Procrastinating in style

How To Put Off Work On The Last Week Of School

Finals week is one of the most emotionally draining periods of our college careers. If you’re like me, then you’re doing everything in your power not to think about it. You're trying to avoid work at all cost, but there comes a point when you run out of ideas. You don’t want to write that paper, but you’re tired of watching "Gossip Girl" re-runs on Netflix (lol jk you never get tired of "Gossip Girl"). Here are some more creative forms of procrastination that are sure to add some spice to your life.

1. Mow the lawn

Is the grass on your quad unbearably tall? Does in poke your legs when you sit on it? Do everyone else a favor and trim that baby down. It sounds really fun and it’ll keep your mind off of less important things.

2. Duct tape your local trashcan

Add a pop of color to your campus by wrapping one of the trash bins in bright neon colors. Not only will this fill your glum peers with momentary joy, but it’ll help kill some time.

3. Give yourself a hair cut

Need a new look? Why not be your own hairdresser for a day? With YouTube anything is possible!

4. Climb a tree

The less experience you have with tree climbing, the more exciting it’ll be. It’ll give you a whole new perspective on life.

5. Make a costume and wear it around campus

Make it really elaborate so that everyone around you is confused. You’ll get a great kicker out of it and gain cool points.

6. Paint a rock

You can use actual paint, or nail polish. This is a great way to display your artistic ability/inability. Also, you can give it a name and make it your friend. New friends are always a plus!

7. Dig a hole

You don’t know what you’ll find until you start digging. Maybe you’ll find gold and pay your way through college. Or, you might discover a secret entrance to the Batcave!

8. Host a water fight

It’s getting warmer out, so why not cool down with a hose and some water guns? Make a secret group on Facebook and invite even your most distant friends. The more the merrier.

9. Learn Latin

I am sure that there's an app for this. You've got time, figure it out!

10. Choreograph a dance routine for toddlers

You can find said toddlers at your local elementary school or ice cream store (Don't steal kids!). Teach them how to tango, teach them how to dab, teach them how to do both!

11. Make a pizza

I've saved the best for last. The question isn't "why make a pizza," but rather "Why the hell not?" Putting off your work is a tough job, so make sure you stay well fed and energized.

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.
