Procrastination Station

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hampton U chapter.

As finals approaches, it appears as though students are doing any and everything to distract them from studying. Yes, I am talking about procrastination. It appears as though when students really need to concentrate and focus our minds divert our attention somewhere else, preventing us to finish the task at hand. This article however, in not intended to help fix your procrastination, no. This article will discuss the many things you can do while you procrastinate.

Everyone loves a good laugh, and talk-show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres is known for her hilarious stand up comedy.  This video below is a snip-it of one of Ellen’s old stand up comedy shows, when she discusses her struggle with procrastination.  It makes me laugh every time while reminding me that I need to complete my work.

Another thing you can do while you are procrastinating is watching old music videos from your favorite artist back in the day. Watching the videos can be a trip because you can tell how far certain celebrities have come while listening the songs you used to bump from your boom box (remember those). 

For those of you that consider themselves lovers of beauty, make-up and hair, YouTube tutorials are a must when it comes to things you can do while you procrastinate.  Some top notch beauty channels on YouTube to watch include NitraaB, BeautyDollFaceX, GlamTwinz, Jasmine Brown, Nia Imani and itsmyRayeRaye just to name a few.
