14 Signs You're A Procrastinator

Number Five: You wait until a fixed time to start doing work.

14 Signs You're A Procrastinator

We've all experienced this blessing in a curse one way or another--but do you really have what it takes to be a procrastinator? Do you find yourself doing the majority of these things on a daily basis? Is this how you get all your work done, even if it is handed in on time? If so, I'm afraid you've joined the club.

1. You find yourself rushing to do all your work the night before it's due.

2. You constantly get distracted by everything.

Since when did the wall become so interesting?

3. You take a food break every 15 minutes.

I mean, you need energy to work, right?

4. You keep telling yourself you need a relaxation day… almost every day.

5. You wait until a fixed time to start doing work.

You say you’ll start at exactly 8:00 PM, but as soon as you look at the time and see that it’s 8:01, you decide to start at 9:00 PM.

And before you know it, it’s 9:01, and then 10:01, and the cycle repeats.

6. You always sleep in.

Because who would want to get up early to do work?

7. You’re a disorganized mess.

8. You find yourself daydreaming a lot.

9. You’re always looking for excuses to put off your work.

10. You use Sparknotes for all those essays.

And you somehow manage to write a five page paper on a novel you never read.

11. You find yourself doing everything but what you’re supposed to do.

12. You’re always asking everyone if they got their work done.

Because if they didn’t start yet either, are you really procrastinating?

13. You realize how much work you have, freak out, put if off some more, then freak out AGAIN because you have no motivation to do it.

14. Speaking of motivation, the only one you have is the deadline.

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.
