There are many things in the world that I enjoy doing, and I like to think that I am pretty good at some of them. However, there is one thing that I am an absolute expert at: procrastination. When it comes to school assignments, I’m pretty good about keeping with a schedule, but not always. There are somethings that I can push off to the very last minute. We all know and understand the rushed panic of trying to meet a deadline for turning in a paper. It’s not a pleasant experience. Nonetheless, as long as there is education to be had, there will also be found students putting their work off.
Without further adieu, here are fifty-two things I do (and you can too!) instead of what I’m actually supposed to:
1. Clean my room
2. Count my change
3. Start reading a new book
4. Set aside new book after three chapters
5. Watch a new TV show on Netflix
6. Finish the TV show on Netflix
7. Bake cookies
8. Write a journal entry
9. Make my bed
10. Plan out a road trip across America
11. Calculate how much money I need to go to Disney World
12. Begin a sketch
13. Listen to music
14. Re-arrange my shoes
15. Give myself a facial
16. Floss my teeth
17. See what the cast of ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ looks like today
18. Go online shopping
19. Imagine impossible scenarios
20. Paint my nails
21. Take out the garbage
22. Go for a run
23. Spend hours on Pinterest
24. Decide that you WILL try out that DIY asap
25. Fail at said DIY
26. Plan your wedding
27. Think of a name for the dog you’ll get five years from now
28. Watch videos of babies laughing
29. Attempt couple’s yoga (have a third friend film, because, it’s hilarious)
30. Make weird faces in the mirror
31. Attempt to understand politics
32. Print and frame some photographs
33. Drink a cup of coffee
34. Read fanfiction from your favorite fandom
35. Read the dictionary. Especially the ‘Z’ section.
36. Count to 43 in French
37. Try and remember 10th grade Geometry
38. Wonder who decides which artists are considered great
39. Look up dad jokes on the internet
40. Write a letter to your friend that lives across the country
41. Make a list of things you need for an upcoming trip
42. Play 52 Card Pick-Up
43. Play Monopoly with the actual rules
44. Learn a few phrases in Italian
45. Sing along with the Highschool Musical soundtrack
46. Laugh at baby Zac Efron
47. Swoon at current Zac Efron
48. Practice your princess wave (like Mia from ‘The Princess Diaries’)
49. Play with the filters on Instagram
50. Clean out your purse (or backpack)
51. Practice your autograph for when you become famous
52. Lastly, make a 52 point list of all the things you shouldn’t be doing right now
As you can see, some of the things that I do are actually really productive, but they are still just there to push off what I really should be doing.
Good luck in your own endeavors, and happy procrastination to you!
