Procrastinating in college is inevitable. It consists of "I'll do it laters", "I've got plenty of time", and my favorite "I deserve a break". Our sleep schedules are messed up, we never know our relationship status, and let's be honest, professors never put grades in until the last minute. There are so many things to do for your procrastinating needs. Might I suggest Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon prime? If you are a college student, you NEED at least one of these for your sanity. With the winter-time blues and the brute of second semester looming, here are 12 shows to watch to avoid real life:

1. "Wentworth"

The Australian equivalent to Orange is the New Black.

2. "Nurse Jackie"

Funny. Sad. And all around great 20 min episodes to pass time

3. "The Office". Duh.

What else needs to be said. This is the OG of procrastinating television.

4. "Drop Dead Diva"

I watch this when I want to pretend that I'm studying law, but actually, I'm getting second-hand drama from this addicting show.

5. "Fuller House"

Corny. I know. But it's nostalgic and only 20 min commitment

6. "New Girl"

It is realistically unrealistic. Love sitcoms that make you believe in love and also hate it at the same time.

7. "How to Get Away with Murder"

Addicting. Empowering women. Taking names.

8. "Phineas and Ferb"

A true childhood Disney cult classic, right at the click of a mouse.

9. "That 70's Show"

Cuz' who doesn't love to watch Kelso and Jackie kill it on this show but also IRL.

10. "Real Husbands of Hollywood"

Reality TV is great, but a parody show about reality tv is even better.

11. "American Crime"

The hours will fly by watching this dramatic show meant to raise questions.

12. "Blue Bloods"

Mustache game on point and a true crime show. Second only to Law and Order: SVU

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
