Procrastination, it happens to all of us occasionally. However, others live with this trait for just about every aspect of their lives. Whether it be procrastinating a homework assignment, work deadline, or even just taking out the trash or doing laundry; we all find something a bit more important to do, instead of finishing that specific task.

1. You understand what it's like to power through an assignment 10 minutes before it's due.

Although you've had all day or all week to complete the assignment, you put it off until 10 minutes before the due date and utilize every speed writing skill you have.

2. You frequently use the phrase, "Oh, I'll get to it."

No matter how much everyone reminds you to just get that task done right in the moment, you know that you will EVENTUALLY get to it.


3. You are more than familiar with finding every unnecessary task to be done before your most important one.

If you have three hours to submit a deadline, you decide you'll finally organize your closet, clean your whole house, and finish that novel you've been thinking about doing ALL before you get to the deadline that's due tonight.


4. You dread Sunday afternoons because you realize you're running out of time to put your responsibilities off.

The "Sunday scary's" are as real as ever for those who procrastinate all of their responsibilities away.


5. You constantly believe that your future self will have their sh*t together.

Even though you do nothing to change your procrastination tendencies, you still somehow believe a switch will flip in your head one day, and you will end up like the put-together adult you so readily imagine yourself to be.

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.
