31 Ways to Keep On Procrastinating
Wikipedia

Do you wait until the last minute to do everything? Do you hate being productive? Do you wish you could avoid your to-do list for forever? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are probably a procrastinator. And if there's one thing I know about procrastination, it's that we love to do it. So here are 31 different ways you can continue to procrastinate.

1. Teach yourself how to blow a bubble gum bubble

You could spend a decent half hour doing just that.

2. Figure out how long you can hold your breath

3. Facebook stalk that guy you once saw in the cafeteria and thought was cute

Should take you some time to find him, but I'm sure you will because women are like detectives with that sh*t.

4. Practice your autograph when you are famous

5. Wikipedia the most random thing you can think of

Like an avocado!

6. Learn the art of Origami

Who doesn't need a hundred of those paper swans lying around their room?

7. Attempt to finally get that six-pack

....of beer.

8. Teach yourself how to do the cup song

And then do it over, and over, and over again.

9. Build a blanket fort, like when you were a kid


10. Go sit in the grass and people watch

You might be surprised what you'll witness

11. Search for houses and apartments you could never afford in cities you'll never visit

12. Message your best friend from elementary school and tell her all about what you've been up to

13. Watch a YouTube makeup tutorial even though you can't afford half of the products used


14. Order a pizza

I mean, who doesn't love to eat pizza?!

15. Sort your closet by color and then realize you own way too many black items


16. Create a list of all the books you've always wanted to read, and then never read them

17. Look at old pictures from high school and reminisce on how much you hated everyone

18. Initiate a texting conversation using only emojis and see how long it lasts

19. Teach yourself to play Beethoven on the piano

20. Come up with a cool name for that mixtape you'll never drop

21. Try all the Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors to see which one's your favorite


22. See if you can figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop

23. Write a song about the first thing that comes to your mind

...So, naturally, I wrote a song about d*ck.


24. Create a list of possible names for your future children

25. Paint each of your fingernails a different color

...And then remove it all because you look like a walking rainbow.

26. Pretend the floor in your room is lava

You're never too old for this one.

27. Go onto Google Earth and decide where you're going to build your future home


28. Binge watch Shark Tank

Be honest, you've done it before

29. Learn how to twerk


30. Re-Watch that one Netflix series you've already seen three different times

For me, it's The Office and FRIENDS.

31. Write out a To-Do list for the next two weeks

...And then decide you'll complete it later.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
