Let’s face it, we all do it. Unfortunately, procrastination comes naturally to almost all of us. We’d be lying if we said we didn’t kind of enjoy the small rush that comes along with a late-night cramming session. The biggest issue we procrastinators face is finding things to distract us from our work. Once we’ve finished combing through Facebook, we sometimes run out of ideas. So, here it is my fellow procrastinators, an index of sources for putting off work:


Create a new song playlist.

Obviously, you need a studying playlist and the one you made a week ago just doesn’t cut it anymore. Take some time to put together that perfect set of songs. It’s good to know your priorities are in check.

Shop online.

You definitely deserve a new bathing suit after spending that long 10 minutes filling out three study guide questions. Plus, shopping is productive too, right?

Tag friends in memes on Instagram.

Chances are you’ve already looked through your friends’ personal photos from the last two days. Now the obvious thing to do is look through popular accounts and tag your best friends in relatable posts. See if you can find one about how much school sucks #reallyrelatable.

Check sports.

Whether it’s the score of your favorite team or the schedule for the next home game, it’s definitely more important than studying for that Econ test.

Eat.

Who doesn’t love a snack break? If you’re really feeling desperate to get away from your responsibilities, then just head out for some food. You’re killing two birds with one stone—avoiding homework and satisfying your craving for Mexican food.

Talk to the people you’re studying with.

It’s not procrastination unless you’re doing it together!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
