11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write This Paper

I don't care if I had a month to do it, it still won't be done until the day it's due.

11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write This Paper
nocookie.net

It's the middle of the semester and midterm exams and papers are upon us. Honestly there's a million and four things I'd rather be doing than writing two midterm papers, studying for exams, the ridiculous amount of homework and all of the assigned reading. So, since I consider myself the queen of procrastination, here are my personal top 11 things I'd rather be doing than writing that paper.

1. Watch Halloween movies

At the rate I'm going, maybe I'll watch Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family in January.

2. Drink a lot of wine

It's hard to write that paper if I can't even speak straight, let alone spell correctly.

3. Catch up on some AHS

I could dangerously binge-watch this series morning 'til night and then nothing would ever get done, especially the damn paper.

4. Clean my room

Not exciting, but after that 6:30 am class, my bedroom becomes something equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle.

5. Bake anything sweet

I'll need a variety of homemade sweets to munch on while I'm watching American Horror Story.

6. Take a nap

Every serious college student has experienced sleep deprivation at least once during a semester.

7. Pet my dog

I miss my dog more than any human while I'm at school, but now I have to write this paper and I all want to do is pet my dog...for hours.

8. Clean up my Spotify playlists

Drake's new album is dropping soon, and I still don't have my favorites from Views in an organized playlist. If I'm lucky I'll have both of my favorite songs from both albums in a playlist when the following album drops.

9. Shop Online

Of course I attempt to write this stupid paper, but then I'm distracted, another tab magically opens on my browser and there I am skimming through the Apple website checking out the newest iPhone.

10. Bring back the 90's songs

Shout out to YouTube for the continuous play after each video. Because of that my life becomes devoted to 90's throwbacks for the next two hours.

11. Become Tipsy Bartender from Facebook

We all know the videos from Facebook and it's been about a year since my mom and I said we wanted to try making them. What paper? Cotton Candy cocktails for everyone who's in my household right now!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
