Signs Of A Pseudo-Procrastinator

No matter how old you are, or how old you get, it always seems like there is an unfinished pile of work waiting for you. This may seem like a bold statement to declare, but I'm speaking from experience. It terrifies me that I am only 19 and I feel like that pile is full of things I will never get to.

There comes a point where I feel that a to-do list in the back of my head gets so long that I cannot deal with it. As a result, I procrastinate or what my friends call "pseudo-procrastinate." Signs of a pseudo-procrastinator are as follows:

You find yourself....

1. Thinking about all of your responsibilities.

2. Pondering the impending doom you will experience during the exam you're pretending you don't have.

3. Scrolling through Twitter, retweeting things about hating school and loathing studying.

4. Taking a nap filled with nightmares of being swallowed up by the vortex of work you have.

5. Talking about everything you have yet to do with friends.

6. Listening to your mood booster Spotify playlist with the intention of getting things done, but end up getting caught up in a jam session.

7. Working out because running a mile is less painful than that lab report you have due tomorrow.

8. Crying when you realize that the past seven ways have distracted you from all your work that is due tomorrow.

9. Finishing everything you procrastinated because that's who you are.

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.
