Sometimes in college, especially at this point of the semester, we try to find ways to get out of assignments or keep pushing the time back when we say we want to start something. I've compiled a wonderful list on how to tell if you're procrastinating.

1. You keep hitting the snooze button.

2. You take three showers in one day.


3. You just keep watching Netflix ("Next episode will begin in 5...4...3...2...1...")


4. You start a paper the night before it's due.


5. You find yourself daydreaming while reading a required text for one of your classes.


6. You tell people that you're going to start studying...and then don't.


7. You keep yourself occupied by doing something that isn't what you should be doing.


8. You've probably started watching a new show on Netflix that you never thought you would watch and then BAM it's suddenly the best show ever.


9. You suddenly decide to pick up a new hobby.


10. You nap more than once a day.


11. You're looking for easy shortcuts while doing your work.

12. You plan out your entire dream home on Pinterest.


13. You update that one album on Facebook that just needs to be updated.


14. You start taking more personality tests.


15. You're reading an article about how to tell if you're procrastination (or writing one about it).

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.
