Let’s face it, we all do it. Unfortunately, procrastination comes naturally to almost all of us. We’d be lying if we said we didn’t kind of enjoy the small rush that comes along with a late-night cramming session. The biggest issue we procrastinators face is finding things to distract us from our work. Once we’ve finished combing through Facebook, we sometimes run out of ideas. So, here it is my fellow procrastinators, an index of sources for putting off work:


Create a new song playlist.

Obviously, you need a studying playlist and the one you made a week ago just doesn’t cut it anymore. Take some time to put together that perfect set of songs. It’s good to know your priorities are in check.

Shop online.

You definitely deserve a new bathing suit after spending that long 10 minutes filling out three study guide questions. Plus, shopping is productive too, right?

Tag friends in memes on Instagram.

Chances are you’ve already looked through your friends’ personal photos from the last two days. Now the obvious thing to do is look through popular accounts and tag your best friends in relatable posts. See if you can find one about how much school sucks #reallyrelatable.

Check sports.

Whether it’s the score of your favorite team or the schedule for the next home game, it’s definitely more important than studying for that Econ test.

Eat.

Who doesn’t love a snack break? If you’re really feeling desperate to get away from your responsibilities, then just head out for some food. You’re killing two birds with one stone—avoiding homework and satisfying your craving for Mexican food.

Talk to the people you’re studying with.

It’s not procrastination unless you’re doing it together!

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.
