Don't Hate On Those Who Procrastinate

Procrastinating, when done correctly, is actually fairly close to a super power.

Being a procrastinator is an art that only a select amount of people understand. If you’re the person to always say, “I’ve got time; I’ll do it later.” when you really do not have time: I’m here for you.

To be quite honest, sometimes that pressure is needed to just force the brain fuel out of you! I know I shouldn’t type my essays the night before their due, or try to cram a quarter’s worth of notes in my brain 30 minutes before an exam, but I just cannot stop myself.

As a procrastinator, you always want to be proactive and get your work done, yet every time it doesn’t happen.

It's almost as if the ability to waste time has been ingrained in my DNA, just like my hair or eye color.

Also, it’s just so easy to waste my time on other things. New episodes of my favorite show on Netflix? Events to attend with my friends? The possibilities are endless, and they definitely sound more tempting than the 8-page paper on my to-do list. Also, if you are a serial procrastinator, I commend your abilities to literally find any and every excuse you can to avoid your actual workload.

Honestly, it is a talent that should be appreciated and recognized. Also, congrats on constantly bamboozling your teachers who claim your work cannot be finished the night before! You’ve done it time and time again, and I know you’ll lie and say you finally won’t do it this time, but we both know it’s a lie.

Just accept it — you’re a procrastinator, and it is totally okay if you’re still getting all your work done!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
