5 Signs You're A Procrastinator

We're all guilty of pushing off our to-do list from time to time. If it doesn't have to be done now, then why do it? Here's a few signs you're a citizen of #procrastiNATION

1. You snooze your alarm.

Ugh, there it is again, that dreadful buzzer. Every morning, it's just as annoying as the day before. Get up, ya bum! It's time to wake up! It's time to—hit the snooze button. That's what time it is. Ah, yes, five more minutes. Ten more minutes. Fifteen more minutes. You didn't want to be on time anyway, right? Good.

2. You look for snacks.

After all, you can't concentrate on an empty stomach! Food is brain power, so it makes sense to grab something to chew on before you get down to business. This is an important decision, though. One that can make or break your study session.

3. You check social media.

Before you can really focus all of your attention on the task at hand, you have to make sure nothing important is happening elsewhere in the world. You start with your favorite social network and scroll through until you've seen it all. This one could take a while. God forbid you miss a single Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat post. What if a new iPhone model is released?! Or one of your friends gets engaged?! Better refresh the page just in case.

4. You take a nap.

What's more productive than closing your eyes for a bit? Just a little 20-minute cat nap. Just kidding. Two hours later, you're wondering what year you woke up in. Congratulations, you slept through half the day.

5. You make long lists.

One of the biggest problems for procrastinators is using organization as a means to stall. You know you have work to do, so instead of actually starting it, you make a list. At first, you feel like you've really accomplished something, but then you realize all you've done is waste time.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
