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!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
