10 Things College Students Will Always Do To Procrastinate Studying

Tumblr

Spring break is now long gone and college students across the nation are getting hit hard by the mid-semester slump. With only a handful of weeks until summer break, everyone is crashing and no one wants to make the time to study. The procrastination sets in and it seems like the pile of schoolwork is only getting higher and higher. Whether it is checking Instagram, making food or calling your mom, we all procrastinate our studying at some point or another. Here are the 10 things we all do to procrastinate studying.

1. Watch Netflix

Binge watching Grey's Anatomy counts as studying for my Chem midterm, right?

2. Stalk Social Media

Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter. Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter. (The cycle can go on for hours)

3. Clean Our Rooms

There have been many times where I have deep cleaned my room just to put off the hours of studying ahead of me.

4. Make Food

Nothing like a late night snack to motivate you to study.

5. Online Shop

A new pair of leggings will make me work so much harder on my next Art History midterm.

6. Make Lists

Because I need to make extensive lists of what I have to study for before actually studying.

7. Call Your Family

Why yes Mom I am getting lots of studying done.

8. Plan Your Weekend

Making exciting plans for the weekend will definitely make me want to write this Literature paper due Friday at midnight.

9. Run Errands

Putting off studying to make a target run.

10. Study For Another Class

We've all done it, work on homework for another class even though you really need to study for your Econ test that is at 8 am tomorrow.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
