11 YouTube Channels For When You're Procrastinating
Huffpost.com

We've all done it. We spend hours in front of our computers watching YouTube videos and telling ourselves, "Just one more video." Procrastination at its finest. Whether it's putting off that essay or ignoring the chapter you need to read, YouTube has a plethora of videos at your fingertips to distract you. It's okay. It'll get done eventually. So here's eleven of the most addicting YouTube channels to fulfill all of your procrastination needs.

1. Cat videos

Need I say more? This isn't really a channel, but YouTube is filled with an abundance of adorable and hilarious cat videos to watch at your leisure.

2. Miniature Space

This channel, a personal favorite, it dedicated to making tiny food in tiny kitchens with, you guessed it, tiny utensils. It's adorable and oddly satisfying.

3. Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper)

Admit it. You'd be lying if you said you haven't fallen victim to watching one of her procedures. There's just something about all of that gross stuff coming out of that disturbingly large bump. You can't look away.

4. CathyMay15

You may remember her from a video that went viral of her singing something called "Boom Boom Way". Her videos are hilarious and her message to her haters is actually pretty inspiring.

5. Makeup tutorials

Even if you only wear makeup once every three months (I mean, 8 AM's are killer. Am I right??), you're still going to watch hours upon hours of these pretending you're going to try them one day.

6. Creepypasta

There's something about watching scary videos while sitting home alone. No matter how scared you get, you just keep watching. Oh well, Slenderman still isn't as scary as that exam tomorrow.

7. Vlogbrothers

John and Hank Green post an assortment of videos about literally everything under the sun. They can be quite educational, but with a good amount of stupidity mixed in.

8. Buzzfeed

Okay, c'mon. You can go from watching videos about guys trying things girls have to endure to dogs eating brunch in just a few videos. You can get lost here.

9. DIY Videos

You can pretend like you're going to make that bird feeder all you want, but you're really just procrastinating. But, it's still fun to watch people make stuff, even if you're going to save it and never actually do it. Or try it and fail. Those are entertaining too.

10. Miranda Sings

Okay this girl is just hilarious. She tries things you'd never dream of trying and makes hilarious music videos. You could just watch her face for hours.

11. TED Talks

These are actually really motivational and you can really learn a lot. So you can procrastinate by pretending like you're doing something meaningful. And you'll probably learn something in the process!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
