I'll Do It... Eventually... Maybe?

Ok, Probably Not... But Why Do I Do This??

I'll Do It... Eventually... Maybe?

Although I wouldn't say I'm the world's worst procrastinator, I'm pretty close. I lack motivation in many areas that I wish I could be more productive in. For instance, I want to live a healthy lifestyle by exercising and eating healthy but the motivation is just not there. I work at a gym and can't even get myself to workout. Now the eating healthy part comes from being broke, but that's another story.

If it is able to be pushed aside, you can bet that I've done it before. I will even wait to eat just to see if someone else wants to go with me. Procrastination does, however, show me what I really enjoy doing. I do my job well because I enjoy it. I get things done if I find it useful.

That being said, I definitely don't see procrastination as a bad thing all of the time. If I am procrastinating, I can look at it and really ask myself why I am doing so. It has made me realize a lot about myself. Like the classes I enjoy, or the groups I am involved with.

Homework is a very commonly procrastinated subject for me, however, I believe I chose the right major because I don't typically push those classes' assignments aside, unless I have just completely forgotten in altogether, which I have also done. Many times.

I do actually hate that I procrastinate so much but I promise I am working on it. Getting assignments and projects done early, clearing my head of distractions and other remedies that I found on Google help a lot!

So if others find themselves in my situation, take a moment to ask yourself why you are procrastinating and see if there is something you can do to change it, whether that be how you go about facing the task, or simply removing it from your life. I think people too often see procrastination as this horrible thing that causes people to become slackers when they could really use it to determine if what they are doing is really meaningful and useful to them or their future.

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.
