The summer is here, and it is time to relax! Well at least you want to relax, but you have three online classes,and summer reading to do all before you go to the beach because you want to make sure that you're completely relaxed there. Although you might thing that you are sincerely making an effort to get your life together, some of these examples of procrastination might make you realize that you've got a bad case of procrastination. So before you do any hard work to get that reward of the sand in your toes and wind in your hair, why don't you take a little read of all the ways you can avoid getting stuff done.

1. It’s 10 p.m. when you suddenly realize that your room could really use a good cleaning.


I’m talking scrubbing the wall, washing your sheets, and reorganizing your closet!

2. Fulfilling your lifelong dream of becoming a pastry chef!

You take over the kitchen by not only baking but eating everything in sight!

3. You become a make-up artist. Make a few editorials, and you cake your face with new make-up ideas for hours.

Taking it all off is a whole other story!

4. Let’s not forget about the hours of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter stalking that can be done.

It’s so much more important to know who is dating who than it is to study for your bio final!

5. Selfie-taking is another very dangerous side effect of the horrible disease of procrastination!

After you contemplate between the “duck face” and “smeyes” you’re only 1/3 of the way there. After that you have to figure out a filter and who social media it is appropriate to post on.

6. You know when procrastinating you’re about to binge watch "Grey’s Anatomy" on Netflix even though you finished it three months ago!

Don’t worry! It’s totally natural to cry yourself to sleep all over again!

7. Let’s not forget the queen of all procrastination... BuzzFeed videos!


By the end of the night it will be hard to look at anything without rating it as a win or a fail.

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.
