28 Things You've Done Instead Of Studying.

1. Procrastination.

2. Resting in your bed (which has gotten extra comfy all of a sudden.)

3. Shows. (Are you caught up on your shows?!)

4. Comforting friends who are having study-crises.

5. Shamelessly stalk everyone you know on Facebook.

6. Cultivating skills you don’t have.

7. Scrolling through tumblr. Infinitely.

8. Beating your high score in every game ever.

 9. Trying all the Pinterest things. 

 Created a million new, unnecessary Pinterest boards. In reality, Pinterest could be condensed into two categories: stuff you’ll never wind up actually crafting, and stuff you’ll never actually wind up cooking, but who cares? You’ve pinned so many Vera Wang gowns onto your new secret wedding board that at this point you’ve forgotten you’re single. 

10. Thinking about the vast terror of the future.

11. Cleaning.
 It needs to happen, ASAP.

12. Online shopping therapy. 
Gotten most of your holiday shopping done online. You started out by browsing as a quick study break, but now you’ve gotten almost taken care of everything on your shopping list.

13. SURPRISE NAPPING!

14.Food.

15. You get an idea: you can prepare to start studying. Make flashcards!

16. Realizing that if you’re really going to do this, you need coffee.

17. Somehow ending up on YouTube and HOW ARE PEOPLE SO GOOD AT PING PONG?!

18. Pack for your trip home, even though you don’t leave for another five days. 

19. Unpack because you realize you hate every single piece of clothing you’ve put into your suitcases. 

20. Laundry.
 All of your laundry is done. You’ve actually folded everything and put it away for once, too.

21.Instagram.
Spent three hours in a deep, downward spiral on Instagram.
All you wanted to do was check your newsfeed, but then you came across that pretty, kind of boring girl who graduated from your high school. She is now looks like a supermodel, is married and lives in some gorgeous house, documenting her perfect little life one filtered picture at a time.

22. Called your mom. She is anxiously awaiting your return so you two can lunch and shop together.

23.  Gotten a quick mani-pedi.
Obviously the reason you couldn’t focus on anything academic was because you were too busy worrying about the state of your cuticles. Plus, your Lincoln Park After Dark pedicure was way too dark to be considered festive. (Side note, I’m LOVING “The Spy Who Loved Me” right now. It’s red and glittery.)

24. Skyped with your high school bestie, who has also been avoiding studying like it has calories.

25. Create Playlists.
Created so many “study playlists” that you’re convinced you might have actually opened a book, when in reality, you’ve just created the perfect blend of background music for your theoretical reading and note-taking.

26. The Library.
 Decided the only way you’d actually get anything done is by leaving the house and heading to the library. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that every single girl you’ve made out with while intoxicated this semester is there studying too, so you took a minute to put yourself together. You finally achieve a look that says, “I’m hot, but I don’t even care because I’m so focused on my grades,” after 45 minutes.

 27. Spent 20 minutes finding a place to sit at the library that isn’t too close to other people, but still allows you and your besties to get a good view of the hot peeps. 

28.  Realized the odds of you actually FAILING a course don’t exist.
You’re probably going to be fine tomorrow, and worst case scenario, you’re not. C’s get degrees, after all, and the only super smart girl who’s ever been successful is Liz Lemon and nobody likes her. After this epiphany, you realize you still have a solid 4 hours until your 'focus' wears off, so back to Pinterest you go.
