It's no secret, we all do it.

Association for Psychological Science

It is that time again. . .time for midterms. That also means it is time to procrastinate even more than we normally do because let's be honest, who actually studies for midterms more than the night before? (Don't worry mom, I definitely do not do this. . .) Sometimes we do not know what we want to do to procrastinate, we just know we do not want to do homework. Here is a list for the next time you wish to not study, or you just need to relax because the stress of midterms is getting to you.

1. Watch Newsies

I recommend the Broadway version, but the film is good too. But look, they dance on newspapers. . .what's more entertaining??

2. Color

Adult coloring books are literally the best.

3. Go to target

4. Pinterest


I mean this is the symbol for procrastination.

5. Do something for another class

Am I the only one that does this? Whenever I have something due for a class on Tuesday, I do homework for another class that isn't due till Saturday night because I just really do not want to do that paper or study due tomorrow.

6. Have a dance party

I do this way too often. Just ask my roommates.

7. Watch Kid President on Youtube

He will try to motivate you, but you'll end up watching his videos for an hour because he is just so cute and funny.

8. Listen to the Newsies soundtrack

I mean if you bake something you must eat it.

11. Walk around campus

Get those steps in. CNU is a small campus. . .maybe take a few laps around the great lawn.

12. Stalk yourself on Facebook

Makes me cringe every time.

13. Binge watch a new Netflix series

Make sure to pick one with lots of seasons.

14. Plan your wedding

Again Pinterest is amazing. Who doesn't have a wedding board?

15. Sleep

Does this one need an explanation?

16. Watch Newsies...again

I could watch this dude turn for days. I mean seriously, this show is amazing.

17. Write an article

Where do you think I got the idea for this article?

18. Make a list of what you need to do

And then not do anything on the list. At least you are one step closer.

19. Organize your Spotify playlists

This is an OCD person's dream; it's like Christmas morning.

20. Cry

I cry about how stressed I am and when I see how much I have to do. . .and then I cry later because I didn't do any of it. #circleofcollegelife

21. Text a friend and ask to hang out

If you text me, I'll suggest we watch Newsies together.

22. Do your laundry for once

I know your laundry basket is overflowing, just wash your clothes!

23. Literally, do nothing

Sit and stare at the wall.

24. Talk with your roomies

There is literally nothing better than laughing with your roommates at 1 in the morning.

Happy procrastinating!

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
