Here are 11 different things that you could be doing that may qualify as a better use of your time than doing your boring homework.
1. Reading all of the top stories on the side of your Facebook feed
When the teacher asks you if you read, you can say yes. Because, technically, you did. Just, you know, not for your “class.”
2. Making a halfhearted attempt to clean your room
This basically turns into you dumping the pile of clothes on your bed onto the already massive pile of clothes on your desk chair. At least you don’t have to sleep in your closet anymore.
3. Taking a quasi-nap
*Shuts eyes for fifteen minutes ... checks phone ... nobody has contacted me in my life ever ... tries to sleep ... gets hungry*
4. Asking your neighbors how their weekends were
Can you tell that I’m desperately trying to drag this conversation out for as long as possible even though I wouldn’t really particularly care to hear about the intricacies of your drama with your best friend's cousin's boyfriend.
5. Clipping your toenails
This is very important. If you don’t clip your toenails, they’ll be all long and gross and you’ll get ingrown nails and stubbing your toe will be ten times more painful. Your health is at stake.
6. Getting a midnight dinner
You ate six hours ago. Six hours! Sure, you cleared out all of your dorm room snacks in the meantime, but you deserve a little pick-me-up after just staring at your computer f.
7. Texting friends who you haven’t spoken to in months
“Hey! What’s up? I know I deleted you off most social media after graduation, but I’d love to catch up.”
8. Sitting in the library and pretending to be productive
They don’t know you’ve been watching videos of sloths for an hour.
9. Playing weird, obscure games on your laptop
What’s mahjong? Well, it’s free, so we’re about to find out.
10. Deciding that today is the day you’re going to go to the gym
*Stays at gym for two minutes. Gets anxiety from seeing all of the athletes. Runs away and eats snacks while looking in the mirror and sobbing.*
11. Actually doing your laundry
Haha, just kidding...who wants to do laundry?
