Laziness In Today's Society

Why we become unmotivated at this time of the year...

Laziness and motivation seem to go hand in hand even though they mean two different things. During this time of the year, many people seem to become unmotivated or lazy in their day to day routine, especially in school. This is your reminder to not give up! You only have a little bit more to go, maybe a month or less.

Procrastination also ties into laziness and adds to the feeling of being unmotivated. There have been many studies which show the weather affects productivity. Spring makes people want to go outside and enjoy the earth, but it distracts us from priorities. Many people are just looking forward to summer and relaxing in the warm weather. Who really can blame them?

Not only is laziness evident in work ethic, but also relationships. Many people expect things to come right to them. It has become socially acceptable to have relationships merely over the phone instead of actually seeing the person, which defeats the purpose of being with them in the first place. Another way people are lazy in relationships is through lack of clear communication. This is unhealthy for both parties involved, but has been ingrained into our society through socialization.

With terms ending and summer around the corner, remember to keep on chugging in your day to day life and relationships. I hope this article found you well and you strive for success. Don't conform to today’s laziness!

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.
