Procrastination is the downfall of even the strongest students, so the season the of finals is hitting everyone right where it hurts. In an effort to ease the stress, everyone is coming up with ridiculous excuses not to study. Here is a list of things we are all doing to avoid each dreaded 500 page textbook:

1. Cleaning your room even though it's already clean.

2. Calling your parents.

They do miss you, but maybe interrupting their sleep in the name of procrastination isn't a good idea.

3. Oh, they didn't pick up, maybe it's time to talk to that one friend that you met two summers ago at camp.

It's been awhile, but maybe it should stay that way.

4. Making up for all the exercise you didn't do this year.

But maybe don't try to do it all in one night.

5. Getting something to eat.

But instead of consulting your fridge or going to the cafeteria you decide to get food from the really obscure hole-in-the-wall across town that doesn't deliver.

Stay strong kids, don't let procrastination win.
