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.

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.
