Procrastination is the downfall of even the strongest students, so the season the of finals is hitting everyone right where it hurts. In an effort to ease the stress, everyone is coming up with ridiculous excuses not to study. Here is a list of things we are all doing to avoid each dreaded 500 page textbook:

1. Cleaning your room even though it's already clean.

"I once washed my sheets to put off writing an essay. That was the only time I've ever washed my sheets." -Anonymous

2. Calling your parents.

They do miss you, but maybe interrupting their sleep in the name of procrastination isn't a good idea.

3. Oh, they didn't pick up, maybe it's time to talk to that one friend that you met two summers ago at camp.

It's been awhile, but maybe it should stay that way.

4. Making up for all the exercise you didn't do this year.

But maybe don't try to do it all in one night.

5. Getting something to eat.

But instead of consulting your fridge or going to the cafeteria you decide to get food from the really obscure hole-in-the-wall across town that doesn't deliver.

Stay strong kids, don't let procrastination win.

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.

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.
