12 Things I Should Be Doing Right Now

I've been putting so many things off this summer and I've decided to put an end to it.

Procrastination. It hits even the best of us like a freight train and drags us along for the ride the whole ten yards. This summer, and unfortunately other times of the year, I have been hit hard with the I just don't want to do anything bug. Even though this so called "bug" can be good sometimes to have, at other times it is an inconvenience and it prohibits me and others who have been feeling the same way from getting the things they need to get done done. To help to further motivate me to get stuff done, I have decided to make a list of things that I should be doing instead of watching YouTube or mindlessly scrolling through Twitter. Perhaps you can relate to some of the situations or items mentioned on this list or maybe you can't. However, here are 12 things I should be doing right now.

1. Working on an Article for Next Week

Being early is always nice and it relieves the stress when it comes closer to the deadline.

2. Practicing Sewing

Practice makes perfect as they say and I haven't practiced my sewing much at all. I would like to hop back on the wagon of sewing in time for my next convention.

3. Working

It's always good to have a little extra money on you.

4. Exercising

Recently I have been getting into shape and exercising will help me push myself farther as well as give me some of that mean muscle.

5. Hanging Out With Friends

So, uh, guys. Want to hang out? I want to see you before you go back to school!

6. Figuring Out Cosplays

Everyone who knows me well enough knows that I am terrible with decisions and there is no exception when it comes to cosplay. For literally months I have been stuck choosing between characters.

7. Spending Time With My Family

My family and I have grown closer due to recent events, but it's still nice to hang out with each other once in a while.

8. Figuring Out My Financial Aid

Oh, yes, it's that time of year again where financial deadlines are on the rise and you better hop to it before it's to late.

9. Dancing

Whether it be folk dancing or dancing in your room, it is more productive than sitting on the computer all day.

10. Cleaning My Room

This is me looking at what my room has become. Honestly my room is a god awful mess and I need to clean it up sometime this summer.

11. Buying My Books

School is around the corner and books are going to be needed. To be honest I'm ready for school to start.

12. Catching Up On TV Series

Hey! At least I'm not on the computer!

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.
