From The Procrastinator Who'd Rather Do These 15 Things Over Picking Up A Textbook

I'd honestly rather bathe my cat.

Sarah Holliman

Being in college is hard. In most classes, it takes a lot of effort as a student to achieve a decent and passing grade. I’m almost positive that I’ve been told by every single one of my professors not to put assignments off. I tell myself that this week will be different, but it never is. Here is a condensed list of all the things I’d rather do than read my textbook.

1. Watch cute cat videos.

I love all cute animals, but I could watch cat videos all day! They are such smart creatures, but they’re not always that bright. Everyone knows someone with a crazy cat.

2. Find better memes.

Caption this, okay go! My boyfriend is constantly sending me new funny memes. I try to stay a step ahead of him at all times.

3. Scroll through every single social media account I have.

I know I can’t be the only one who will stay on Facebook for hours just to put off studying. I can for real go from watching a touching dog/owner reunion to watching a slow loris eating a rice ball.

4. Play my online farm game.

I get a reward for every solid hour of playtime, and so far I’ve been awarded 82 of those. While I’m playing my farm game, the time is not displayed on my screen so I really have no idea how long I’ve been playing until I manually look to see what time it is.

5. Watch "American Idol" audition videos.

I enjoy watching the audition rounds. Some people think that they’re going to blow the judges out of the water, but it’s the ones who have no idea how talented they are that make the show worth it.

6. Search me on Google.

Has anyone else ever done this? I like to see what actually pertains to me, because most of it pertains to another Sarah Holliman who is an older blonde. Crazy that there are so many people out there with the same name.

7. Give my cat a bath.

Her face is the only caption I need here.

8. Take selfies with my cat.

Cricket deserves all the pets. She also loves to cover up my double chin for me.

9. Go walking with my dog.

Basil is the best boy who deserves all the walks. I don’t always want to leave my bed, but I try to make sure he gets exercise when the weather is nice.

10. Take selfies with my dog.

He may not act amused here, but he actually likes having his picture taken.

11. Take naps.

Cuddling with my best boy>>>anything school related. He makes it so hard to leave for class every morning.

12. Hang out with my friends.

I’d much rather have great conversation and fun times with my friends than study. I value my relationships more than my future at times, and that can be a problem.

13. Travel anywhere else and not come back.

I just want to see everything there is to see in the world. If I could take a few years off of everything and just travel, I would be so happy. Just look at this bench next to a freaking mountain. One day I could say that I sat on that very bench.

14. Clean out my closet.

Seriously, I don’t know why I do this, but for some reason, I would rather clean out my closet at 3 a.m. than study anything in my textbooks. I will find just about anything to do before I’ll actually sit down and study.

15. Fall off a cliff.

This is a joke, but still. You can’t spell “studying” without “dying.”

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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
