Not many people enjoy doing homework, and that is understandable. When it comes to getting work done there are three kinds of people: the people who sit down and get it done, the people who prefer to procrastinate and do it last minute, and the people who do a little bit of both. It is very easy to distract yourself from the boring world of homework, and if you are a procrastinator than you've probably done a few of the following things. Here are 25 things you've probably done when you should have been doing homework:

1. Watched Netflix
2. Taken a nap
3. Gone to the gym
4. Scrolled through all of your social media accounts
5. Cleaned/Did Laundry
6. On-line shopping
7. Real life shopping
8. Showered
9. Called your family/ friends back home
10. Called it a day and just went to bed
11. Created a new playlist on Spotify
12. Distracted your roommate from their homework and talked about whatever came to your mind
13. Went to get food or focused way more on your snack than your textbook
14.Sat/lay on the floor and thought about life
15. Looked out the window and saw everyone else having a good time while your stuck doing work
16. Checked the weather
17. Planned ways to not procrastinate
18. Watched YouTube videos, because you can never just watch one
19. Thought about all of the things that you have to do and made a list
20. Checked your bank account and cried because there is way less money than you thought in there
21. Sang all the words to your favorite Disney song
22. Remembered a hobby that you haven't done in a while and decided to give it a try
23. Looked at places you could go for the next vacation
24. Paid attention to the conversation in your group message instead of your notes
25.Wrote your Odyssey article for the week

Some of these are simple things that don't take much time, but chances are if you do one, another is soon to follow. Procrastination is something that comes with the life of being a student, I am not saying that it is a good thing, but it happens. Some of you probably even read this article because you are procrastinating. Don't let procrastination get the best of you, but if you are going to do it, make sure you are doing something worth it!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
