10 Ways To Procrastinate Studying For Your Finals

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!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
