Things To Do Instead Of Homework

How to procrastinate.

Things To Do Instead Of Homework

We all procrastinate. Some of us more than others. There are some days when the thought of doing any work makes you want to never leave your bed. Instead of giving up, find something better to do with your time. Everyone who procrastinates knows how easy it is to become suddenly passionate about a brand new hobby. Maybe your hobbies are getting a little draining, and you need some new excuses to continue to put off that work. If you want to mix up your procrastination game, here are a few tips:

1. Clean the whole house.

If you get really good you start finding things that have never seen a cleaning product, like the tops of all the doors.

2. Try adult coloring books.

The best way to drag this out; line all the markers up in rainbow order first.

3. Watch an entire marathon of "Law and Order: SVU."

Because you'll never leave Olivia, even if Stabler did.

4. Sing-a-long with yourself.

Showers have the best acoustics but you might need to try out all the rooms in your house just to be sure.

5. Re-watch your favorite show on Netflix.

Old shows need love too.

6. Go to the gym.

I didn't say workout, just go there. Maybe sit in the hot-tub with a protein shake.

7. Bake a cake.

Or bake/cook anything new. The harder the recipe, the longer it takes, the less you have to think about that pile of work.

8. Facebook stalk someone you have never met.

You may have never met them in real life, but you know their astrological sign and why there last break-up was so bad.

9. Teach yourself something new (like the location of all the countries in the world).

Take a pottery class, learn a language online, or take Sporcle quizzes until you ace them.

10. Find your inner self with Buzzfeed quizzes.

Can they guess your favorite color? Which Kardashian are you? Are you more "Formation" or "Work"? What type of dessert are you? These are all important questions.

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.
