4 Tips To Surviving Laziness

I'd like to think that I'm the quite a decisive person. But when it comes to doing things I'm supposed to do, I tend to have two thoughts. The first is, should I do it now? And the second is, can I wait until tomorrow to do it? The second thought usually wins, and I go back to my laziness. But it's not easy being lazy. Sometimes I'm even too lazy to be lazy. How could that be possible, you may ask. It happens, trust me. Especially now that I'm in college. Laziness is one of those things we do without really thinking about it. Need more examples? I'll show you through some scenarios, and you will be quick to realize that you relate to them.

1. Hitting Snooze When your Alarm Goes Off

We hit the snooze and just ask for five more minutes when we really know it means another hour. In our minds, we know there is a slight chance that we will wake up, but sleep sounds so much better. Being in bed suddenly is God's gift to the world. But considering snooze exist,s we also set more alarms close to each other to wake us up. In the end, we eventually get the nerve to get up, but it's a lot harder.

2. When You Have to Prepare the Food You Want to Eat

The struggle is too real! Especially when we look at our pantry and it's full, but we are too lazy to prepare food. Or even sometimes back home, I would walk over to my fridge and just stare at it thinking something would occur to me. Snacks are the best thing in this type of situation, because we can just pull it out of the pantry and go off to do nonsense. Even the shortest distance is still far enough. To make food or not make food is the question.

3. When a Friend Asks You to Go Out but You Come Up With an Excuse Not to Socialize.

If you go out, that means having to put in effort to look nice and talking to people. That isn't fun when you are trying to follow the laziness rules. Sometimes when I'm lazy all I want to do is stay in my pajamas and Netflix and chill all by myself. Then we go to complain that we need to get a social life, yet every single opportunity comes. Staying in bed sounds better.

4. Realizing There Is Always Tomorrow, So You Go to Sleep

Sleep is so comforting, and during the week there is so much going on. The weekend we get to really sleep all we want. There is always tomorrow to finish what we have to do, hopefully. In sleep, we don't have to think of things that we have to do, and we get to relax. I mean, we can't even focus much all day, so sleep will make the day go by. As college students we are very sleep-deprived, so the times we get to sleep is heaven. Things will get done eventually right?

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.
