Because There Is Always Something Better To Do

What is homework?

Because There Is Always Something Better To Do
Daniel Alvarez Sanchez

Studying for the average college student can be v-time consuming and can easily stress us out. It's important to balance out other parts of our lives as well, and take some time for ourselves. This week I decided to make a list of "10 Things I'd Rather Do Than Study." Invest in these ways of procrastination, and enjoy the time of rest.

1. Take a nap.

Who doesn't like naps?! They allow our brains to take a break from those long homework assignments. Treat yo' self, take one, two..hell take three naps if you want to.


2. Take a walk.

Enjoy God's beautiful creation is a great way to relieve some stress and take a breather from those study sessions. If its night time, look at the stars. Day time? Go look at the cloud. Make time to sit and watch the sunset every once in a while.


3. Go out to your favorite fast food place.

Going out to eat at my favorite fast food place is always a great decision after a stressful day of classes. Food always has good company. Who can say no to food?

4. Visit with your favorite people.

Those important people in our lives need attention too, so spending quality time with your friends or loved ones is important.

5. Watch Netflix.

Because binge watching Netflix by yourself in bed is much better than studying. Starting a new series is always better than homework.

6. Take a hot bath while listening to your favorite music.

Because relaxing in a hot bath is a great way to end your day instead of studying. Pop in some John Mayer, Sam Smith, or whatever your heart desires and focus on you!


7. Go shopping.

Retail therapy is sometimes needed.

8. Take your dog to the park.

Taking your furry friend to the park will brighten their day more than yours. They need attention too.

9. Prepare yourself a home cooked meal.

Treating yourself to a healthy meal is sometimes needed after a stressful day.

10. Have a girls night 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
