To be honest everyone procrastinates at some point in life. Whether it be getting out of bed for work or school, doing homework , studying for a test or cleaning the house. It's not only students procrastinating. What do you do when you're procrastinating?

1. Scroll through Facebook and/or Instagram

Everyone tends to pick up their phone and jump on some social network site to see whats going on. Usually its nothing important, but we all got to check it out. Once you get on social media, you see some type of drama going on and you just have to know what has been going on; who got married, whose pregnant, who got drunk last night and made a fool of themselves.

2. Scroll through Pinterest looking for pins

Let's face it, we all love looking through pinterest looking for recipes or any other pins that interest us whether it be looking at baby shower ideas, wedding ideas, recipes to cook at home, etc.

3. Watch your favorite show on Netflix, Hulu or TV

While it may give you a break from life, its difficult to stop watching the TV because you always want to know whats going to happen next. We tend to binge watch a show until we either watch the entire series or season or until we get to a point where were not wondering whats going to happen next.

4. Take a nap

Everyone loves taking a nap. Especially after a long day of working or staying up all night studying for a test. We think were going to take a 30 minute nap that turns into sleeping for the rest of the evening and not getting anything else done.

5. Go shopping

Every female loves to go shopping. Even if its window shopping. Its a great way to get out of the house if you're trying to procrastinate. Even though procrastinating isn't always a good thing. We go to the store to take a break, then you run into friends and next thing you know you're doing other things with them knowing you have a report due or a test the next day.

6. Doing what you love to do (Hobby)

Whether it be knitting, hiking, shooting guns, cooking, we all have something we love to do. Whether it be outdoors or inside.

7. Play video games

Like television, this is probably more of a guys thing. While video games may get your mind off school work and give you a chance to relax, it gets hard to put it down. You keep getting to points where you wanna see what you can do next, or meet that next checkpoint and before you know it its late and you're stuck deciding whether you want to go to bed or stay up and finish that assignment.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
