12 Things I Do Instead Of Writing A Decent Article For The Odyssey (Or Properly Adulting For That Matter)

Oh, look! My good friend procrastination!

All right, I’m back with another listicle because the events of this summer has turned my brain to poo and no amount of inspiration can ever revive this mess until next week. I have literally spent the last seven hours watching nail tutorials from Simply Nailogical and dreaming of delicious ramen before remembering that I am a content creator and should indeed create content. After attempting to write something serious, I gave up and decided that sarcastic humor is always the way to go. Besides, we could always use a little more laughter in our lives. Hopefully you can relate to my very amazing ways of procrastinating and blatant refusal to do responsible adult things. Like laundry.

1. Play Pokemon Go.

“Oh, I totally have a great idea for an article! Where’s my laptop, I should—oh! An Evee is totally on my couch right now!”

2. Watch YouTube Videos.

This could actually work in my favor if I watched things about our political situation or an environmental issue. Nope. Kittens it is. Or a top 10 list from Watch Mojo counting down the best fragrant soaps. Intriguing.

3. Fall into despair about how much adulting I have to do.

I’m 24 years old. This is a daily thing. I’ll probably have to dedicate a whole article to how much not fun it is to be over the age of 21. It’s all fun and games until you fall and can’t get up for five minutes. Or that just could be me. Who knows.

4. Tumblr.

*Opens Word to start writing article. Opens Tumblr.*

5. Having vivid daydreams of traveling the world and being awesome and famous.

I only typed on word and then went to Tahiti in my head for the past 35 minutes. This is normal, right? No? OK.

6. Read copious amounts fan fiction without a break in between.

My feelings! OK, just one more, I promise. *Reads seven more fan fictions and then it is night time*

7. Call friends and discuss copious amounts of fan fiction.

Because we should talk about our feelings and how they were ripped apart by such well written creative content. Wait a minute...

8. Freak out because I haven’t written any creative content!

Crap. Crap! What time is it? Crap! Deadline time! OK, five more minutes of freaking out then I’ll write!

9. Take a short nap.

All of this not creating content (as well as not fulfilling responsibilities) has gotten me so tired! I should rest my eyes for three minutes (actually hours).

10. Online shopping.

Ooh, there’s a sale on Amazon for this nail polish that I totally don’t need but kind of want anyway. And I have Student Prime! Score!

11. Watch a Korean Drama.

Oh no, the lead actress got hit by another car and is in the 12th coma for this season. I really hope she pulls through so the bad hot lead guy will actually confess his deep dark feelings for her instead of the other evil chick. Why do I watch these?

12. Sit down and create content.

Then I realize all the other responsibilities that I’ve ignored and ask myself why I take myself down this spiral of death each and every time. Sigh.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
