10 Ways To Procrastinate Studying For Your Finals
paige wilson

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
