How To Procrastinate On A Deadline
  1. Make a list on how to procrastinate when you have a deadline
  2. Proceed to following said list on how to procrastinate when you have a deadline
  3. Find BuzzFeed videos on how to procrastinate when you have a deadline
  4. While searching for said videos, you then stumble upon food videos on how to make delicious easy 5 minute meals…from your microwave
  5. You then try these tutorials and realize you can’t cook anything. Not even in a microwave
  6. Decide that you are now a failure. Look up inspirational videos on how to NOT be a failure
  7. While looking up inspirational videos on how not to be a failure, you then find a videos of cats and dogs doing the darned things
  8. 5 hours later and you are now laughing at the peanut butter baby remix
  9. Okay now you have to actually get some work done, but how when you are actually hungry. Back to looking up easy meals in less than 5 minutes
  10. You failed at that again
  11. You then proceed to fetch the mail and notice you have a billing statement for your Netflix account
  12. You then remember “Did I ever finish season three of House of Cards”?
  13. No. No you did not
  14. Now you go to your Netflix account and spend another 5 hours watching the rest of season three of House of Cards
  15. Crap your deadline is in two hours
  16. Time to get writing
  17. But first let me check my email because that’s pretty important
  18. Amazon has sent you an email regarding a “sale”
  19. Time to go on Amazon for another hour and a half
  20. Okay seriously your deadline is in less than an hour
  21. Time to write
  22. I’m thirsty time to get a beverage to quench my thirst
  23. Damn the Brita is out of water, probably should’ve refilled it 5 hours ago when I was watching House of Cards
  24. Time to wait and let it refill
  25. The water is way too warm
  26. Time to wait for it to chill for a bit
  27. S**t! 10 minutes until my deadline!
  28. Logs on to Admin and starts to write article. Realizes that it’s daylight savings time and I still haven’t set my clocks backwards because you know life.
  29. I still have an hour to procrastinate
  30. Time to repeat step 1

Thanks for reading! Cheers

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
