15 Things You Do Except The Thing You Are Supposed To Do

Even though it is summer, we all have things we are supposed to be doing. Applying for that scholarship. Finishing up that study abroad reflection. Start that Odyssey article that is due tonight. Figure out exactly how you're going to pay rent for your apartment. You know, those general things everyone needs to be doing (right? please say right) but hasn't yet. Yet, of course, we haven't done those things because we are too busy doing the things we aren't supposed to be doing.

Get ready for the 15 things you do except the thing you are supposed to be doing:

1. Delete all the unnecessary pictures off your camera roll

You have to free up that space so you can take more dramatic selfies in that prime lighting you discovered in the bathroom.

2. Bake cookies

I always go for chocolate chip, but any type of cookie applies here. It will give you something to make you feel productive without actually being productive.

3. Figure out your next hairstyle

To Pinterest!

4. Eat the cookies

Once you have found the perfect picture of a blonde balayage to show to your hairstylist you can finally eat the cookies you made. Take a seat, enjoy the moment and eat every single last one until all that is left is crumbs and your regrets.

5. Read a book that is not for school

May I suggest Saint Anything by the amazingly talented Sarah Dessen? I read it in one day and felt immense sadness the moment it was over. That's how you know you just read a really, really good story.

6. Watch 'Friends'

I will never, not suggest this.

7. Stalk your favorite celebrities Instagram's

Justin Baldoni from Jane the Virgin (#teamrafael) is my favorite to stalk because he is pretty, his wife is pretty, his child is pretty and his life, in general, is pretty. A few minutes of checking out his Instagram feed you will start to feel pretty too.

8. Try and buy Kylie Jenner's limited edition birthday bundle makeup set

All I have to say on this subject is the third try was NOT the charm...

9. Drop your phone on the floor and shatter the screen

Or don't.

10. Read this article

Much thanks for opening this weird little listicle and getting this far. From me to you, thank you so much for taking the time to read my little rants and such. It means the world to me!

11. Call your parents

Am I the only one who enjoys talking to my mom and dad?

12. Bug your friends as they try to do the thing they are supposed to do

Then you can create a horde of people who aren't doing what they are supposed to do. Just imagine it, an army of procrastinators! You wouldn't get anything done, but at least you wouldn't feel bad about not writing out your detailed plan for world domination. You and your comrades will be too busy playing Pokémon Go.

13. Plan out your birthday party

So what if it is five months away? You might as well get a head start on something!

14. Write a rap and then participate in a rap battle

It's titled 'Love and Cheese'.

15. Tell people about how there is something you're supposed to do, but instead, you are doing something else

They may not care, but at least it is something to do.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
