Things I'd Rather Do Instead Of Homework

We're at that point in the semester where we have a ton of homework but no motivation to do it. So here's to all you procrastinators, let me know if this list is accurate.

Clean my room

They say that a clean working environment makes you more productive, so I should clean my room before I do my homework right? Yes, but it only works if you actually clean your room instead of starting and getting distracted by all the cool things you forgot you lost.

Check social media

And by social media, I mean all of it. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, and whatever else you have. It helps you stay involved while wasting a solid hour of time that you should have spent doing homework but didn't.

Learn to cook

Attempting to do homework tends to make people hungry and it might be useful to know how to make something other than coffee and Ramen. And no, microwavable macaroni does not count.

Go outside

The weather has been amazing lately. Fall is in full swing (except in Florida) so why not go outside and enjoy it before the bitter cold keeps you indoors. Besides, fresh air is good for you.

Run errands

I have to do them anyway so might as well do it right now. And for the next few hours since I really don't want to write this paper/work on this project/whatever is it you're procrastinating on.

Watch Netflix

Or Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Whatever streaming service you have, chances are it's much better than actually completing the assignment that's due in the next few days. Especially if you're in the middle of binge watching.

Read Odyssey articles

Let's be real, they've grown on you a little. And there's one for every occasion, including procrastination. If you play your cards right, you might even be able to consider this "research," though I use that term very loosely.

Now that I'm done procrastinating on my own homework, it's time for you to do yours. Or click to the next article. Whatever floats your boat.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”
