7 Stages Of Procrastionation
kaboompics.com

Let's all face it, we've waited until the last minute to do something. I'll admit it, I've become the queen of procrastination since coming back to school. And we all sit here and we wonder how we got to the point of cramming in a 500-word paper 20 minutest before a class.

Stage 1: Getting the assignment.

You're sitting in class and you're handed the assignment. It could be worth 30 points and it could be worth 85 percent of your grade. You have a plan to do it all on time and to get every freaking point possible.

Stage 2: Not following Plan A

So after you get the assignment you're sitting at your desk in your dorm telling yourself, "I've got this. Just got to start with my schedule I made for the assignment." But...Netflix is just calling your name.

Stage 3: Just one more episode.


It's a few days before your assignment is due but that new show you just started and there's already a huge cliff hanger and then the next episode has a cliff hanger... and then the next...

Stage 4: Realizing you're out of time.


When you glance at the clock and realize that it's two in the morning and the project is due tomorrow.

Stage 5: So you bring out the Keurig


And so starts the all-nighter.

Stage 6: Realizing that your work is actually shit and trying to find a reason to blame anything and everything except yourself.


Don't lie, we all know you do it.

Stage 7: You get your grade back and think to yourself, "This won't happen again."

But it does.


And each and every time we face the battle of actually getting our shit together, we really don't. But let's face it, at least we kind of tried? That deserves a shout out.

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.
