Life can get busy, I get that. I am a college student just like many of you are, and I know the daily struggle of trying to balance everything out- the gym, school work (essays, test, quizzes, lectures, discussion, study groups, etc), extracurriculars, clubs, hanging out with your friends, a job, trying to get 8 hours of sleep at night, and having fun. It even takes a while to get a good balance of everything or even a good schedule to manage everything. But what will help with all of that is not procrastinating no matter how nice it sounds to watch that second episode of your Netflix show. Academics and daily life errands are important to fit into your life at a good time. So just get it done with, and most importantly, do not procrastinate!

1. You end up being more stressed

Giphy

There is no doubt that you get incredibly stressed out when you end up procrastinating your homework assignments and studying for exams and that is because you literally can not take a break and relax. Cramming and doing everything at once, it actually terrible for your body and mind, and hurts you in the long run.

2. Your grades suffer

Which connects to why your grades end up suffering since you are stressed and trying to do everything at once, you often are not letting yourself do the best you can do, and when you cram, you are really not learning anything; therefore, grades and GPA suffer drastically.

3. You get less sleep

When you end up staying up too late and end up even doing all-nighters, you end up messing up your sleep schedule more than you know and that hurts you, you are not only physically drained but emotionally and mentally drained. GET SLEEP.

4. Mental breakdowns

In reality, when it comes down to it, being overly stressed, not doing as well in your classes, and getting less sleep = many mental breakdowns and we all know how not fun that is. So just do your best, give it all you got, and take care of yourself by not procrastinating to do everything!!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.
