10 Things You Didn't Know Were Fun Until You Did Them To Avoid Responsibility

College students are master procrastinators. We could make a legitimate career out of this if such a career existed. I have noticed myself falling into a procrastination pit of despair and I thought I would compile a list of things that I find completely enamoring when I am attempting to avoid all responsibility.

1. Swiffer-ing

Wet mopping or dry sweeping? You can do both with the Swiffer Sweeper! How dandy! Of course you have to take advantage of this modern technology!

2. Planning your life

That planner that you usually don't look at? Oh yeah, it's super important. You should write down everything you plan to do in the next month, complete with times, before you forget!

3. Updating your computer

Oh, the new operating system is going to take an hour to update? Well, you have to do it eventually and you don't want to get stuck doing it when you have something really important to do! Definitely get that pesky update out of the way now!

4. Doing dishes

Well, that cup that hasn't been washed in 6 months is surely dirty and probably moldier than you'd like to admit, but there's no time like the present to clean that nasty beverage holder!

5. Googling videos of glass blowing

Why, you ask? Why not?

6. ROYGBIV-ing your underwear drawer

You don't have to work at a lingerie store to want drawers that look just as sexy as what is in them. Go ahead and rainbow the hell out of that thing!

7. Going through old photos

This is fun anyway, but you can go WAY back in time now because you might forget the next time your family is around.

8. Calling family members that you haven't talked to recently

You were going to call them eventually, but why not do it now when you have your 10+ page paper to complete in 5 hours?

9. Shaving

Those legs resemble Chewbacca more and more every day, ya nasty! Go shave them before you start making weird noises.

10. Checking Facebook

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast ā€œBirthdayā€ on anyoneā€™s birthday. I knew all of the words to ā€œBack In The U.S.S.Rā€ by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. Iā€™m not someone to ā€œfangirlā€ but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
