Finding the motivation to do school work during the summer can be extremely difficult. When it comes to writing papers, working on projects, and studying for exams, you might find yourself doing everything you can think of besides your homework. While allowing your brain to take a break and do something that is relaxing, entertaining, or recreational is very important for your mental health, there comes a time when you have to admit that certain things you are doing fall under the category of procrastination.

Here are 10 things that definitely count as procrastination!

1. Watching Pixar movies.

This counts as procrastination if and only if you determine that it is necessary to watch all 18 movies over the course of a few weeks so each is fresh in your mind when you compile a list detailing why some of them are better than others. If you only watch your favorites a couple times over the summer, that is perfectly normal.

2. Checking Facebook...

...twelve times in one hour. You might seriously have to hide your Facebook app icon as far away from your home screen as possible to eliminate the temptation to just click it out of habit.

3. Playing Trivia Crack.

They weren't kidding. It's addictive.

4. Baking strawberries for 3 hours.

The video you saw online said they would taste just like Twizzlers--but they would be healthy! Procrastination at its finest.

5. Taking a nap.

Naps are nice. Getting a full night's sleep is better.

6. Volunteering to cut your brother's Humorous Interpretation piece.

While this is kind and helpful of you, it can definitely be done after you have studied sufficiently. Face it. This was just another ploy to watch Pixar movies.

7. Making a family tree.

Again, there is nothing inherently wrong about this. It's just not a wise thing to do the morning of a major exam.

8. Browsing the course catalog for next semester.

Unless you have not already scheduled your classes for the upcoming semester (which is a whole other procrastination issue), this can wait until after you've completed your class assignments for the day.

9. Comparing credits to see if it would be possible to change your major but never actually changing it.

This is the reason #8 is so bad.

10. Drinking a lot of water so you have to keep using the bathroom.

Don't pretend like you've never done this.

Hopefully this list put a smile on your face and encouraged you to find a balance between having fun and working hard. Happy studying!
