Things I'd Rather Do Instead Of Homework

We're at that point in the semester where we have a ton of homework but no motivation to do it. So here's to all you procrastinators, let me know if this list is accurate.

Clean my room

They say that a clean working environment makes you more productive, so I should clean my room before I do my homework right? Yes, but it only works if you actually clean your room instead of starting and getting distracted by all the cool things you forgot you lost.

Check social media

And by social media, I mean all of it. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, and whatever else you have. It helps you stay involved while wasting a solid hour of time that you should have spent doing homework but didn't.

Learn to cook

Attempting to do homework tends to make people hungry and it might be useful to know how to make something other than coffee and Ramen. And no, microwavable macaroni does not count.

Go outside

The weather has been amazing lately. Fall is in full swing (except in Florida) so why not go outside and enjoy it before the bitter cold keeps you indoors. Besides, fresh air is good for you.

Run errands

I have to do them anyway so might as well do it right now. And for the next few hours since I really don't want to write this paper/work on this project/whatever is it you're procrastinating on.

Watch Netflix

Or Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Whatever streaming service you have, chances are it's much better than actually completing the assignment that's due in the next few days. Especially if you're in the middle of binge watching.

Read Odyssey articles

Let's be real, they've grown on you a little. And there's one for every occasion, including procrastination. If you play your cards right, you might even be able to consider this "research," though I use that term very loosely.

Now that I'm done procrastinating on my own homework, it's time for you to do yours. Or click to the next article. Whatever floats your boat.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
