Winter To-Do List: The Procrastination Edition
Guilty citizen of the ProcrastiNation right here, everybody.
I’ve got an exam tomorrow, lecture notes and several hundred pages of readings to re-revise, and definitions to repeat over and over to myself until I sound like a broken record.
And yet, at this moment, I am doing none of those things. Instead, I’m sitting here making a list.
As I’ve mentioned before, I do love my lists. I’m already anticipating the end of my last exam this week and daydreaming about all the wonderful glorious things I could do in the time I’m spending buried nose-deep in readings.
So, out of this particular procrastination episode (or ‘study break’ as I like to call them), came a very detailed to-do list about what I plan to do after my last exam is over, which, for your amusement, I'll be sharing here.
THINGS TO DO AFTER LAST EXAM:
Building Gingerbread Houses with Sick Kids Foundation UofT
A Drake-themed guide to Robarts during exam season
Exams are upon us, U of T. Time to buckle down, catch up with readings, and hit up the nearest campus library for some serious studying. Robarts is the natural go-to choice for many students. Exams may make you miserable, but at least being around other people who are stressing out as much as you are is somewhat comforting. Also comforting is knowing that you’re making Drake proud by acing that calc exam. And always remember that if Aubrey Graham could go from a teeny-bopper D-list actor on Degrassi to a bonafide rap legend, then you can certainly power through these final weeks of the first semester.

Becoming a Morning Person: An Experiment
Anyone who knows me knows that, by nature, I am not a morning person.
Early mornings usually see me with the functioning capacity of a sloth on sleeping pills.(Minus those two wretched early class days when I have to be up and ready to commute), I tend to sleep in and then feel horribly guilty for having wasted most of the morning.
Occasionally, ambitious 6 AM alarms are set, complete with threatening labels to motivate me to wake up....
…but with little success.
However, a week ago I was reading a Forbes article (you know, as any sophisticated, intellectual young person often does…...lol jk it randomly popped up on my Facebook newsfeed) entitled 'How to Become A Morning Person.'
Inspired by the examples of several successful early risers such as Margaret Thatcher, Indra Nooyi and Anna Wintour, to name a few, I decided to challenge myself:
Seven days, seven early mornings.
