I currently have one foot through the door of the beautiful Spring 2018 semester. Although the single-digit temperatures tempt me EVERY morning just to stay in bed, the little voice in my head whispering "get a 4.0" usually wins over. So, with a will-powered mindset, welcome to the procrastinator's guide to procrastination!


Pro Tip 1: Nap guide

ALWAYS make sure you start your work before you take a nap. Falling asleep with a book in your bed usually helps make yourself feel like you at least attempted to do something productive.

Pro Tip 2: Set alarms

If you are planning on napping or relaxing for a bit of time, make sure you set some alarms. These will sound and tell you when it is time to get down to business. Sometimes you just silence them and continue napping, but at least you set them in the first place, right?

Pro Tip 3: The final key

Self-encouragement! Reward yourself for reading a chapter with, like, 5,000 calories of snacks, a long food-coma nap and maybe some Netflix as well. It is ALL about self-motivation!

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
