Are you experiencing the mid-semester lull? Are you struggling to find the energy to finish all your work? Are you a senior and is senioritis setting in? We all get stuck during the semester at some point. Spring break is over and the weather is still cold outside, so it still feels like winter. Some days it can be hard to focus and distractions can take over your life. You can ask any college student and they will give you a list of things they do when they are procrastinating.
1. Clean your apartment
This is actually a good one, no one wants to live in a dirty apartment.
2. Re-decorate your room
Rearrange pictures on the wall and things sitting on your desk and dresser. Heck, if you are really motivated you can even move some furniture.
3. People watch
This is really fascinating. Watching how humans interact with each other is really interesting. You can learn so much about someone when you just observe them.
4. Bake
Cookies, brownies, they are all delicious! Everyone always needs a little pick me up.
5. Learn the choreography to a Beyonce music video.
Let's face it, none of us will ever be Beyonce, but we can all try and have some fun!
6. Go on Pinterest and plan your ideal wedding.
Ideas for party planning on the best! and once you go down that rabbit hole, you may never return.
7. Watch tons of celebrity interviews on Youtube
Watching the Ellentube, or any other video on Youtube will get you lost for hours.
8. Binge watch any TV show.
This one is self-explanatory.
9. Play with the Snapchat filters.
The voice changes are really fun!
10. Put on a face mask to improve your skin.
11. Look at old pictures from when you studied abroad and cry.
Everyone has a special connection with the city they studied abroad in if they decided to do so. The pictures will remind you of the good times in college.
Everyone experiences procrastination is different ways, but by the time you have graduated college, most of us are experts. For me, getting started is always the hardest part, but once you get one a roll don't stop and don't let anyone distract you. I put my phone on "Do not Disturb" and try to get as much done as possible.
