FYI: This is less of a helpful blog and more of a rant. Procrastinating is truly the bane of my existence in college, and I’m sure I am not alone in this fight. Most college students have seen this occur, an hour long assignment getting sidetracked about 10 different ways and ends up taking 4 hours. The method may be different, but the end result is the same. So, here are some of my worst enemies.
1. Youtube
Jesus Christ, whoever came up with the idea of being able to watch an unlimited amount of content for free with no breaks in between is definitely responsible for my bad grades. I get sidetracked through watching nba highlights, gaming videos, interviews of celebrities, carpool karaoke. The list is endless
2. Netflix/Amazon Prime/etc
Another truly diabolic foe is the streaming services who let you play a seemingly endless amount of new movies, tv shows, constantly releasing new material. Before you know it, you’ve just binge watched through entire seasons of a new show. Also, these guys got me into Kpop and now I’ve started spiraling deeper and deeper.
3. Manga
I’ve always loved reading manga, a friend recently recommended a great app specifically for reading manga. Along with manga, I also started reading webtoons like the Gamer, Unordinary, Solo Leveling, etc. Those have unfortunately been very distracting as well.
