I’m literally sitting here trying to finish my homework while thinking about things I could be doing instead of writing this essay. To be honest, I’ve probably already done most of these things on the list at some point instead of homework. I mean, I took the time to create this list, so I might as well follow through on some of the achievable ones and procrastinate even longer. Actually, you’re probably supposed to be doing homework right now too. High-five for procrastination!

24. Text my best friend to tell her that I’m making a list of things I could be doing instead of homework.
