1. Phones don't leave our hands.
We can't even leave it on our bed to go to the bathroom or in our bag to sit in class for less than an hour. For most people, it's not even a question if they will check their phone at the grocery store, in a conversation, at dinner, on a date or even while driving. My phone buzzed. I HAVE to see what it was.
2. People are suddenly more interesting than ever before.
That person you've never actually talked to but always make weird eye contact with? Now would be a good time to start a friendship. That friend you haven't caught up with in forever? Now is the time! Even that person you can't stand suddenly doesn't seem so bad when the other option is actually doing what you're supposed to be doing: studying.
3. The wall is suddenly more interesting than ever before, too.
Let's face it. Everything is more interesting when the other option is studying.
4. You just noticed there are MESSES EVERYWHERE that need to be cleaned NOW.
Anytime I start to really clean, my roommate brings me back to reality by asking what homework I'm avoiding. Guilty as charged. But now the messes will bother me even more.
5. Watching three seasons of a show seems like a good use of time.
Especially if you were the main actor. Which you're not, but you like to imagine that you are. And that's the same thing, right?
6. Bed. Bed is so... bed.
Regardless if you got the bed Monica wanted or the bed she ended up with, it's still your bed, and you can't leave it now, because the sheets have just accepted you as part of themselves, and if you abandon them now, they may never trust you again.
7. I need food. All the food.
Joey seems like a logical sort of man, even if your fridge didn't break.
8. I've never taken two hours to shower before, but why not try now?
It seemed like a good idea until you started dancing, and you remembered your hair was braided because it got stuck and now you can't leave the bathroom. But hey, at least you don't have to study.
9. All those art projects I never completed? TODAY is THE DAY.
I think we have enough said on this one.
10. Did you know that penguins search the entire beach for a pebble to present to their loved one?
Did you know that otters sleep holding paws so that they won't float away from each other? Suddenly you understand Ross's affinity for science. It's FASCINATING. Let me find more useless facts that won't be on the test.
