Since the time of my first home work assignment (circa. 2002- first grade), I learned early the art of procrastination. Growing up I became chronically late for every event and was always on my own time, so naturally homework too became something to put off until later. As college came the procrastination became worst…so bad in fact I decided to put off studying for my sociology test tomorrow by writing a list of things to do instead.
- Eat. Any food is acceptable. Maybe make a five-course meal if you’re really trying to put off those calculus problems.
- Sleep. Because eight hours wasn’t enough.
- Netflix...and chill if you’re into that... but hey regardless, those “Grey’s Anatomy” episodes won’t watch themselves.
- Call your mom. Or dad, or grandma, or best friend from home, or your brother’s girlfriend’s mom… just dial a random number and have a nice chat to ignore the fact you have a research paper due Monday.
- Fill out your planner. You paid $40 for a Lilly Planner, you should use it to your full advantage…write down your daily schedule for the next 17 months.
- Post on Instagram. Bid day was a week ago, you had a date party last night, it’s your Big’s birthday, you have a political science test tomorrow- the reasons for gramming are endless.
- Twitter. Because you had to know that frat boy was “Sooooo ready for formal in Fratlinburg."
- Facebook. Similar to the twitter reasoning, how would you know your second cousin made pasta for dinner without checking your newsfeed?.
- Do laundry. Your hamper has been overflowing for a week, come on.
- Organize your room. Your roommate is actually not okay with your stuff being on her side. Prevent an outburst and clean up.
- Online shop. This is obvious.
- Brush your teeth. Dental hygiene is important!.
- Take a shower. Regular hygiene is important!.
- Go out. You’re only in college once.
- Write an Odyssey article about ways to procrastinate. What a dumb idea...
