I must confess, I drafted this beauty a few moons ago, on one particularly unproductive day. This was back in the day when I actually had more time to procrastinate. Not to say that the urge to procrastinate actually goes away when you have less time to do things (actually, that's when procrastination seems to hit you the hardest…)

Nevertheless, as if you actually needed any additional methods of extending your break just 15 minutes longer, other than watching Netflix, here's a few less-common alternatives that I have enjoyed in the past.

There are many articles out there on how to get your life together. This is not one of them. Put off that paper about 5 more minutes and enjoy.

1. Do the dishes.

The dishes will just pile up for days unless I actually have something better I should be doing for school.

2. Perfect your planner to a T.

Time to use 50 colors to write all the things I'm not going to do today.

3. Make yourself as clean as physically possible.

This seems like a good time for a full manicure and pedicure, right?

4. Rearrange the furniture.

It will be so much easier to focus on my work once this sofa is on the other side of the room.

5. Clean the screens of all your devices.

One cannot possibly concentrate if there are fingerprints on the screen.

6. Sleep.

I'm obviously behind in my sleep, just a short 15 - 75-minute power nap will do the trick.

7. Attempt to do your homework under a blanket but really just sleep some more.

There is really no reason to freeze to death while doing your homework.

8. Look up nutrition facts.

No one really enjoys finding out how many calories are in your favorite milkshake… unless you have four study guides to do. Then, this seems like the better option.

9. Research jobs you're not yet qualified for.

It's just preparing for my future (and ignoring the present…) If I have a tab for my homework open, that still counts, right?

10. Write an article about procrastination.

Everybody needs a little "me" time, right after their previous "me" time.

11. Sit and wonder where the day went.

I don't understand, I only had one class today. Where did I go wrong? Oh…

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
