When you get too lazy for life.

Lazy | adjective la·zy \ˈlā-zē\ : not liking to work hard or to be active : not having much activity : causing people to feel that they do not want to be active : moving slowly (Merriam-Webster)

Lazy | adjective la·zy \ˈlā-zē\ : when Mojade spends hours watching Netflix because she burned out in college, but she knows there is so much she should do and won't (Mojade's Dictionary)


I have done it guys. I have finished Parks and Recreation at a ridiculously quick pace, I have caught up on a ton of TV shows in the past few weeks, and I have laid in bed and looked at the things that still need to be unpacked from college. I have gone to the gym once; I have not really seen anybody that does not live in my house, or even really conquered the important stuff that need to be planned for my summer plans. However, I still feel drained and like I still need to rest.


I have come to realize that laziness does the complete opposite of making you feel ready to conquer the world. Instead, all you want to do is lay around and continue to watch whatever show that you were binging just moments ago. Honestly, I am kind of tired of being tired. I have tried doing yoga to wake me up, and I have also tried cleaning and being productive. In fact, I was doing the whole waking early and being productive thing, and that failed very quickly.

All that I have actually accomplished is memorizing the beginning of every show that I have been zooming through. I have also found some very interesting snacks to eat that don't take a lot of time. And we cannot forget all of the tears that have fallen over countless videos and shows. However, my favorite would be lying in bed staring at the ceiling hoping that I would suddenly feel motivated to do more with my life than waste it while laying in bed.


So, the goal now is to actually do something with my life. Instead of struggling to type/do things while watching Netflix (like what I am doing now) I should focus on doing things completely focused on that task. I should also have a goal on the things that I want to conquer within the day. I suppose college took a lot more out of me than I thought.

Honestly I have no words of wisdom. Nor do I have any advice. Instead I am asking, no begging, that if any of you share some ideas that you have for not wasting away watching television. How do I find that spark to go out and actually do something with my life? Surely there is something I can do that doesn't include spending a drastic amount of money or using up so much of my gas.

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.
