You're procrastinating right now aren't you?

17 Things Every Procrastinator has Said

Let's face it-- we all have something we like to put off to the last minute. Whether it be homework, studying, papers, you name it, we all procrastinate on something. Some of us have a tendency to procrastinate more than others, at times on purpose and other times we do it unconsciously. We like to find as many excuses as possible to push off work until it absolutely has to be done. Here are just a few that any procrastinator may say:

1. "I'll do it tomorrow."

Or the next day, or the day after that.


2. "My room looks awfully messy."

And you should definitely clean it before doing any work.


3. "Did I do my laundry this week?"

Can't have that basket full of clothes distracting you.


4. "Where is that funny video I saw last month?"


And then you somehow end up reading a Wikipedia article on the history of spaghetti.


5. I need a quick break.


"All I need is 15 minutes. I swear!"


6. "Just one more episode."

Otherwise all you will be thinking about is that cliffhanger.


7. "I should really check my messages."

What if someone sent you something really important a hour before your assignment was due?


8. "It's rude to say no when you're invited out to eat."

And we definitely don't want to seem rude.


9. "I still have 6 hours. No problem!"

I mean that a quarter of the day.


10. "A power nap will give me the energy I need to focus on this."

A power nap is like a hour or two, right?


11. "It's not worth that many points, it can't take so long to do."

Your grade doesn't hinge on this one assignment, right?


12. "My desk looks like it needs to be reorganized."

Cluttered desk, cluttered mind.


13. "I should go workout and take my mind off of things."

A nice jog should clear your head enough to focus.


14. "It might snow tomorrow, so I probably have more time to do it."

It says it will snow, so class is practically cancelled.


15. "I can get this paper done in an hour"

You've probably done in in less time that that too.


16. "I work best under pressure."

Sometimes you just need the right motivation.


17. "Due tomorrow. Do tomorrow."

It's our motto.

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.

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.
