8 Of The Best Ways To Procrastinate
My Time Management

I am not saying you should do these. Don’t get me wrong though, procrastinating can be 1. So much fun and 2. Super productive sometimes. Procrastination gets a bad rep. It doesn’t have to be like that. Here are 8 of the best ways to procrastinate in a good way. I mean, as good a procrastinating can get.

  1. Responding to emails: You always open the emails and never respond during the week. Take the time that you should be doing other things and respond to all of those important emails. Even some of the unimportant ones too. I mean while you’re at it?
  2. Doing your laundry: I know that is one of the worst chores to do, but sometimes it is better than doing that computer science homework you have. You also get clean clothes out of it too. That’s fun
  3. Changing your sheets: I know so far all of my suggestions have been various different chores that you know you should really be doing on the weekend. But I am telling you the key to productive procrastination is to make sure you do the stuff that has been on your to-do list since last weekend. Even though it isn’t the homework you’re really supposed to be doing, you still get to feel ok about it when you get into your freshly made bed at an absurd hour of the night because you decided to do that instead of your homework.
  4. Go off campus for a snack: That’s just fun. Snacks. Off campus. Driving. Music. That’s so fun.
  5. Making a playlist: The irony is spending 45 minutes making a studying playlist while you should really be studying…
  6. Going for a walk/run: Obviously whichever suits you but the weather has been unreal lately. Getting out there and getting fit is a great way to avoid the massive amounts of responsibility that are waiting in the library for you.
  7. Ordering different things from Starbucks: If the line is 10 minutes long and then you wait for your drink for 5 and socialize for 5 more. That’s a 20 minute break plus caffeine that is probably only going to help you procrastinate more.
  8. Getting an update about EVERYONE’S weekend: Even people you aren’t very close to. Why not see how they are doing? How was their weekend? Anything new and newsy? Now, you are more informed but more behind on the work than ever. Priorities.

Clearly I am too good at procrastinating. I am actually doing it right now. Gotta sign off. More behind than ever.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
