Let’s face it: no one wants to study for their midterm or write that 10-page research paper. So what do we studious college students do instead? Procrastinate. Everyone is guilty of putting something off until the last minute, but sometimes the guilt can become too much to handle. If this is the case for you, here are some ways to procrastinate that are actually productive in some way, so you can put off that history paper for just a little longer.

1. Clean.

Whether you tidy up your room, vacuum, or finally do those dishes that have piled up for a while, cleaning can be a great way to be productive when you’re trying to actually not be productive. Plus, if your house isn’t a mess, maybe people will start to believe that you aren’t a mess.

2. Take a shower.

Odds are, if it’s already a stressful week, you may be starting to attract flies. Take a break from studying from that impossible o-chem test and wash your hair for the first time in a few days.

3. Go grocery shopping.

Odds are you’ve been so preoccupied that you’ve been living off of ramen and takeout rather than actually going shopping for the essentials. Don’t forget to get healthy snacks for your late-night cram session at the library.

4. Apply for a summer job or internship.

You’re going to need money to spend on takeout and junk food for next year, so get to looking for those ways to roll in the dough this summer.

5. Hit the gym.

Even if you haven’t been all year. It’s never too late to work on that bikini bod. Plus, that increased blood flow to the brain will make your future study session even better.

6. Call your mom.

Odds are it’s been a while since you’ve talked to her, so call her up and remind her how much you love her (just maybe don’t mention your paper due tomorrow. You want to procrastinate, not get a lecture about the problems with procrastinating).

7. Take a nap.

Sleep is important, and who knows how much sleep you'll get once you're off in the real world with a real job?

8. Get coffee with that cute guy (or girl) that sits next to you in biology.

You know, that one that you talk to instead of listening to the lecture. Maybe you found a new study partner. Maybe he’s even majoring in something with a really high-paying career field, so you can just get your Mrs. Degree (kidding). But just make sure to take a shower first.
