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.

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.
