You've hit midterms week and - as all college kids know too well - that means crunch time. For some, it may mean spending a week or so studying like a sane person; to others, it may mean a little cramming here and there. But for you, it really means avoiding responsibilities until the absolute last second. Whether it be a term paper, major exam, important presentation, or all of the above, you find yourself going out of our way to avoid having to do it. Despite the amount of stress it puts you under, you know you're still going to do it. Every. Single. Time. Here are the 7 things you are definitely doing right now instead of studying:
1. Checking every social media you have.
Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Snapchat again... hell, even Google+. Suddenly all those pictures of your cousin's kids are REALLY interesting.
2. Stalking your ex's aunt's best friend's goldfish.
It's not just even checking up on your ex's account anymore, oh no. Who even is this person again? You don't even know but you're so deep that you've hit all the pictures from their 8th-grade field trip to the zoo.
3. Trying to make plans with literally anyone.
You've sent out 20 "hey" messages only to hear back from one person. Sure, they might annoy you when you're with them in person and sure, you've been avoiding them for a few months but maybe they've changed, right? Being the good person you are, you really should give them a chance. Can't be worse than doing this assignment.
4. Telling yourself you'll start at [insert hour].
Oh, look at the time! Looks like you've missed starting the assignment at 10. It's 10:04 and it's definitely too late for you now. 11:00 it is.
5. Rewatching the Office for the 10th time.
You can quote the whole first season by heart. You can't even count how many tears you've shed every time you watch the one where Michael leaves. But hey, it's been, like, a week and a half since you last saw it, so it's probably time for a refresher.
6. Snacking on anything you can get your hands on.
Maybe you should check the fridge...oh. Okay, try again in another minute or two. You've been eating that same pizza for the past four days; you really should throw it out.
7. Considering going to the gym.
You haven't worked out in probably 8 months, but for some odd reason, you have the urge to go for a run all of a sudden.
