10 things I do to procrastinate

Definition Of Procrastination: I'll Tell You Later
EveryPixel

We're all guilty of procrastinating on some level. Some of us are better at it than others, and by better, I don't mean at overcoming procrastination, but at procrastinating. It takes a lot to do nothing. It also takes a lot to think back four hours earlier and try to remember why exactly you opened up your browser. A school assignment? Maybe. Pay your car insurance? Possibly, but you'll have to check your bank account first, and who really wants to do that? Oh, but wait. What if Netflix didn't get paid? Dear god, NOOOOO.

*Checks Netflix account instead of bank account to make sure it's still working, and then four hours later realizes it's been four hours later*

Shit, what was I supposed to be doing? Probably schoolwork. Let's just get this over with. Start up the laptop, open the browser AND DON'T GET DISTRA-

1. Instead of schoolwork


2. Instead of work-work

work

I must admit that every single one of these is actually pretty important to my ongoing function to finish out the workday. Puppies stuck in things, y'all. PUPPIES STUCK IN THINGS. I know I opened up my phone to look at the email sent to my school account, but then I noticed I had a notification on my Facebook app, and I HATE seeing those little notifications, so of course I had to open my Facebook app, and then someone had shared the video of puppies getting stuck in things. You do not have a soul if you have the will to not watch that. You are dead inside. DEAD. And also, Abbi and Ilana are equally cool and hella dope, but I just had to know which one I was. And guess what? I AM AN ILANA. Do you not feel as relieved about knowing this than I do?

3. Instead of writing my next article

4. Instead of life

5. Instead of this list

6. Instead of whatever

7. Instead

8. But this, y'all. THIS is the definition of procrastination. I told you I'd tell you later, didn't I? Here it is. This is also me filling in space because I need to reach five hundred words before I can turn this article in. Five hundred words do not seem like a lot but who am I kidding, of course, it is a lot of words.

9. I'm almost there. I said 10 memes, right? Why did I choose 10? Jeezis. Hang on, I found a good one when my Pinterest notification popped up in the bottom right-hand corner of my laptop.

10. This, too. OMG. This is golden. GOLDEN, y'all.

So, the moral of the story that I wasn't even telling is that while procrastination is funny while you are procrastinating it is actually a very real, intense, life-altering fear when procrastination has stopped being funny and become very, hella real and I'm going to stop typing now because I've reached my five hundred word quota.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
