If you're reading this, there's a 99% chance you're bored in class and would rather read an Odyssey article than pay attention. Let's be real - who isn't a procrastinator in this day and age? In order to help you feel just a tad better for, once again, leaving all your work until the very last minute, here are 5 ways you can procrastinate but still feel productive.

1. Fixing your resume

That resume format from high school probably needed an intense makeover anyways. Not only can you brush up on your accomplishments (or the lack thereof), you can re-motivate yourself by adding skills to your resume that you honestly don't have yet, but plan on picking up before your next big interview.

2. Searching and applying for an internship

At the end of the day, jobs > grades. C's get degrees, but a bad resume and a lack of internship applications won't be getting you any jobs. If that application deadline is tomorrow and it fits the criteria you've been searching for, then put aside your homework and apply. You just might end up at that company for a summer internship!

3. Prepping your meals

Your stomach and your wallet will thank you for the rest of the week, so don't feel bad for spending a few hours cooking instead of doing your work. You'll feel like a responsible adult afterwards, basically cancelling out that guilt from procrastinating.

4. Calling your family

Of course, calling your family should not come to your mind only when you need to procrastinate on homework, but it's a great way for you to make sure you stay in touch with them. The higher the frequency of procrastination, the closer you will become to your parents and siblings. What a wholesome situation.

5. Watching @buttdog's vlogs on YouTube

It's always a good idea to watch Brian's vlogs no matter the occasion! From volleyball clips to Habanero pepper eating sessions, there's always something great about his vlogs!

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.
