10 Things you are doing besides being productive

So you have a test tomorrow, a paper due, you're trying to achieve a personal goal, do your taxes, fill out job applications. The list of what you could be doing to be productive and further your life is endless, however this is what you're doing instead.
1. Facebook
You're stalking that annoying girl you and your friends think is amusing to watch crumble, you're correcting someone's grammar, you're posting those photos you took 20 minutes ago of you and your friends at Perkins. If you can't waste time with Facebook then you are certainly doing something productive
2. Snacking
Ordering Pizza, convincing your buddies that a McDonalds run would help you all focus better, you're looking through the empty fridge to see if any of the cake you finished off last night got missed and perhaps there is still a slice available, or maybe 2am is completely an appropriate time to have another bowl of cereal. If you're eating you can't be working.
3. Recreational Drug use
Either you're brewing yourself a pot of coffee, someone just passed you a joint, you're about to step outside for your fifth cigarette break that hour, or you're opening up a beer for a relaxing beverage. Drugs of all sorts are there to make you forget that you were supposed to be doing something. Makes you not even want to be productive. You just want to chill and do nothing.
4. Finally giving your pet some attention
"Oh man! That fish is still alive?! I don't even remember the last time I fed him!" Your cat doesn't give you death looks when you feed her, Your hamster's cage is starting to smell, I think your dog should probably be taken for a walk. Pet's are responsibilities too. and since they're living, the IRS will understand why your taxes were late when they realized your pet could have died during the time you had set aside to do them but your pet needed attention.
5. Cleaning your room/doing laundry
I mean, it has to get done eventually right? And it counts as being productive for an hour or two.
6. Working out
Or you know, getting out of bed. For some of us that is a work out.
7. Googleing who the top most powerful women in the world are
and other useless facts that you will never use in real life such as, how to build a boat, what Rachel Maddow's wife looks like

8. Watching a TV series
I know you've seen every episode of That 70's Show, or The Walking Dead but maybe you missed some clue in Lost or How I Met Your Mother
9. preparing for the Zombie Apocalyspe.
Your emergency Oreo supply looks kinda low....... You should go to Target and pick up some more
10. Writing a blog post about 10 things you would rather be doing than being productive
