Life lessons

Who says procrastination has to be a waste of time? These tips might not improve your GPA, but they can nourish your soul.

Exercise: Aside from the health benefits, you can rationalize it by saying that you’re “clearing your head.”

Rearrange your room: Try out each of the, maybe three, possible furniture arrangements. This might also involve some in-depth feng shui research.

Organize your iTunes library: Important parts of this process include deciding whether to list a “featured” artist in the song title or artist columns, eliminating all duplicates, making capitalization uniform, and updating your album artwork.

Take surveys online for money: I know, I sound like a pop-up ad. But seriously—Google it. Companies will actually pay you to share your opinions on new potential yogurt varieties. Granted, I average about two dollars a survey, but if you’re going to waste time, you might as well make a little money doing it.

TED.com: Watch some pretty famous speakers discuss topics that range from evolution to poetry. Lectures are a lot more interesting when you’re not going to be tested on them.

Clean out your Facebook friends list: Indiscriminate acceptance of friend requests (like people who add you because you “have the same name!”) means that you probably have a lot of friends you don’t actually know or like. Weed them out and unfriend them.
