List Fifty Five.

A list of reasons why procrastinating is severely more exciting than doing your laundry.

1. Laundry is for plebeians.
2. Depending on your living situation, sometimes it's a coin-op. Procrastinating is totally free.
3. There are probably way more trendy t-shirts you can buy regarding procrastination than ones talking about laundry.
4. Laundry doesn't allow you to do anything but wait. Procrastinating is a versatile past-time, ranging from listening to music, petting a cat, or even sky-diving (only for the extreme procrastinator).
5. Procrastinating has the Latin prefix "Pro" which is positive in meaning. Most people don't know this, but laundry is an ancient Etruscan word for "must be avoided at all costs because the task is so boring."
6. There are more accidents associated with laundry than procrastinating. For example: the tragedy of sweater-shrinkage, or the slipping into a puddle whilst carrying a load of FRESHLY CLEANED LAUNDRY. Procrastinating rarely results in harm.
7. Procrastination is much more easily rhymed than laundry. This proves to be very useful whenever you find yourself in a freestyle competition.
8. Folding, hanging and putting away laundry is so much more exhausting than procrastinating.
9. Laundry is a chore that is a never-ending cycle of horror. You can stop or resume procrastinating whenever you like.
10. In creating this list, I have effectively procrastinated and perhaps produced some chuckles. When I go and perform my laundry duty, no one laughs at me, and I get upset.
