60 Things I Could Do Instead Of My Homework

I’m literally sitting here trying to finish my homework while thinking about things I could be doing instead of writing this essay. To be honest, I’ve probably already done most of these things on the list at some point instead of homework. I mean, I took the time to create this list, so I might as well follow through on some of the achievable ones and procrastinate even longer. Actually, you’re probably supposed to be doing homework right now too. High-five for procrastination!

1. Eat ice cream.

2. Put hot fudge, M&M’s and sprinkles on my ice cream.

3. Creep on my childhood best friend’s boyfriend’s Instagram.

4. Play a nice, long match of tennis with my friends.

5. Hunt down a campus cat and make it love me.

6. Sit on a bench outside to people-watch, and try to guess what they had for breakfast. (Squirrel watching applies here, too.)

7. Go shopping for things that I don’t really need.

8. Go to Bed, Bath & Beyond and take naps on all the beds that are on display.

9. Turn on my Spotify and jam out to some newly-discovered tunes.

10. Finish up "The Office" on Netflix.

11. Finish up that other show I started last year on Netflix, whatever it’s called. It’s gotta be on my Recently Played somewhere in there.

12. Grab a cup of coffee. Maybe even invite a friend to join for a second cup.

13. Give someone a reverse high-five. Not sure what that is, but I’ll figure it out when it happens.

14. Fill up my empty water bottle that’s sitting next to me.

15. Grab a bag of Doritos, veg on the futon and watch movies for the rest of the night.

16. Buy a lottery ticket…or two, just in case the first one doesn’t win.

17. Daydream about going on a date.

18. Try on cute outfits, just in case I end up going on a date anytime soon.

19. Attempt to draw the Eiffel Tower because dates make me think about Paris.

20. Vacuum my room and pick up my clothes.

21. Skip down the hallway until someone comes out to ask me what I’m doing.

22. Practice doing different makeup tricks, because who knows when I’ll need to perfect the wing?

23. Tell myself that I already have the eye-liner wing perfected.

24. Text my best friend to tell her that I’m making a list of things I could be doing instead of homework.

25. Play obnoxious music and leave my door open to annoy everyone else doing homework. (We’re all on the procrastination train together, right?)

26. Call my brother and ask him how his weekend was.

27. Make myself some hot chocolate.

28. Trim that little pointy edge of my fingernail that has been bothering me for the past few days.

29. Color in the coloring book that my mom got me for Christmas.

30. Re-paint my fingernails with every color that I brought with me to college.

31. Reorganize my closet and refold all of my T-shirts.

32. Think about what homework I should be doing for the weekend that I’ll probably end up putting off until Sunday anyway.

33. Think about how much productive time this list is wasting.

34. Keep writing it so I don’t have to go back to doing homework.

35. Daydream about how good the sunshine feels on my skin and how much cuter and happier everything is in the summer.

36. Grab dinner with some friends.

37. Go on Pinterest to plan my dream wedding.

38. Play Candy Crush or Temple Run…or maybe both.

39. Take a trip to the Pet Store and hold some kitties.

40. Finish reading the book I brought with me.

41. Turn the bathroom’s radio up all the way.

42. Take a long, hot shower.

43. Make a trip over to the other residence halls to check out their dining options.

44. Have a karaoke session with my floor.

45. Reminisce on pictures from that awesome family vacation a couple years ago.

46. Post an embarrassing picture of myself just to see the reactions I’d get.

47. Decide not to do that because embarrassing pictures are embarrassing and would most likely be used for black-mail from my friends in the future.

48. Scroll through Vine to find something to laugh hysterically about that really isn’t even that funny.

49. French braid my hair.

50. French braid my best friend’s hair.

51. Get on Instagram to see how many people liked my most recent post.

52. Share that video on Facebook of cats that are scared of cucumbers.

53. Watch whatever show is on Disney Channel right now.

54. Hypothetically plan my dream trip to Vegas for my 21st.

55. Watch a Jenna Marbles video on YouTube.

56. Decide that she’s actually super funny and subscribe to her channel.

57. Go on the elevator and press every button to piss people off.

58. Realize that probably wasn’t the best idea I’ve had and get off on the next floor.

59. Start a toilet paper fight with the person in the stall next to me.

60. Realize that it’s already past my bedtime and close my computer.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
