"Judging by the title of this blog post, you&amp;#039;re probably thinking that I&amp;#039;ve officially lost my mind. Well, considering this past week has been absolutely killer, filled with multiple tests and papers, your assumptions would be partially correct. But seriously, how can procrastination be effective?! Let&amp;#039;s face it, when the only thing you&amp;#039;ve come up with for your philosophy paper is that &amp;quot;Essentially, life is the essence of living&amp;quot; after staring at a computer screen for hours (trust me, I speak from experience), it&amp;#039;s time to step away from the work for a little while to clear your mind. Now, that doesn&amp;#039;t mean go watch an entire season of Jersey Shore or anything, but there are certain things you can do that are fun, productive and at the very least, less likely to induce a coma.  1. Jam Session: This just might be my favorite ever. You know what to do! Turn up the tunes, and rave it up in your dorm room for a good five minutes. My personal song of choice? Katy Perry&amp;#039;s T.G.I.F. 2. Sporcle/StumbleUpon: Forget Facebook and Twitter, these are the college kids&amp;#039; go-to websites for doing things like looking up cute baby panda videos watching documentaries of great video cinematographic merit about the hierarchal nature of the animal kingdom. Seriously though, these are both (somewhat) educational and a lot of fun. 3. Clean: Yeah, I know, what does that word even mean? Just do it.   4. Magnetic Poetry Kit: I received one of these as a Christmas gift, and it is honestly so much fun. You&amp;#039;re limited to the words that come in the kit, and with the college edition of the poetry kit, you can only imagine the wacky phrases that appear on my mini-fridge. My personal favorites? &amp;quot;I would ace a nap exam&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Make do &amp;amp;amp; go naked.&amp;quot; Okay, well maybe it isn&amp;#039;t best that you heed that aforementioned advice, but these kits are a great way to get creative juice flowing before going back to hitting the books. &amp;quot;Sometimes it&amp;#039;s to your advantage for people to think you&amp;#039;re crazy.&amp;quot;  -Thelonious Monk No worry beef curry, XOs, and all that other jazz, Katie :) What are some ways you procrastinate?
