High school is a drag, especially in Japan. Along with all the typical tests and homework that come with being a student, there’s a seemingly never-ending list of rules (you must wear special indoor shoes, wear a mask if you’re sick, open all the windows in the dead of winter to ventilate the room) that are enough to make even the most diligent of students want to scream. That’s why these Japanese students are really nailing this high school thing. Not only have they found a way to have a little fun amongst the stress and pressure of school life, they’re pulling it off with style and creativity that not only brings a smile to their own faces, but the faces of procrastinating netizens all over the world. Nailed it!

▼ A real-life Prince of Tennis.
▼ Extreme planking at its best.
▼ She most definitely failed the test…but look at that friendly robot cat face. Worth it?
▼ Quidditch, anyone?
▼ She’s not procrastinating, she created a hand to do her homework for her.
▼ The perfect way to sleep in class undetected. There are headless students, right?
▼ Half past four and still at school? Go ahead, duel in the classroom. You’ve earned it.
