Are You A Lazy Perfectionist?
ifunny.co

There are lazy people, there are perfectionists, then there are the lazy perfectionists. There are many in the world. We are the people who want everything to be flawless, but sometimes we don't have the drive. We want to take a nap, but we know there are things to do. We'll spend hours on something, then sit and watch Netflix for another few hours. We are pretty impeccable, if I do say so myself. Are you a "lazy perfectionist?" If you've done or said these, you probably are!

1. It's 2:00 am and this paper isn't as finished as you want it to be but, dear God, your bed is calling out to you

This is the worst. The perfectionist side of you says that sleep doesn't matter, but the lazy part of you is reminding you that you're not your best without a good night's rest. What do you choose? Usually, it's a lot easier to go to sleep than finish that paper!

2. You just finished a project I've been working on for six hours... now it's time to watch Netflix until the day you die

Things like Netflix and naps are great rewards for when you finish projects you should already be working on! Use it to your advantage.

3. "Should I nap or cross off another item from my to-do list?"

Nap. Always nap.

4. You're really good at cramming for exams

You need to do well on that exam, but you also needed to finish that season of Orange is the New Black.

5. When you go to bed you have every intention to wake up early to look presentable, but when the time comes you just keep hitting snooze

You're surprised your snooze button still works, right? Me too.

6. You love making to-do lists, but a lot of the time you never finish them

Unless it looks like the to-do list above, a lot of the time you spend so much time on one bullet you never finish the rest of it.

7. You have high expectations and no motivation to reach them

You want everything to be done at a perfect level, but how can you do that when you're tempted to try a new video game?

8. You want to be that person who goes to the gym three days a week with no problems... but you just can't do it

Why go to the gym when you can sleep in, nap, or go to bed early?

9. You either do things at the Olympic level or not at all

This speaks for itself.

10. It's a constant battle

The battle between perfectionism and laziness is a never ending one. Good luck, young one, for it will be hard. It will be trying, but once you find your balance you'll realize how amazing it is being a lazy perfectionist.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
