There are so many things I should be doing

Procrastination. It’s a problem.

I’ve been “working” on this article for almost three hours now with little to show for it. I find any conversation around me to join in to, find a new youtube video to watch, or get lost trying to find an article to give me inspiration. I even turned it in a little late because I couldn't think of anything. I'm sure that there are a ton of people who suffer from the same problem. Hopefully, this article sheds some light into the life of a procrastinator. Or, it might not because you're all gonna save this article for later and never read it...

I’ve struggled with procrastination all my life. I wait until the last possible moment to do anything, including regular everyday things like showering, or brushing my hair. I walk out the door right on time, every time.

I’m starting my senior year of college, and this is the time where I need to work on my adulting skills. I need to send in grad school applications, take the GRE, get interviews set up, and all that fun stuff. But I just can’t bring myself to do it.

What makes someone a procrastinator? It’s gotta be something psychological. I always do my best work under pressure. I’ll never know why, but every time I have to write a paper for a class I always do it the night before it’s due. Let me tell you, I got at least an A or B on each paper. I don’t know how, but I did. I’m not proud of it by any means, but you do what you gotta do!

Now, I’ve always tried to come up with ways to combat Procrastination. All the ways proved futile and the problem still has yet to be solved. For someone who is super involved like me, the problem needs to be solved. The one thing I always have to work on is time management. For any job interview that is always what I say.

Maybe someday I’ll fix the problem or someone will come up with a way to fix it for me (that would be ideal). Until then I have some Netflix to watch and things to avoid.

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.
