We’ve all done it, put off our work until the absolute last minute to do our projects and rush to get them done. Though we all procrastinate, there are all different methods of doing so. Here are some ways we all procrastinate.

1. Watching random yet funny videos on YouTube

Always a good way to kill time and put off all of your work.

2. Cleaning

Every time I need to get something done, I end up cleaning my entire apartment before I start the project that actually needs to get done.

3. Conversing with your roommates

Starting a mediocre conversation about nothing and getting really passionate about it in order to try and kill time.

4. Mess with social media on your phone or laptop

Probably the most common way to procrastinate for anybody. Looking up what everyone else is doing just makes it really easy to get distracted by what you are supposed to be doing.

5. Over-speculation of random thoughts that cross your mind

Looking back over your life and every choice you have ever made really makes time fly when you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing.

6. Taking more time than necessary to get weirdly comfortable before starting your work

You can’t get anything done until you are comfortable enough to work.

7. Getting organized

I swear that I spend more time organizing my stuff than I spend actually working.

8. Finding a lot of other things that you think need done but don’t

Other assignments, grocery shopping, putting laundry away; anything other than what you are actually supposed to be doing.

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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

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!
