The best ways to procrastinate in the Robbo

Well done, you’ve actually made it to the Robinson, but that doesn’t mean you’re actually going to revise. We know you want to, so here’s the best ways to procrastinate whilst on your date with Mrs Robinson.

1.) Eat

Forget no carbs before Marbs, no pizza before Ibiza, if you’re going to put off revision, you might as well eat your body weight in Robbo toasties and malteasers. And yes, life really has got that low when you choose discussing what to eat over actually revising.

2.) Sleep

We don’ t judge you, just the walk here deserves you a cheeky little nap in the Robbo. Fairplay for doing it on the first floor on one of the much need communal computers, you rebel. If however, you want a cheeky nap on the sly, the fourth floor provides you with a multitude of much needed spaces to rest your weary hungover head.

3.) Snapchat

We know you’re on your phone instead of revising, but top marks for being at the Robbo. Boring your friends with stories full of how you’re dying at the library is a necessity to pass at least one minute of your time and also inform all your friends of just how bored/ugly you look.

Who actually cares?

4.) Hottie Spotting

Seeing as the Robbo has now replaced Tuptup and Florita’s as your form of socialising, a cheeky one mile radius on Tinder whilst in the Robbo can give you great procrastination in stalking its bookshelves for the next hottie you’ve just swiped to the right, who knows, you might even find your new Mr Darcy.

5.) Reading The Tab

Admit it, if you’re reading this now, then you’re probably already in the Robbo and procrastination by reading the Tab. What better way to waste an hour than scouring our pages for the latest uni goss and scandal. And yes, it does count as reading so well done!

6.) Drinking instead of revising

Let’s face it, the library is right next to the union, so you might as well pop in for a cheeky vodka or five before facing revision – or instead of revision. If it’s happy hour then it just calls for a cheeky bit of alcohol to get those brain cells going – or destroy them.

7.) Finding the best and worst dressed

Now the Robbo is the new place to be, analysing everyones outfits is perfect for procrastination. Let’s face it you unleash your inner Gok Wan! Finding the worst flip flops combo is a great way to procrastinate.

8.) Smoking

Jesmond is full of you chain smokers, so what better way to procrastinate than to destroy your lungs with nicotine? If you’re really an absolute rebel then smoking right in front of the no smoking sign is essential. We say turn to rollies for absolute procrastination – rolling them takes up at east another minute of your revision time.

So, well done for actually turning to the Robbo, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll actually revise.
