You're at school to learn. And you love learning. It's actually really fun!
But then comes that inevitable time during your academic career...You've got to study for a test. In theory, it's not that hard. You just have to sit down in front of that open textbook and force all of that knowledge into your brain as fast as humanly possible (especially if you're a crammer *cough cough* like me). No problem! Just grab a cup of coffee and a highlighter and crack open that book and... and... and...
1. Netflix
Yes, it's the default excuse now. And yes, it happens a lot. That's life, folks!
2. Napping
Well, honestly, you probably do need some sleep. All-nighters don't work anyway.3. Laundry
Laundry is tediously boring, no doubt about it. But somehow, it's still better than memorizing facts for hours on end.4. Staring at walls
The secrets of the universe are buried in that ugly wallpaper if you look long enough. Not the answers to your test, of course. But the secrets of the universe. Can't go wrong here.5. Doing other homework
Because you've definitely got some. And it'll make you feel productive. Who cares that your test is at eight in the morning and this homework isn't due until the end of the semester?6. Facebook quizzes
Finding out which color of Skittle matches your personality is ten times more important than knowing what the powerhouse of the cell is.7. Discovering new music
It's like studying for life, right? Those hours surfing YouTube are really going to come in handy. Eventually.
8. Going to Walmart
Even if you don't need to buy anything, just go for the entertainment! It's better than TV. And if you want to get serious about procrastination, take a friend with you and be part of that entertainment yourselves.
9. Releasing your inner artist
Who knows? You might find some real hidden talent. Or you'll make some nice stick figure sketches for the fridge. Either way... win win.10. Planning your outfits for the next two months
You're not wasting time now. You're saving time in the future.11. Organizing everyone's stuff
Not just your stuff. Your roommate and/or family's stuff. Your neighbor's stuff. A stranger's stuff. Any stuff.12. Teaching yourself how to do a handstand
If you break your neck trying, you get out of the test, right?13. Cooking a four-course meal
How you're pulling off a full Thanksgiving-style feast with only a single saucepan, some paper towels, and a microwave at your disposal, I don't know. Kudos.14. Training for a marathon
Exercise is a true sign of desperation.
