15 Things You Do Except The Thing You Are Supposed To Do

Even though it is summer, we all have things we are supposed to be doing. Applying for that scholarship. Finishing up that study abroad reflection. Start that Odyssey article that is due tonight. Figure out exactly how you're going to pay rent for your apartment. You know, those general things everyone needs to be doing (right? please say right) but hasn't yet. Yet, of course, we haven't done those things because we are too busy doing the things we aren't supposed to be doing.

Get ready for the 15 things you do except the thing you are supposed to be doing:

1. Delete all the unnecessary pictures off your camera roll

You have to free up that space so you can take more dramatic selfies in that prime lighting you discovered in the bathroom.

2. Bake cookies

I always go for chocolate chip, but any type of cookie applies here. It will give you something to make you feel productive without actually being productive.

3. Figure out your next hairstyle

To Pinterest!

4. Eat the cookies

Once you have found the perfect picture of a blonde balayage to show to your hairstylist you can finally eat the cookies you made. Take a seat, enjoy the moment and eat every single last one until all that is left is crumbs and your regrets.

5. Read a book that is not for school

May I suggest Saint Anything by the amazingly talented Sarah Dessen? I read it in one day and felt immense sadness the moment it was over. That's how you know you just read a really, really good story.

6. Watch 'Friends'

I will never, not suggest this.

7. Stalk your favorite celebrities Instagram's

Justin Baldoni from Jane the Virgin (#teamrafael) is my favorite to stalk because he is pretty, his wife is pretty, his child is pretty and his life, in general, is pretty. A few minutes of checking out his Instagram feed you will start to feel pretty too.

8. Try and buy Kylie Jenner's limited edition birthday bundle makeup set

All I have to say on this subject is the third try was NOT the charm...

9. Drop your phone on the floor and shatter the screen

Or don't.

10. Read this article

Much thanks for opening this weird little listicle and getting this far. From me to you, thank you so much for taking the time to read my little rants and such. It means the world to me!

11. Call your parents

Am I the only one who enjoys talking to my mom and dad?

12. Bug your friends as they try to do the thing they are supposed to do

Then you can create a horde of people who aren't doing what they are supposed to do. Just imagine it, an army of procrastinators! You wouldn't get anything done, but at least you wouldn't feel bad about not writing out your detailed plan for world domination. You and your comrades will be too busy playing Pokémon Go.

13. Plan out your birthday party

So what if it is five months away? You might as well get a head start on something!

14. Write a rap and then participate in a rap battle

It's titled 'Love and Cheese'.

15. Tell people about how there is something you're supposed to do, but instead, you are doing something else

They may not care, but at least it is something to do.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
