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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
