Finals Procrastination: Open Thread
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by Keith Becker in Oregon Ducks
It’s finals week. You have two essays to write, three exams to study for, and a final project where one member of your group keeps showing up to meetings drunk (that really happened).
And it all needs to be done by Wednesday.
You’re overwhelmed. You don’t want to study. I understand.
You might have even made it to the library, have your books and notes on the table in front of you, but you just can’t stop checking your @mentions on twitter, your Facebook fan page and googling your own name. Wait, that’s just me?
I have been in the library for eight of my last twenty-four hours and this post is all I have to show for it. FAIL.
Whatever the case, if you’re like me and you’re looking for any excuse to take a break from the books, or just prolong you from starting in the first place, this is your lucky day.
I have scourged the depths of the internet to find the most entertaining, time-wasting, anti-productive, raise-your-chances-of-failing, parent-infuriating, anything-is-better-than-studying-for-anthropology-videos on YouTube.
Here is the best of what I could come up with. Please feel free to add your links or just vent about finals in the comments.
Happy procrastinating!
Stay with this one till the end, it’s worth it.
That’s enough to get you started. Maybe I’ll add more later. Enjoy!

Hahaha , i love the Family Guy clip , hilarious. I think a case could be made that procrastinating actually helps you focus more on things like finals ,projects ,papers and other things cause you have less time so you have no choice but to do it instead of having large amounts of time before the stuff is due. And yet , we all know when final exams are but we choose to procrastinate anyway. I think the human species operates better when there is time constraints cause we get distracted when there is too much time in between. Check out these crazy basketball shots by a group of Texas A&M students. Real or not , it is insane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD6eQY7yCfw&NR=1

I should be studying for finals and not writing something about the Smashing Pumpkins for my site, but I don’t feel like it.

You know what? Fuck it…I have 7 episodes of the Sopranos left to watch and then I’m done with the series. I’m just going to stay up until like 4 or 5 and finish it out.
