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!

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

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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

2050
Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
