It is safe to say that everyone has procrastinated in their life at least once. Even sloths can relate to the terrible stages of procrastination!

Stage 1: Comfort

When you first receive the assignment and see that the due date is in three weeks, you tell yourself it isn't even slightly important to worry about right now. I mean, three weeks is a long time, right?

Stage 2: Distractions

It's been two weeks, but you still have a week left. You decide the best course of action is to binge-watch Netflix while stuffing your face.


Stage 3: Denial

There are three days left, and all your friends are telling you to start your assignment before it's too late. Yet you still believe you have more than enough time and that they are being irrational.


Stage 4: More Denial

You have 48 hours left. You open up your laptop to start writing but before you even get your name written, you convince yourself that it is the perfect time for a nap.

Stage 5: Determination

You have 24 hours left to do this assignment. You realize you have no choice but to drag yourself out of bed and give it your best shot.


Stage 6: Panic

You have 12 hours left. You realize that you are in way over your head and that leaving this for the very last second was a terrible mistake.

Stage 7: Acceptance

You accept that you will have to stay up all night to finish this, and you do everything in your power to stay awake.


Stage 8: The Grand Finale

It's time for class, and you are happy to show off your espresso-driven, sleep deprived creation.

Stage 9: The Celebration

After such a stress-filled week, it is time for you to go out with your friends and celebrate your accomplishments!


Stage 10: The Unrealistic Promise

Monday comes, you get another assignment, and even though you promised yourself you would never procrastinate again, you do and the cycle begins again.

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:

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.
