The 10 Truthful Qualities Of Every College Procrastinator

If you lookup the word procrastinator in the Google search bar on your computer, Vocabulary.com will tell you that it means: a person who delays or puts things off — like work, chores, or other actions — that should be done in a timely manner. So ask yourself, are you a procrastinator? If you are, then we are very similar and you know the biggest struggles of putting things off or taking your sweet time to get something done.

1. Paper due at midnight? No worries 11:55 pm is the best time to turn it in.


This may sound like a bit of an exaggeration, but sometimes us as procrastinators actually do this! Our brain needs time to decide what we want to do with out clustered thoughts.

2. You sleep in as long as you can.

The snooze button is one of our best friends.

3. Making up a reason of why we are procrastinating is part of being a procrastinator.

We claim other things to be more important or we were busy with something else insetad.

4. Concentration does not come easy.

No we do not have ADD, we just get distracted easily.

5. Listening to music while doing work, or having it be silent is a tough decision.

Changing the song, or singing along gets distracting an can be a set back for sure.

6. Just because we are told about something far in advance does not mean we will start on that task earlier.

Remember we are extremely "busy."

7. We are the type of people who do not need help, so do not bother offering us your insight on how we can manage our time better.

8. Its not that we are bad at time management. I mean after all we do get our stuff done on time, it just takes us a while.


9. Laundry will not be done until need be. This means we will wash it when we are down to our last pair of socks or underwear.


10. Most people say, "I will get to that later," for us procrastinators out there in the world, this phrase is way over used.

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.
