Face it, we're all guilty of procrastination. Whether you want to admit to your mom that you really didn't study for your exam this morning, or whether you just took a nap instead of attending lecture. We're all guilty, and we're in this together.

So, if you're ever wondering what you could do instead of studying for your big exam the next day, check out some of these time consumers!

1. Take a nap

2. Go for a walk

3. Get Starbucks or your choice of caffeine

4. Go to Target (It's always one of my go-to's when I'm bored)

5. Grab a bite to eat


6. Binge watch your favorite Netflix series

7. Visit the nearest city to you and explore


8. Scroll through your social media

9. Rearrange your room

10. Redecorate your room (Although most of us cannot do this because we're on the strict "college student budget")

11. Grab your favorite PJ's and read a book

12. Go shopping (*See number 10, then resort to number 13*)


13. Online window shop

14. Watch your favorite movie with your best friend

15. Make a list of books you would like to read

22. Visit your friends

But most importantly...

23. Sit back and relax

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
