Things You Tell Yourself To Avoid Getting Out Of Bed

The daily struggle of trying to find motivation in the morning is my fatal flaw. My bed is more inviting than any activity I could possibly want to do. Given the opportunity, I will sleep until 3:00 p.m. (it's a proven fact!) Apparently that's frowned upon by society, though. Therefore, I find myself telling myself the same things every day before dragging myself out of bed.

1. "5 more minutes, really!"

Or maybe 10... OK, 15... how about 30?

2. "Well, maybe I'll just skip my 9:00 a.m."

I'm sure I can catch up on one lesson of microeconomics, right?

3. "A queen is never late. They'll wait for me"

Fashionably late is the best way to go.

4. "I'm not really that hungry, I don't need to get breakfast."

A granola bar will probably hold me over for the next four hours.

5. "I think I'm sick"

If I think about it hard enough, my throat hurts and it would just be immoral to get my classmates sick.

6. "This is cruel and unusual punishment and I am not having it"

What did I ever do to deserve the horrifying screech of an alarm clock?

7. "I'll get up as soon as I'm done looking through Instagram..."

...And Twitter and Facebook and Snapchat and Vine and Yik Yak and the weather and maybe the App Store?

8. "The professor doesn't even take attendance, why am I going?"

Everything I need to know, I can learn from the textbook.

9. "If I don't go to my first class, I'll be so much more well rested for my second class."

My second class requires more attention and I would be more prepared for it.

10. "It's so cold! I should huddle under the covers for warmth."

No amount of clothing will keep me as warm as my blankets are right now.

11. "I can't leave! The sheets have just started to accept me as one of their own!"

And if I leave, I'll never gain their trust.

12. "When is Spring Break?"

Oh it was last week? Darn.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
