At Three A.M. I Don't Know Where To Begin


Bored. Tired. Famished. Don't want to do homework.

People always make lists of how to avoid procrastination, so here's one to help you to do just that.

1. Find something to eat. You look in the fridge many times hoping to spot something you missed the first ten times searching. You're never too full for a snack.
2. Go clean something. Chances are you've been letting things get a little messy while you've been busy doing homework.
3. Internet (StumbleUpon, Twitter, Facebook, AddictingGames, IMDB, Wikipedia, Blogger, Shopping, Email, YouTube, the Weather, Pintrest). You're here so you've already covered this one.
4. Blog. People love to talk and have attention on them. Why not be one of them?
5. Bake something. See number one.
6. Take a walk. You need to clear your head before you start your homework. And you might bump into someone you know and make plans to go out tonight.
7. Listen to music. Nothing like dancing or singing or listening to energize you!
8. Road trip!
9. Plan a murder. You don't have to follow through, but sometimes it's a nice thought and distraction. Creativity and morbidity is encouraged.
10. Plan out what work you need to get done. This seems productive, but really you're just organizing what you have to do.
11. Work out. It's healthful, and you get an adrenaline boost. And sweaty, which you can either work to your advantage or go shower.
12. Dance party/jam session in the bathroom or hallway. If you go to a school similar to mine, that shouldn't be too difficult.
13. Be a ninja.
14. Call a friend and say you'll do homework together. Because that works every time. Unless you have nerdy friends, you good student, you!
15. Write a letter to one of your friends. College students love getting mail.
16. Watch a movie.
17. Color. Nothing like cracking out the old crayons or Twistables to help give your room that je ne sais quoi.

Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Make life beautiful and enjoy every minute (even procrastinating).
