I Did These 20 Things Instead of Writing My Odyssey Article

If my middle name wasn't Rachelle, it would definitely be Procrastination.

If my middle name wasn't Rachelle, it would certainly be Procrastination. Procrastinating is an art I have come to master and I'm not ashamed of it in the least. While I usually think of my Odyssey articles up well ahead of time, this week my ideas have been slacking. So I thought I would write about the other things I did this week instead of writing my article.

1. I rewrote the draft title of my article fifteen different times.

2. I played laser tag with my cat.

3. On Tuesday night, I went to Applebee's with my friends and ate half-priced apps.

4. I did my homework (woah.)

5. For an hour and a half, I played with my makeup.

6. I took a quiz that calculated my life expectancy. Apparently, I'm living until I'm 89.

7. On Sunday, I watched Black Panther, which is a pretty amazing movie!

8. I absolutely had to do my laundry so that is what I did on Saturday evening.

9. I Instagram stalked three different corgi accounts.

10. I took approximately 13 naps throughout the week.

11. I Googled weird things for an hour.

12. On Friday, I took my choir folder out and practiced my music.

13. I gave myself a pedicure.

14. My Spotify account played a bunch of hits, so I danced around my kitchen.

15. I belted to Taylor Swift at least thirteen times.

16. I found my cute, reusable water bottle buried deep in my backpack.

17. My best friend and I played Jeopardy with Alexa and lost.

18. I thought of five different article ideas before settling for this one.

19. I learned how to make grilled cheese in the oven.

20. I planned my dream home on my Pinterest account.

As you can see, my week has been incredibly busy and productive. I probably should have written my article three days before the due date instead of three hours before, but that's why life is full of lessons! Catch me here again next week with a better planned article!

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.
