Doing Nothing Is My Favorite Thing To Do

And no, that does not make me lazy.

Doing Nothing Is My Favorite Thing To Do
Sydnie Newman

I am a college student. I have two to three classes every day. I then, usually, have homework or need to study for my classes. I also love to work out, so I try to work out at least five times a week. I also have a job that I work about 15 hours a week. I love my social life. I love to hang out with my friends whether it is going to dinner, or checking out a cool new pop-up in Raleigh, or going downtown for a fun night out.

I love to keep busy and constantly doing things, but sometimes I want to just chill and relax.

There are lots of things I love to do, but doing nothing is one of my favorite things do. Just taking a day off from my life and lying in bed watching movies, or reading at a cool coffee shop, or chilling on the couch watching reruns of Sex and The City are some of my favorite "nothing" activities.

Even though doing nothing is not necessarily an activity, it is my favorite activity. When I have a busy week, I plan a couple hours over the weekend to just relax and not think about anything. This allows me to relax and unwind, something I wish I could do more often.

Everyone needs a break, including all my friends and roommates. Since we all like to relax every once in a while, it is especially fun to do nothing with my friends and roommates. Getting food to-go and eating it while watching movies with my roommates makes doing nothing ever more fun. It's always nice to unwind with others who are just as busy as you.

If you’ve never done nothing, I highly recommend it. It really is a luxury (to me at least).

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.
