I swear laziness is in my blood. It comes so natural to me, like a natural born talent, something I actually don't have to work at. I'm so confused when people tell me they can't sit still and watch TV or read a book or just sit on the couch and be on your phone or computer. What? That's a thing? You actually have to work at...doing nothing? They, in turn, start to look at me like I'm the weird one, like I'm the one they should pity. Mmmmm..no. I'm not the one running around going crazy because I have all these tasks that need to get done. I mean do all their tasks on that busy schedule real tasks? Are you sure they just didn't think of something else to add like Drop Of Dry Cleaning For The Blazer I Wore Once? Who does that? Who even drops of dry cleaning?
1. Well Rested
First and foremost, those who are more lazy than their fellow peers tend to be well rested. They aren't the ones walking around yawning all the time and complaining about how tired they are. We actually sit down and enjoy the comforts of not doing anything.
2. Beauty Sleep
While we're at it, beauty sleep is probably the best part about being lazy. Generally, those of us to practice the art of lazy sleep more often. We don't have bags under our eyes as we walk around with our caffeinated beverages, wondering how in the world we'll make the rest of the day. Under eye cream? No, that's called sleep.
3. Stress Free...Mostly
Laziness=Stress Free...at least, most of the time. We aren't running around stressed out because we have all these deadlines and goals that we have to reach. Eh..we're cool to just sit back and relax. I mean don't get me wrong, figuring out which Netflix show to watch next can be pretty stressful, but we'll manage somehow.
4. Best Sweats
Those of us who are wearing sweats or, as I've dubbed them "comfy clothes", are experts when it comes to the ultimate lounging experience. Not only do we have the best shorts/spanx/sweats/leggings, but the best tank top/t-shirt/sweatshirt combo. Lets not forget fuzzy socks. I swear I have a million of them stuffed in my drawer and I'm always looking for new ones.
5. Best Blankets
The best "comfy clothes" have to go with the best blankets. I mean, really, do you think we just use whatever is around? No. They might not all look the same or be the same, but we all have a designated lounging blanket. And if we see a roommate/ family member using said blanket, your inner Golum comes out and it's not very pretty.
6. Up on the Latest Netflix Binge
Nothing like sitting back, relaxing, and watching 14 hours straight of Stranger Things. The great part about being a bit more lazy than those around you, is your on the up and up on all things Netflix (and let's not forget HGTV. Fixer Upper anyone?). The new season Fuller House came out on Netflix? You're so there. Updated on all things Orange is the New Black? You fountain of knowledge, you.
7. Troll The Internet
Those of us who use our time wisely and do all things lazy are trolling around on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc. You are the first to know Trump's latest Tweet and are the first to comment on it. You've got your Pinterest Boards categorized and have those delicious looking Pins saved on your recipe board for those times you think you might actually cook. You even manage to spare some time for the occasional Facebook "discussion" which we all know is actually a rant and not at all friendly.
Let's face it. While these are FANTASTIC, being lazy every day is...tiring. I start to get anxious and think about all the things I haven't gotten done yet. You have to admit, it feels really good when you accomplish something like homework, taxes, laundry, or just putting your dishes in the sink. And maybe, possibly, I am a bit envious of those who are active all the time. It's just so tiring to keep up with them. That's when I usually change into my sweats, curl up in my ultra soft blanket, and pull out my book.
