I have a five page paper due in a few days. Naturally, I'm not going to do it until the absolute last minute (in fact, I'm procrastinating it right now by writing this.) Here are some things I recommend doing to avoid thinking about all of your homework.

1. Catch up on the TV shows or movies you've wanted to see

The more you invest yourself in the drama of tv and movies, the less you have to invest yourself in that 5 page essay.

2. Clean your room

Honestly, even if you don't like cleaning, it's a wonderful distraction from that midterm you desperately need to study for. Plus, your room probably needs it.

3. Put on a face mask

Pulling the homework out from your backpack was a lot of work. You better pamper yourself for a few hours to distress.

4. Tweeze your eyebrows

The pain you cause yourself by tweezing is sure to be much less that the pain your teachers have bestowed upon you in the form of homework.

5. Call home

Specifically, if you're away at college, call home. Your parents probably miss hearing from you. And if you haven't talked to them in a while, you're bound to be on the phone for hours -- a great amount of time to avoid that math packet.

6. Sleep

I recommend ignoring all of your assignments by sleeping -- it's a form of procrastination that can last for hours.

7. Cry

You can't do your homework if you can't see it though all the tears.
