We’ve all done it, put off our work until the absolute last minute to do our projects and rush to get them done. Though we all procrastinate, there are all different methods of doing so. Here are some ways we all procrastinate.

1. Watching random yet funny videos on YouTube

Always a good way to kill time and put off all of your work.

2. Cleaning

Every time I need to get something done, I end up cleaning my entire apartment before I start the project that actually needs to get done.

3. Conversing with your roommates

Starting a mediocre conversation about nothing and getting really passionate about it in order to try and kill time.

4. Mess with social media on your phone or laptop

Probably the most common way to procrastinate for anybody. Looking up what everyone else is doing just makes it really easy to get distracted by what you are supposed to be doing.

5. Over-speculation of random thoughts that cross your mind

Looking back over your life and every choice you have ever made really makes time fly when you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing.

6. Taking more time than necessary to get weirdly comfortable before starting your work

You can’t get anything done until you are comfortable enough to work.

7. Getting organized

I swear that I spend more time organizing my stuff than I spend actually working.

8. Finding a lot of other things that you think need done but don’t

Other assignments, grocery shopping, putting laundry away; anything other than what you are actually supposed to be doing.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
