The True Life of a Procrastinator
reddit.com/r/TheRedPill

Either you are a procrastinator or you know one. Everyone knows one. They wait until the last possible time to complete an assignment or task. You get used to it after a while. The calm before the storm. The understanding that the assignment is not going to get started until the night before.

You always overestimate how much time you have to complete an assignment because you don't think it's that big of a deal.

You do pointless things just so you don't have to do that one really important thing.

You feel that you do your best work under pressure. Sometimes you question if this is really true until the next time that you procrastinate and write one of the best papers of your life.

You hate yourself by the deadline but you know that you won't change your ways. Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator.

You tell yourself that twenty years down the road you'll be happier that you did that really cool thing instead of working on that paper forever.

You have an emergency coffee stash just for those all-nighters. Because when the time comes you know that coffee is going to be the first thing you need.

At least one breakdown is expected. Its an impending feeling, you don't know when or where it is going to happen but some time in your all-nighter you will realize how stupid this decision was and how stressed you are. It happens every. single. time.

Procrastinators are a unique breed. They may not seem the most reliable people because they wait until the last minute but no matter how long they wait or put the task off, it always gets done.

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.
