You know it is coming closer. It has been looming on your syllabus since the first day of class.
Test day.
And the only thing worse than tests is studying for them.
Thankfully, I am a professional procrastinator and here to help you decide what to do instead of studying. I mean, you will get it done eventually, right? You've got plenty of time to study. The test is not until tomorrow, anyway.
1. Eat.
I mean, eating is important. You need your brain food or there is no way you will be able to study. Eat up!
2. Sleep.
You need proper sleep so your brain will work. If you are not well rested, you cannot study.
A puppy or pillow will do -- whichever is closest.
3. Read a book or watch a movie.
Really, any form of content you like to consume, consume it! Books, movies, magazines, the Internet, people-watching your crazy across-the-street neighbors. Exposure to culture is good for you. It will keep you well-rounded and in the know. No one wants to be that person who cannot talk about the latest blockbuster movie because they were too busy studying to see it.
4. Learn circus tricks.
Just in case your major in underwater basket weaving does not work out.
Who hasn't fantasized about dropping out and running away to ride gracefully on elephants in sparkly costumes, like Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants? Even your pet can even join in on the action!
5. Go back through your texts.
Go over a conversation you had with someone you like, and over-analyze everything they ever said. "Hey?"What does that mean? He only used one 'y.' Does that mean he is just talking to me out of obligation because he actually hates me?
Your friends definitely will not mind that they are telling you the exact same thing about the exact same message that you both talked about a week ago.
6. Go shopping.
Online or in person. I mean, if you don't know that that super cute 75 percent off scarf from Ann Taylor Loft you saw in your email is sitting in your closet, and not in the store waiting to be bought, how can you really concentrate? Someone else might buy it before you can get there!
Blair gets it.
7. Train your pet.
Get your pet to do something cute and cool so you can become Internet famous and drop out of school and not have to take the test. It worked for Grumpy Cat.
8. Binge watch Netflix.
That show is just sitting in your queue. Staring at you. Shaming you. You really should catch up.
But really, we know you do this all the time, procrastination or not. It's ok.
9. Text every single person in your contacts and ask what they are doing.
If it sounds better than studying, which is probably will, you should join them! Taking breaks when you are studying is important.
Sure the breaks are supposed to be like 10 minutes, but who's counting?
10. Reorganize your entire apartment.
Studying requires the right atmosphere. Did you feng shui your apartment? That is probably why you are having such a hard time concentrating. It is not you, or the fact that you are studying something you cannot imagine ever being useful.
There can always be more room for activities.
11. Learn Morse Code.
Not only can you be that annoying person tapping and clicking their pen in class, but it will actually mean something!
And you could probably work for the military, or something. They still use Morse Code, right?
12. Drop out of school and become a tech billionaire.
Mark Zuckerberg did it.
Or a rapper -- whichever works.
