7 Ways To Be Professionally Lazy

Laziness is a virtue and possibly the most important one at that. It is not only a skill but an art form to be able to live a normal life while also being as lazy as humanly possible. What is important is making sure that no one notices because they will most likely call you out and try to get you to do something productive, and that's absolutely unacceptable. For newly lazy people, here are some tips to being a professional lazy person:

1. Constantly pretend that the documentary you are watching is for a class or a research project.

That way your endless Netflix watching seems like an important task that cannot be disturbed or stopped.

2. Wear work out clothes so that it seems like you are always about to or have just come from the gym.

You never actually have to work out, but the attire will convince people that you are always about to be really cool and fit.

3. Wear the same four shirts all the time so that laundry is nonexistent.

It might be sort of unsanitary, but laziness over cleanliness, people. If you are one of the lucky few who can just buy clothes whenever you want, you could just make sure to buy enough clothes so that laundry is a once month sort of deal, but we aren't all in that boat.

4. Invite people to your house.

It will seem like you are incredibly social and into planning gatherings. Although, the truth of course is the opposite because when you are inviting people over you get to stay in the comfort of your own home and cross your fingers hoping people offer to bring food because you are hosting and they want to contribute.

5. Practice making very serious facial expressions.

That way even if you are staring off into space doing absolutely nothing, it will seem like you are thinking about incredibly deep things that will change the world.

6. Always make too much food and eat leftovers for as long as you can.

This is the ultimate lazy person tip because it covers so many different issues. For one, you will not have to do any dishes because you can eat out of a tupperware. Secondly you only have to cook like once a week that way. And, most importantly, you seem like a penny pincher and smart saver because you only use, like, five ingredients for your food.

7. Never talk about being lazy in front of people.

If you tell people you are lazy, they will notice it. It's like when you meet someone new and then you start seeing them everywhere. Once you tell people you are lazy, they will notice your laziness in everything that you do.

With finals about a month away, this time of year is prime lazy days and its' important to do it right. Make the best of your laziness because one day you'll need a job and all laziness goes out the window.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
