Stop! You're Working Too Hard!

Here's A Break, Just For You!

Stop! You're Working Too Hard!

Let's face it, we all have those weeks we spend countless hours of what should be dedicated to work/homework/keeping living spaces sanitary to the Emperor of Nothingness- also known as the Great Procrastinator, Overlord of the Unmotivated and In Denial. While we do our best to run the good race, there are some times even the best of us can't quite find the ingredients to the motivation recipe by great-grandma Git-Er-Done. Most of the time, those urges of nope have to be circumnavigated and perseverance through discipline must be endeavored.

But those days when procrastination can be indulged, I am often first in line to savor the couch-potato lifestyle. So for those who are feeling down, having a rough day, or just need a mental brain-break from the snowball of the week, this one's for you. Remember, it's important to take a break if you're doing a lot! It's definitely easy to get swept up in work, especially if you have a lot to do. I decided to help you out if you need some more clues! Here are a few gifs to help us laugh about the importance of (occasional and moderated) procrastination.


1. Welcome to...


2. What happens when you haven't procrastinated in a long time

3. If you haven't had a long enough break and someone tries to tell you to get back to work

I'm a Whovian, of course I have to put a Doctor up here.


4. Try all week, Mabel


5. Sometimes going to a park to procrastinate is healthy too

Y'know, that thing called fresh air you never get!


6. Because, let's face it, sometimes you have so much work you just get -

But no using firearms to interior decorate, please. Sherlock is a sociopath and doesn't understand these principles. The author of this article understands you probably do.


7. "I will do my homework..."


8. But let's face it, you don't want to put yourself in this position


9. Let's face it, you know the pain is coming

Although Bane will reassure you...?


10. You'll probably try reasoning with your grade on your next test



11. But in the end, you'll eventually get overwhelmed and need another rest


Whether you're stressed, overwhelmed, or just need a break from the norm, don't forget to grant yourself a break! I'd recommend a walk, a good cup of tea, or a funny face competition with a good friend other than another internet page, but do what you've got to do!

Cheers!

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.

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.
