35 Ways To Procrastinate

Do you have something you're avoiding?

1. Go on Facebook

If you don't use it- redownload that dusty app and start adding to your profile. If you are an avid Facebook-er then log on and get comfy. Don't hesitate to watch every cute dog video, every epic fail video, or stalk whoever shows up on your timeline.

2. Try a new hairstyle

Just because you can.

3. Go on Instagram

Go 485 days back and like every single post. Better yet, comment on every post.

4. Start writing a story

5. Read a book

6. Watch all of the Lord of the Rings Movies

And then read the books.

7. Then read all of Harry Potter books

And then watch the movies.

8. Netflix

Chill if you choose.

9. Take a bubble bath

Choose a nice candle and enjoy.

10. Google bad puns

Send the worst to your best friends and the rest to anyone in your contact book named Mark.

11. Brush your teeth

You can never have too good of hygiene.

12. Decorate your room

13. Start a craft

I suggest looking on Pinterest for "inspiration".

14. Shop online

Nothing like a little retail therapy.

15. Become a writer for Odyssey

Add another task to your plate so that you can avoid the other stuff!

16. Workout?

If you're into that...

17. Go for a walk

18. Make Mac N Cheese

It takes longer than easy mac which means more time away from whatever you're supposed to be doing.

19. Try on all of your clothes

20. Explore Spotify

Listen to music you normally wouldn't.

21. Practice winged eyeliner

If you're into that...

22. Cry

it relieves the stress

23. Take a nap

You shouldn't need to be persuaded to sleep more.

24. Get something pierced

Sorry Mom.

25. Eat.

Everything and anything that is in your line of sight

26. Debate the pronunciation of Gif

27. Sit and watch paint dry

Once you feel light headed from the fumes, walk away.

28. Catch a butterfly

It might take a few hours, especially if it's winter.

29. Call your Mom

Don't tell her you are procrastinating though (sorry again Mom)

30. Color in an adult coloring book

Or a children's one if thats all you can find / spend your money on

31. Buy a Lego kit

Assemble it too.

32. Watch all of your friends Snapchat stories

Watch every second- NO SKIPPING AROUND. Learn from DJ Khaled and get a head rub while you're at it.

33. Learn how to play an instrument

If you don't already play one

34. Play your instrument

If you can.

35. Turn on your local sports team

Watch the game whether you understand sports or not.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
