University Life : Top 10 Essay Procrastination Technique's

As a change to social commentary and reviews on whatever I feel like (although that will continue, with a review on the XFX 9800 GTX+ Black Edition and some reviews on some games I have recently purchased coming up shortly), I have decided to follow up on a post a while ago which mentioned upcoming Top 10 Lists for University in the United Kingdom.

Today's topic is on procrastinating when you have an essay due in. The list that will follow is open to discussion and can be changed around and edited if people severely agree with the order.

1. Facebook
   Wasting your time on this fabled social networking site is the number one way to waste your time completely. You will have access to irritating addictive games and it allows you to spend hours stalking your friends.
   
   
2. Windows Live Messenger
   Windows Live Messenger or MSN is also a great way to stop yourself from doing work. Just log on and talk to your friends, you won't even notice the time going down the drain.
   
   
3. Eating Food
   Eating food when you're bored probably comes under a form of eating disorder, but who cares, it wastes some more time!
   
   
4. Cleaning your room
   Sometimes cleaning your room will let you "clear your mind" so that you can do your essay properly. A more likely explanation to why people do this activity before starting an essay is that it lets you not do said essay for 10 minutes.
   
   
5. Blogging
   Obviously I'm doing this post at the moment because I'm doing an essay, so obviously Blogging has to be on the list somewhere. . .
   
   
6. Checking Gaming Forums
   If I'm being perfectly honest, I check the Star Sonata forums about every ten minutes regardless. The only difference is that during an essay I will actually read what people have said.
   
   
7. Checking E-mail
   Most people don't have any important e-mails , so checking them is pointless, right?
   
   
8. Going down to the pub
   If you really want to waste a few hours, instead of just a few minutes, grab a few mates and go down the pub for a couple drinks. Guaranteed to stop you from doing work.
   
   
9. Checking the BBC News
   If you are really trying to not do your essay, you could always pretend to be an intellectual.
   
   
10. Wikipedia
    Nuff said.

Final Thought Byte : Wasting your time when you need to do an essay is fun, at times. Just don't forget that it actually has to be done at one point. . .
