10 Ways To Procrastinate Studying For Your Finals

In This Article:

You are lying if you say that you did not procrastinate at least a little bit. Us college kids will always get the job done eventually, but procrastination is always tempting to succumb to when studying for finals.

Here are 10 ways I procrastinated while studying for my finals this semester.

(don't try this at home)

1. YouTube

I'm such a sucker for YouTube. It's so easy to get wrapped up in with new videos constantly being released. I spent some solid hours watching David Dobrik instead of studying Marketing.

2. Long chats with friends

THIS is the kicker. My room has been deemed a black hole, because hours slip by like minutes. My roommates and I can chat for what feels like 30 minutes, but it ends up being 3 hours.

3. Car rides

Another one. Oops. My buddies and I drove around for wayyy too long during finals week listening to Without Me, Mona Lisa, and thank u, next. All on repeat. All during prime study time.

4. Online shopping

Do I ever buy anything? No. But it's a great distraction from homework!

5. Snacking

Hugeeee dark chocolate almond butter enthusiast.

6. Working out

This is a productive study break… right? I'd go work out just so I could avoid studying.

7. Target runs

Target is another black hole. I could easily spend a whole day in that place and never get bored.

8. Game days

If it's a Saturday in Athens, I'm not studying. That's just an unspoken rule.

9. Christmas decorating

I LOVE Christmas decorations. They make a room look so much happier, and I'm about it.

10. Netflix

I'm usually tempted more by YouTube, but Grey's Anatomy is a great way to put off studying! (It's kind of educational?)

Look, this makes me look bad, but I swear I studied. Even though I did procrastinate here and there ;)

Happy studying to everyone still grinding on finals! You got this!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
