Women can typically be found procrastinating on the elliptical, pretending to multi-task by reading magazines like Glamour, Vogue, Cosmo or Teen People. Toting such high-quality publications creates a false sense of productivity, thus lessening the guilt associated with avoiding work. Even if you do poorly on finals, you’re going to be one toned mama...
