The days get longer and your sandals are breaking out of your closet; Summer is just around the corner. But first you must somehow get through every procrastinator's worst nightmare: finals week.

But, have no fear! With the help of these simple steps, you can avoid studying for as long as reasonably possible.

1. Netflix.

Every hardcore procrastinator knows that Netflix is the best fix. Not only are there thousands of movies and TV shows available, but you don’t even have to click on your computer to jump to the next episode after the first one is finished. And let’s face it, once you’ve seen the first few minutes of a new episode of the show you’ve been binging, there’s no stopping you.

2. Eat.

Getting daily nutrition is super important, and there’s no better way to put off studying for an exam than spending some time at the dining hall or a few minutes at the vending machine picking your favorite snack. Besides, you’re going to need energy to study anyways.

3. Go to the gym.

So the snacking got out of hand and you never actually started studying. Going to the gym will not only clear your mind and relieve stress, but help counteract all the Chex-Mix you just scarfed down. Perfect procrastination technique.

4. Online bathing suit shopping.

Now you’re back at your laptop, feeling great after the gym. You could open up your study guide, but summer break is soon, and your entire vacation to Mexico will have been a waste if you don’t post any cute pictures on the beach in a brand new bikini. Take a quick tour around the Victoria’s Secret website.

5. Search for summer plans.

If you procrastinate about life the same way you procrastinate about schoolwork, you haven’t even begun to think about what you’ll be doing this summer. Now’s a great time to look for jobs or cheap vacations.

6. Call your family.

Family is most important. I mean, who’s paying for your college education anyways? Call your mom/ dad/ grandma/ anyone who you’ve been putting off chatting with during your hectic college life. Now’s the perfect opportunity to remind your family you’re thinking of them (and not your schoolwork)!

7. Clean your room.

After hanging up, you realize your room is a mess. Grandma would definitely not approve. Maybe a quick load of laundry will jump start your full day of studying.

8. Go out and party.

By the time the sun goes down and your phone starts buzzing with plans, let’s face it, you won't get much work done anyway. Take a break from your desk, put some lipstick on and go to that party with your friends. Of course, by tomorrow you’ll be completely focused and ready to go!

9. Chat in the library.

The library on Sunday morning is filled with hung-over procrastinators who will be delighted to chat with you about all the work they have not been doing.

10. Organize your notes.

So you’re starting to seriously stress about finals and the three thesis papers you have due this week. Organizing your notes is a great way to get involved with the enormous amount of work you still need to do without actually doing any of it.

11. Just do it.

At some point, you need to tell yourself that enough is enough and it’s time to get to work. Sit down (after grabbing some coffee of course) and open up your book. Make some flashcards, study with a group, set goals, and get it done. Summer break is on the horizon! So get motivated with the thought of ace-ing your finals to start to a relaxing summer.
