42 Ways to Procrastinate Finals
City Girl Bites

As some schools wind down for the semester, Lander University students are still working through a couple more days of finals. I was lucky enough to have an 8 A.M final on Thursday morning (which will sound more awesome in a minute) and no final on Friday. I have one more final on Monday. However, like many other students in my shoes, I will not be studying. I will spend my time procrastinating and waiting until it is almost too late to study or be responsible to even think about studying or doing anything productive. I have put together a helpful list of ways in which you can procrastinate too…

1. Refresh all of your social media platforms at least 2 times per minute.

2. Read a book.

3. Go to the lake.

4. Go to Starbucks.

5. Don’t take your binder or computer to the library.

6. Take your phone to the library.

7. Take a nap.

8. Watch 3-5 movies a day.

9. Shop online.

10. Post finals week themed selfies.

11. Go get food for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time.

12. Color.

13. Color anything.

14. Check Snapchat again.

15. Check to make sure you didn’t miss a text notification.

16. Take another nap.

17. Go out.

18. Study for a final that isn't until the end of the week.

19. Go shopping.

20. Go on a date.

21. Buy a Secret Santa gift.

22. Swap Secret Santa gifts with your friends.

23. Go to a tacky sweater party.

24. House hunt.

25. House hunt online.

26. Go to said houses.

27. Clean your apartment.

28. Go to work.

29. Have a dance party in your living room.

30. Pick out the perfect legging/t-shirt combo for tomorrow.

31. Do laundry.

32. Make plans for after finals.

33. Make study snacks.

34. Work out.

35. Go for a cruise.

36. Cook that new Pinterest recipe.

37. Watch cat videos.

38. Watch dancing videos.

39. Volunteer.

40. Go to sleep too early.

41. Check your grades every five minutes.

42. Check your email for a holiday sale coupon.

I hope this list is helpful to you. If you have already finished this semester, I hope you found some great ways to procrastinate and waste your time next semester. Good luck on your finals and have a safe Winter Break!!!

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.
