Procrastination As Told By The Grinch

Ahhh... sweet procrastination... I mean who doesn't like to put off their work for hours, days, and maybe even weeks? Procrastination is a cycle because no matter how many times you realize how stupid you were for doing it you do it over and over again.

It all starts when your sitting in class and your professor is explaining the homework, a paper, or a project and you sit there and think to yourself "Don't worry I have time"

You get home and look over your assignments and realize how much you absolutely hate school and your professors for assigning so much stuff.

You may even think about starting to do your assignments when all of a sudden a friend calls, and wants you to go out with them tonight, so you have to make a decision... Which is more important, school or friends?


Welp, there goes one day you could have done your assignment, so the next morning you get up with all the intent in the world to do your assignment, but then you completely forget about it when you decide that you need something to eat even though you're really not that hungry

While eating, you start to schedule out your day to find the time to do your assignment. But, as you look you find you will be very busy with important things you need to attend to that day. Your schedule looks a little like this



Then you have realized you simply have no room for your assignment that day, so you have to put it off for yet another day. This is what you end up doing all day rather than your assignment, or any of the stuff that was in your planner.

And laughing at yourself while doing it


So you end up going a little stir crazy, but still keeping yourself too busy to do your assignments.

You end up trying to keep your mind occupied in any way possible rather than doing the work that needs to be done

But then, the day that the assignment is due you finally realize, "Oh sh*t I completely forgot about this assignment, and kept putting it off I need to get it done"

You also realize that your grade is going to be determined by this assignment so now you need to start to care about it

You are not too happy with yourself that you put it off for so long, so you throw a little bit of a temper tantrum mixed with a panic attack because you think you won't get it done in time

After your mini freak out episode, you need to begin your assignment, so you go into overdrive mode

But, you had to rush through it because it needed to be submitted in 2 hours, so you know it wasn't your best work

After you hand in your assignment you want to completely forget about the feelings you went through due to procrastinating. You need to erase those memories in any way possible, and so you repeat the cycle of procrastination every assignment after that.

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.
