Once the real workload sets in and the various essays and exams begin to pile up, procrastination inevitably hits us all. If you're reading this, you're probably procrastinating right now. Here are 15 other ways every college student procrastinates.

1. Binge watching Netflix.

Once you're halfway into a season, how are you expected to stop?

2. Cleaning everything.

You have a sudden urge to clean every room in your house until it's pristine.

3. Checking yourself out.

Your reflection has suddenly become the most interesting thing in the world.

4. Stalking people on social media.

How you arrived on your best friend's cousin's lab partner's profile, you'll never know.

5. Stalking yourself on social media.

"Wait, how many people unfollowed me?"

6. Posting a picture/status of you "studying."

7. Then staring at your phone and checking every new like/notification that pops up.

This habit is starting to become a problem.

8. Making a new Spotify playlist.

This'll be perfect to study to.

9. Deciding it's finally time to go through all your unopened emails.

It's an issue that must be dealt with immediately.

10. Daydreaming.

One minute you're halfway through the first question in your homework, the next you're thinking about that awesome sandwich you had for lunch last Tuesday.

11. Going to get a snack.

How can you be expected to study without brain food?

12. Staring at all the work you have to do in complete silence.

Don't you wish you could just...

13. Going deep into that weird part of YouTube.

How did it come to this?

14. Wondering how that person you had a random crush on in middle school is doing.

Need. To. Focus.

15. Texting your friends in hopes that they're being as unproductive as you are.

Don't worry, you'll get it done...eventually.

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.
