How to procrastinate in studying for finals

I'm sure every college student could write a dissertation on how to procrastinate studying for finals. So maybe this isn't a "how-to" guide so much as it is a "look-what-I'm-blogging-about-to-put-off-studying-for -my-finals" confession. Just a word in my defense: I will eventually study for my test tomorrow. It's just that after a week of projects, papers, presentations and no sleep, I'm doing the little things I can to keep what's left of my sanity.

  • Take a walk or go to the gym (to be safe, make sure you go with someone else).
  •  Eat your weight in TV dinners. Just kidding, don't do that. I've been living off of fettuccine alfredo microwave dinners the past few days, though. 
  • Listen to Christmas songs!
  • Make cute little origami boxes from Post-its. Instructions at Instructables
  •  Delete unnecessary emails from your inbox. It's tedious. It's time-consuming. But somehow you can convince yourself that at least you're being productive.
  • Log on to Myspace (still remember Myspace?) and leave a comment for all your poor friends who haven't gotten a comment since high school
  •  Write a blog post or comment on this one =]
