A+ in procrastination

The art of slacking off during exams
Add as preferred on Google(opens in a new tab)

A few weeks ago, when my anatomy and physiology exams were looming on the horizon, I wasn’t able to procrastinate properly. With several more chapters of my textbook to review, I felt too guilty to do anything fun. Like reading anything other than my textbooks, or playing a videogame, or going out with friends.

So instead, I would check my email ten times in a row. Or rearrange the icons on my desktop. Or delete old Word documents.

Now that final exams are over, my methods of procrastination have drastically changed. I can do whatever I want guilt-free. All of my old, ineffective methods of procrastination have been left behind.
