35 Ways To Procrastinate

Do you have something you're avoiding?

Natalie Harmening

Chicago, Illinois

1. Go on Facebook

If you don't use it- redownload that dusty app and start adding to your profile. If you are an avid Facebook-er then log on and get comfy. Don't hesitate to watch every cute dog video, every epic fail video, or stalk whoever shows up on your timeline.

2. Try a new hairstyle

Just because you can.

3. Go on Instagram

Go 485 days back and like every single post. Better yet, comment on every post.

4. Start writing a story

5. Read a book

6. Watch all of the Lord of the Rings Movies

And then read the books.

7. Then read all of Harry Potter books

And then watch the movies.

8. Netflix

Chill if you choose.

9. Take a bubble bath

Choose a nice candle and enjoy.

10. Google bad puns

Send the worst to your best friends and the rest to anyone in your contact book named Mark.

11. Brush your teeth

You can never have too good of hygiene.

12. Decorate your room

13. Start a craft

I suggest looking on Pinterest for "inspiration".

14. Shop online

Nothing like a little retail therapy.

15. Become a writer for Odyssey

Add another task to your plate so that you can avoid the other stuff!

16. Workout?

If you're into that...

17. Go for a walk

18. Make Mac N Cheese

It takes longer than easy mac which means more time away from whatever you're supposed to be doing.

19. Try on all of your clothes

20. Explore Spotify

Listen to music you normally wouldn't.

21. Practice winged eyeliner

If you're into that...

22. Cry

it relieves the stress

23. Take a nap

You shouldn't need to be persuaded to sleep more.

24. Get something pierced

Sorry Mom.

25. Eat.

Everything and anything that is in your line of sight

26. Debate the pronunciation of Gif

27. Sit and watch paint dry

Once you feel light headed from the fumes, walk away.

28. Catch a butterfly

It might take a few hours, especially if it's winter.

29. Call your Mom

Don't tell her you are procrastinating though (sorry again Mom)

30. Color in an adult coloring book

Or a children's one if thats all you can find / spend your money on

31. Buy a Lego kit

Assemble it too.

32. Watch all of your friends Snapchat stories

Watch every second- NO SKIPPING AROUND. Learn from DJ Khaled and get a head rub while you're at it.

33. Learn how to play an instrument

If you don't already play one

34. Play your instrument

If you can.

35. Turn on your local sports team

Watch the game whether you understand sports or not.

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

You're gonna make it after all.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
