Classes started only two days ago, and I'm already struggling to stay motivated. I have a long list of things to do but I'd really rather lay on my floor and listen to the new Frank Ocean album or eat in my bed while I binge-watch "Stranger Things." I'm the queen of procrastinating. I can find any way to procrastinate. I will drive my friends to CVS before I start my French homework. I will reorganize my clothing drawers before I start studying for my Journalism test. I will stalk at least 12 Instagram accounts before I even think about cleaning my room or doing my laundry.

I always eventually get done what I have to do, whether it's at 2 a.m. or two minutes before I'm supposed to have it finished, but the habit can hold me back sometimes.

So here is my list of things I could do this semester besides procrastinate my life away.

1. Read for class.

I always tell myself I will actually read the textbooks and take notes on said readings, but I always forget or decide it isn't really that necessary to do so. But I always wondered how easy a class would be if I actually took time out to read.

2. Make flash cards.

This is another study method that I am horrible at following through on. Making flash cards is time-consuming, and I always end up losing the cards behind my desk or inside my backpack. I strive to be like my friends, who have neat stacks of hundreds of flash cards handy whenever quizzes or tests are coming up.

3. Go to the gym.

I actually like going to the gym sometimes, but it's always a fiasco getting myself there. First I have to push myself to get ready for the gym, then I have to push myself to walk to the gym, that I have to push myself to walk up the stairs to the gym, then I have to push myself to stay at the gym longer than 12 minutes.

4. Apply for scholarships.

Both through my university and through websites for students, I could be earning money if I took an hour out of my day to apply for some scholarships. In all honesty, I used to do this in my giant Gen-Ed lecture halls, but those are growing few and far between as the semesters go on, and I rarely sit on my computer longer than the amount of time it takes to take a few Buzzfeed quizzes.

5. Do my laundry.

I always have piles of dirty clothes stacked everywhere. I don't even know when I wore them or how they even got dirty. I'm definitely not the person to have set "laundry days" and will most likely decide it's time to do my wash once I start running out of t-shirts or underwear. And once I begin to do my laundry, the whole event takes a few days to get through my colors, whites, and towels. It's basically the Coachella of laundry: a once-a-year and weekend-long event.

6. Pick up my mail.

I hate taking a long walk all the way to the mail center just to grab one package. It's even worse when the package weighs a lot, and I have to lug it all the way back with you. People stare, and I'm sweating a lot from having to lift something heavier than five pounds. Unless it's a care package from my mom or a textbook I desperately need, I will wait days to get my mail.

7. Buy textbooks for class.

I always tell myself in class, Go home and immediately order these books. I always go home, sit down, accidentally doze off and forget all about my books. I've gone an impressive amount of weeks without some of my class' textbooks because I kept forgetting to order them. And don't even get me started on actually going to the store to buy them in person.

8. Do my homework.

My last class could end at 12 p.m. and I will not finish my homework until 2 a.m. It doesn't matter if my homework is the easiest task to carry out; I will put off doing it until I absolutely have to do it.

9. Study for that test even though it's not until next week.

I always put off studying because I believe I have more time than I do. I say, "Don't worry! That test isn't until next Friday!" And I take one nap and all of a sudden it's Thursday night and I've done nothing to prepare. Instead of cramming (even though I excel at this practice), I could act like a model student and study in increments for weeks at a time.

10. Go to the grocery store.

I hate going to the grocery store mostly because I'm spending money, and I'm spending money on food I can't even eat right away. My last grocery store trip resulted in me quickly rushing around to grab bleach (because I started my white load only to realize I had no bleach), coffee creamer (because two weeks after moving in, I finally set up my Keurig) and cream soda (because I love cream soda and it is available nowhere). I still have more items to buy, but we'll see if I get there before Labor Day.

11. Get a job.

The idea of having to handle both work and a course load is nerve-wracking, in all honestly. I really need money, though, and the days I spent laying in bed on Pinterest could definitely be better spent making money considering I burn through it like I'm the "Wolf of Wall Street."

12. Get ready.

I always waste time before events or meetings or class or basically anything that requires me looking like a normal human being, and I never actually have enough time to get ready. I will lay in bed 30 minutes past my alarm so I have to rush around to get ready. I will wait until five minutes before I have to leave my house to even consider putting my pants back on or brushing my hair. I have to pick between looking nice but being late or looking rough but arriving on time.

13. Waste my time trying to "change."

I constantly set out to change my procrastinating ways, but I save it for a later date because there are always videos of sloths in a bucket to watch on Facebook. If there's one thing I don't waste my time doing, it's apologizing or feeling bad because I don't have a "structured" lifestyle. I just happen to work well under pressure (much like diamonds) and with a little chaos. I don't see anything wrong with my haphazard-yet-effective method to success.
