The Secret Life of a Procrastination Princess

You know that point where you have had just about enough of studying and could easily give up and stare at your computer screen waiting for someone to update Facebook for three hours? So do I. Which is why I present to you this awesome list of Things to Do When Absolutely Fed Up With Studying:

1. Become a spy. You've already touched up your stalking skills on Facebook; now tackle stealth with this awesome how-to guide to hollow book making.

2. Get in touch with your inner nerd by playing these online versions of Super Mario.

3. Cook something for someone, then proceed to explain why there's only one tiny bite left (Hey, you can't help it if you're an amazing chef!). Get inspired here.

4. Find out awesome facts, such as, "Naperville Central High School, near Chicago, IL, is the only high school in America with an Egyptian mummy." Dazzle your friends with your newfound knowledge.

5. Watch your favorite childhood movie on YouTube. Extra cool points if you make s'mores in your microwave before hand!

6. Never underestimate the power of WikiHow. I particularly like this article.

7. Write a story. Yes, I know the reason you're reading this list because you want to avoid writing, but do me a favor: think about the last time you were reading a book and thought, "This would be so much better if it had jetpacks (or snowmen, or monkeys that could breathe underwater)." Now write it! Make it funny, terrifying, or inspiring - as long as you enjoy it then you're doing it right. Click for inspiration. And remember, you can't go wrong - I have a friend that is writing a story starring the elements from the periodic table!

8. Go classic - did you know there are dozens of ways to play solitaire? Learn online, then play them with the dusty deck hiding in a drawer under your sink. My personal favorite is Accordion.

I'm a different breed, and I'm crazy

Today I salute you, stressed out college student, as you sit in your lonely cubical in the library, doped up on Starbucks and Adderall. You think to yourself, 'Am I ever going to need to know this stuff in life?!?' The distractions are tempting and you have suddenly diagnosed yourself with ADD along with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage. I'm sure by now you know exactly what everyone is doing because you've checked your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, and even Myspace account 800 times. Christmas break is just days away, and your Prozac prescription will be in tomorrow. So crack open an ice cold drink after that last exam, because for most of us, Christmas will be spent in rehab.
