Waiting until the last second to do papers and assignments can be a fun adventure! I have spent many years becoming a pro at procrastinating, consequently I have learned that there are so many ways to make procrastinating fun, de-stressing, and occasionally a little productive too. So if you want to procrastinate like the pros, here is a list a things you can do while procrastinating!
1. Spotify
I know that I am not alone when I say I have spent hours at a time on Spotifly. It is so easy to kill a few hours by making playlists, discovering new music and listening to your guilty pleasure. I mean, how could you even start to study if you don't have a playlist that fits your current mood?
2. Online Shopping
Not only can you spend hours online shopping, its also great for when you want to spend money but don't have it. You can load up an online cart with a million things then just close out and go to a new site!
3. Go to the Gym
Getting to the gym can be difficult, especially to find the time or motivation to go. So working out is a great way to be healthy while procrastinating! It can also get that extra energy out and help you focus when you actually get around to studying.
4. Take a walk
Taking a walk can lead to a fun mini adventure! Whether you go for a walk in your neighborhood or around campus, you never know what opportunities will arise or who you'll see.
5. Hang out with friends
You are always destined to have fun and make memories when you get together with some friends! So go grab a cup of coffee or head to a cheap diner!
6. Cruise the internet
There are a million and one things you can do or read online, including The Odyssey! Charge your computer or tablet, and hit the internet. You never know what you might find!
7. Call home
It is easy to spend hours on the phone talking to everyone back home. Calling home and talking to your family is something you can never do too often. Pick up the phone and call home!
8.Do your laundry
It is no secret that every college kid has a hidden stash of dirty clothes somewhere in their room, so now is a chance to do it ! And maybe your room will smell fresher too.
9. Play games
Whether its the latest game on the app store or Cards Against Humanity with some friends, playing games are both fun and helpful unwind from the stress of school! Plus, when you play with friends you can make some great memories.
10. Netflix
There isn't much to say here, because Netflix is one of the most popular ways people procrastinate. It is a great chance to discover and watch new shows!
11. Take a Nap
If you ever hear a college kid say they are well rested, they are most likely going crazy. The one thing college is good for is never being able to sleep enough. Along with keeping you awake during class, taking a nap will feel as good as it sounds. So what a better go to for procrastinating then taking a nap, and maybe have a dream or two of that classmate that caught your eye
