26 Things I Did Instead Of My Homework

Another installation of me having no self control

Sep 19, 2016

Though it feels as if the semester has just only started, I have somehow already become buried in work and very behind. Every time a weekend comes up, I promise myself that I will finally get it together and catch up on everything so that the rest of the semester runs more smoothly. This weekend was another case of that. However, I have learned that this is almost always an empty promise to myself, and to prove it, here is a list of everything I did instead of study, on a Sunday night.

1. Finished watching Stranger Things on Netflix

2. Cleaned my room

3. Cleaned my entire apartment

4. Took a long shower

5. Cried about the drought

6. Called my mom

7. Annoyed my mom

8. Downloaded the entire discography of a band that I liked one song by

9. Went on wikipedia to learn everything about the band

10. Went on wikipedia to try and understand 2001: A Space Odyssey

11. Read multiple fan theories about the ending

12. Spent a while contemplating which one made the most sense

13. Spent a while getting angry at myself for letting it get this far

14. Vowed to make a change

15. Responded to some ~academic~ texts

16. Got distracted by Instagram

17. Ended up 142 weeks deep in a random girl's instagram

18. Got distracted by snapchat

19. Accidentally watched someone's story that I didn't want to

20. Got distracted by facebook

21. Threw my phone across the room because clearly I have no self control

22. Went to go make sure that I didn't damage my phone

23. Spent a while deciding what I wanted to listen to

24. Remembered that I downloaded the entire discography of that one band

25. Realized I only liked the one song I already had

26. Finally put on a good playlist and started to read

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

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.
