19 Things To Do Instead Of Homework

I'll let you in on a little secret...I'm writing this article instead of doing mine.

19 Things To Do Instead Of Homework

1. Netflix.

The go-to for every college student. If you're really trying to avoid homework, take some time to watch the entire first season of "Fuller House"…I won't judge you.

2. Spend some time swiping through Tinder.

Even if you're not looking to meet your Prince Charming, swiping right on everyone just to see who you match with is a great self-esteem booster when your lack of motivation has you feeling down.

3. Look at pictures of puppies on Google.

My personal obsession is videos of Doug the Pug, but googling videos of your favorite dog breed will instantly make you feel better.

4. Search drink recipes on Pinterest.

Even though you may never make or drink them, getting lost in the black hole of Pinterest drink recipes is always a good idea (they just have such funny names!).

5. Make yourself a snack.

Because re-energizing will make you more productive, right? Probably not, but it’s worth a shot.

6. Bother your roommate.

If you can't be productive, might as well drag your roommate down with you.

7. Starbucks run.

Exhausted and stressed? Caffeine is the answer…

8. Take a nap.

When you're too stressed to function you can nap for an hour…or four, whatever happens happens.

9. Paint your nails.

Sure, no one's going to see them but anything's better than reading a chapter of your boring, insanely overpriced text book.

10. Call mom and dad.

Nothing makes me miss home more than drowning in responsibilities, papers and readings.

11. Online shopping.

Even if I only have $2 in my bank account, online shopping is the perfect way to avoid my responsibilities.

12. Dance it out.

Like from the holy grail, "Grey's Anatomy," when things get too hard, take a break and dance it out!

13. Complain to your friends about how much you have you to do.

Of course, this won't accomplish anything, but might as well spread your misery around. After all, what are friends for?

14. Download a pointless game onto your phone.

Nothing benefits your education more than playing Kanye West's new app. I mean c'mon, I could win a pair of Yeezy's!

15. Facebook stalk that guy..his brother…his mom…cousins…etc.

The real way to a guy's heart is through knowing every detail of his Spring Break 2013, and all about his grandma's big 80th birthday party.

16. Take pictures of yourself with EVERY Snapchat filter.

Ever wonder what you'd look like as a dog, an alien or barfing out a rainbow? Me neither, but it sure is fun wasting time to find out.

17. Watch makeup tutorials on YouTube.

I'll probably never be able to do my eye makeup like that and will have no reason to, but it's cool to watch you do it YouTube beauty gurus.

18. Making a to-do list of all the things you need to do.

In the time it takes to make you a list of everything you need to do, you probably could've knocked out at least a reading or two, but at least you're organized.

19. Checking your grades to see if you really need to do the homework.

And, as a last resort…how necessary is the homework. Remember my friends, Cs get degrees.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
