22 Things You Become An Expert On When You're Procrastinating

From actually making your bed for the first time to getting ahead on another class's homework, I present to you a fraction of the topics you're probably an expert in already.

1. The history of the English language.

Or at least some random facts about it.

2. Every single time that Benedict Cumberbatch has appeared on the Graham Norton Show and the facts he shared.

3. The technical terms of how to draw and do art things.

Even if you can’t actually execute the skills.

4. The fantasy world of Flow by Honey B

Honestly check it out on Webtoons even if you’re not procrastinating; this comic is amazing.

5. The sped up Tasty version of how to make pretty much any kind of food.

Because let’s be real, Tasty doesn’t actually teach you how to make food, it just taunts you with easy looking recipes that you give up halfway through if you ever actually build up enough motivation to try it.

6. The lyrics to P!nk’s entire discography, her back story, and current news.

7. How to separate the tabs open on your web browser into different windows so that you don’t have a nervous breakdown looking at 41 tabs for 7 different projects and instead of have to click through 10 different windows just to find the one you’re looking for (the one that’s due first).

That math didn’t make sense, but then again, nothing makes sense when you’re procrastinating.

8. Orangutan behavior, morphology, and habitats.

Yes, ANTH143, I’m talking about your Evolve a Primate project right now.

9. The location of all those leftovers that you could never find when you’re starving but all of sudden have shown up, and would you look at the time, it sounds like a good time for a late night snack.


10. The theory behind liars, how to spot them, and how to confuse people how to spot them.


All those detective shows you’re binging on Netflix and Amazon Prime have to be good for something.

11. Calligraphy, but specifically, the calligraphy you do on your own arms.

Or alternatively doodling which spreads across your entire notes and obscures the actual information.

12. Bending in all four elements.

You'd basically be the avatar with how long you have avoided your responsibilities.

13. Science. Every scientific subject.

I mean ASAP Science, Crash Course, and Bozeman Science just make it so easy…and fun! No? Just me? Okay, never mind.

14. Finding small spaces to panic in because you know that the deadline is coming up in 2 hours but you haven’t concentrated enough to even start yet.

Personally, I suggest under the stairs…it’s quite a comfy spot to fit into.

15. Dancing, the intricacies of choreographing, and how to choose the perfect song to go along with those sweet, sweet moves.

Well, in theory at least. I mean the videos make the moves look so easy, right?

16. The fastest way to solve rubrics cubes.

I mean, now’s as good a time as any, right?

17. Organization.

New lists where you can cross out everything you’ve done in the day? Yes please! Cleaning up that cluttered gmail inbox with 10 million new labels? Don’t even sweat it!

18. The best paths to take long walks on campus.

Because sometimes you just need a breather, never mind that your project is due in 3 hours.

19. Writing Odyssey articles.

Or anything else, really.

20. Bonus hypochondriac area of expertise: Every single illness that you maybe, might have.

I mean, my slightly stuffed nose isn’t just from allergies, right? I have the plague; I just know it.

22. Bonus nerd point: every single canon detail of Harry Potter and which facts are canon and which are fanon.

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.
