things done is somewhat of a struggle. There are many ways to procrastinate and I shall share all that I know (or at least my favorites).

1. YouTube. I no longer have cable, because the dorm life, so I watch a whole lot of YouTube. It can get pretty bad though. For example, yesterday I was procrastinating and thought I'd watch some videos well I spent over an hour and it felt like maybe ten minutes.

2. BuzzFeed. I really love BuzzFeed. These people are hysterical. The above mentioned hour of YouTubing was really watching BuzzFeed on YouTube...

3. Coloring! Coloring is the best I have two packs of markers, a big box or coloring pencils, a large variety of crayons (all Crayola of course), and lots of paper so I color a lot. It also doubles as a stress reliever.

4. Productive Procrastination. This is when you put off doing the homework you don't want to do by doing other homework that is either not as important or not as undesirable.

5. FOOD. I love food and I keep lots of snack foods in my dorm. So sometimes I tell myself I'm hungry and therefore must get a snack and watch YouTube (because that's what I do when I eat in my room. It's bad I know but oh well) and then proceed to waste like half an hour at least.

6. Naptime! Sometimes I tell myself I can't do homework because I'm too tired and must take a nap (which is at least an hour long).

7. Pinterest! I spend soo much time on Pinterest and I regret nothing. It's one of my happy places.

And now I have shared my procrastinating wisdom on you (assuming anyone bothers to read this:)
Happy Procrastinating!
