There are many things in the world that I enjoy doing, and I like to think that I am pretty good at some of them. However, there is one thing that I am an absolute expert at: procrastination. When it comes to school assignments, I’m pretty good about keeping with a schedule, but not always. There are somethings that I can push off to the very last minute. We all know and understand the rushed panic of trying to meet a deadline for turning in a paper. It’s not a pleasant experience. Nonetheless, as long as there is education to be had, there will also be found students putting their work off.

Without further adieu, here are fifty-two things I do (and you can too!) instead of what I’m actually supposed to:

1. Clean my room

2. Count my change

3. Start reading a new book

4. Set aside new book after three chapters

5. Watch a new TV show on Netflix

6. Finish the TV show on Netflix

7. Bake cookies

8. Write a journal entry

9. Make my bed

10. Plan out a road trip across America

11. Calculate how much money I need to go to Disney World

12. Begin a sketch

13. Listen to music

14. Re-arrange my shoes

15. Give myself a facial

16. Floss my teeth

17. See what the cast of ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ looks like today

18. Go online shopping

19. Imagine impossible scenarios

20. Paint my nails

21. Take out the garbage

22. Go for a run

23. Spend hours on Pinterest

24. Decide that you WILL try out that DIY asap

25. Fail at said DIY

26. Plan your wedding

27. Think of a name for the dog you’ll get five years from now

28. Watch videos of babies laughing

29. Attempt couple’s yoga (have a third friend film, because, it’s hilarious)

30. Make weird faces in the mirror

31. Attempt to understand politics

32. Print and frame some photographs

33. Drink a cup of coffee

34. Read fanfiction from your favorite fandom

35. Read the dictionary. Especially the ‘Z’ section.

36. Count to 43 in French

37. Try and remember 10^th grade Geometry

38. Wonder who decides which artists are considered great

39. Look up dad jokes on the internet

40. Write a letter to your friend that lives across the country

41. Make a list of things you need for an upcoming trip

42. Play 52 Card Pick-Up

43. Play Monopoly with the actual rules

44. Learn a few phrases in Italian

45. Sing along with the Highschool Musical soundtrack

46. Laugh at baby Zac Efron

47. Swoon at current Zac Efron

48. Practice your princess wave (like Mia from ‘The Princess Diaries’)

49. Play with the filters on Instagram

50. Clean out your purse (or backpack)

51. Practice your autograph for when you become famous

52. Lastly, make a 52 point list of all the things you shouldn’t be doing right now

As you can see, some of the things that I do are actually really productive, but they are still just there to push off what I really should be doing.

Good luck in your own endeavors, and happy procrastination to you!
