Because you have all night to do that assignment, right?

The 11 Stages Of Procrastination

1. Denial

What? No, of course I don't have a huge test tomorrow! Well, I mean, I do but it's not like I have to study super hard for it. I'll just look over my notes later! It will be easy peasy!

2. Nap Time

It will be physically impossible to fit all of this information into my overly exhausted brain. I mean, there is just no way I will be able to remember everything if I'm tired.

3. Extreme Motivation

You wake up four hours later feeling refreshed and ready to rock and roll.

4. The To-Do List

Instead of applying all of that insane energy directly to studying, you channel it into creating an extremely detailed, color-coded, and alphabetized to-do list.

5. The Procrasticlean

Now that your school life is all organized, it's only fair that you apply this to the rest of your life, right?!

6. Nap Time (Round Two)

All of that cleaning and organizing left you feeling a little drained, and you may or may not have fallen asleep while reading through your textbook. That's okay, though. Osmosis works with studying too, right?

7. Cue Crisis Mode

All right, it's time to get down to business. You crack open your notebook and start reading through your notes. About halfway through, you realize that you have absolutely no idea what the heck is going on.

8. Tears of Defeat

Each tear that slides down your face feels like a small piece of your future drifting away right in front of your eyes

9. The Pep Talk

We can do this, do you hear me!? Wipe those tears off your face and cry on the inside like a winner!!

10. The Cram Session

The clock is ticking. All of the sudden, something comes over you, and you become a speed reading warlock. This new found sorcery may cause a little bit of maniacal laughter, but you just chalk that up to the shockingly high level of caffeine in your system.

11. Self High Five

Congratulations! It may have taken you all day and a good chunk of the night to get it done, but you did it! Now get some sleep, kid. You deserve it!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
