You can still change.

Procrastinator Extraordinaire No More

Have you heard of the saying: "due tomorrow, do tomorrow?"

We're just finishing the fifth week of college and some of us are in trouble. Why do some of us do this to ourselves? Why are some of our time management skills so horrendous?

I'm the last person to be preaching about this. Right at this moment, I am procrastinating this article, however, the few moments of my life that I am productive have been after I used these tips.

I really love AsapSCIENCE.

First of all, learn why we procrastinate to get an understanding of what's going on. I'm constantly asking myself why I'm planning on screwing over my future self...

Now, let's start with procrastination. Why do we do this to ourselves when we know the outcome won't be pretty? What behaviors can we change to be more productive?

"Procrastination is a symptom not a cause."


In a fast paced society, we're raised to constantly move and constantly be productive. AsapSCIENCE explains the science behind productivity, showing us how we can be efficient without spending so much time.


During my 19 years of living on this planet, I've been told a lot of baloney when it comes to study tips, but these actually come in handy. The best thing I like about Asap is that it links further readings in the video description for people who want to do their own research as well.

Listen to their wise words and JUST DO IT.

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.
