Finals season should really be renamed to be more appropriately called the most severe procrastination period of the semester. Over the years, I, like many of you I presume, have found myself doing absolutely everything under the sun to prevent myself from doing what I should in fact be doing. Because of this, I have perfected quite a few techniques to avoid focusing on my finals. So without further ado, here is my gift to you of a thorough list of ways to procrastinate.
1. Clean your entire bedroom, bathroom, common room, staircase, refrigerator, and desk, wrap your family's Christmas gifts, color coordinate your closet, and organize your sock drawer.
2. Open everyone on your list's snapchat stories and cry to yourself about the fact that everyone and their mother is already at home, lounging on their couches or going to see Star Wars while you have chained yourself to the cubicle on the third floor of the library in a desperate (fruitless) attempt to force yourself to do work.
3. Take a nap, go to a masseuse, make yourself a cup of tea, meditate, give yourself a face mask, paint your nails and toenails, and pour yourself a glass of wine- all the while convincing yourself that these steps are a necessary measure to take in order to get you in the right frame of mind to settle down and make your Psych note cards.
4. Have a karaoke session to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You" all by yourself in your room.
5. Write a thank you note to your grandparents for the scarf they gave you for your birthday two years ago.
