It's that time again, boys and girls. We're all going crazy studying for our finals/taking our finals. This also brings on that which goes hand-in-hand with studying, procrastination. I will now investigate the forms of procrastination.

Anti-productive Forms:

• Facebook: We all know it's inevitable and all too simple to check obsessively.
• Likealittle: This handy tool came just in time for finals procrastination.
• Blogging: Oops.
• Watching television: While excellent for taking a break once in a while, watching all day causes supreme lack of productivity.
• Shopping: You can claim it's for supplies, but we all know that the survival kits and goody bags provided through various outlets supply this for us and that if you go shopping it's just to waste time. If it's Christmas shopping, you should do this once you finish all your finals or go to ONE store and take care of what you can there intermittently.
• Parties and other assorted gatherings: These are acceptable as long as you do not attend for an extended length of time, but it's much too tempting to remain where the fun is, so I recommend not attending at all. You can get all your socializing in at the beginning of next semester.
• Intramurals: Sorry boys.

Productive Forms:

• Quick Errands: This includes grocery shopping, haircuts, doctor check-ups (waiting rooms allow for some studying to be done), truly shopping for supplies (assuming the goody bags failed to include necessities), etc.
• Cleaning: If you're like me, your room must be completely in order before you can begin to be productive. Make sure you don't turn this into scrubbing down every surface just to waste time.
• Exercising: This will wake you up, get your blood flowing, and fully prepare you to get down to business. Plus, it helps you work off that food you ate when you went to lunch so you could see that friend just one more time before the break.
• Meetings: As long as these don't turn into social hours, you're all good.

Remember, if you're in doubt, it's probably not productive. Also, make sure your study groups don't turn into social hour as well. Productive studies everyone!

Witticism of the Day: Dressing WAY up and staying in is much more fun than getting super dressy and going in public.
