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.

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.
