How To: Procrastinate

I am sitting on my bed with my computer on my lap, procrastinating (as always) on writing my conclusion for my English essay. If there were a degree in procrastination, I would be a doctor by now. My attention span allows me to type one sentence before my mind is pulled towards something else. Since I am oh so fabulous at the art of procrastination, I decided I would let you in on some tools I use to be the best I can be at my profession.

1. PENTATONIX. Pentatonix is a group of five (a cappella) singers who make covers on YouTube of popular music and they are AMAZING. Here are two of their videos to help you procrastinate (I have watched all of them in my quest to perfect my procrastination abilities):

2. Check your email every 5 minutes.

3. Check Twitter every 10 minutes; Tweet every half hour.

4. Watch the Internship and wish that one day you would work for Google.

5. Search for real Google internships before realizing you have not yet graduated high school.

6. Bake scones and eat them because you are sad that you cannot go to California and work for Google.

7. Post on the Tapestry Blog (;

Hope all of my tips help you to procrastinate the best that you can! They have helped me all weekend (including seeing the fall play, "Lost In Yonkers," which was a quite enjoyable way to get my mind off of my essay).

I should probably get back to watching Pentatonix... or maybe start my conclusion. We'll see.
