First, there's Sylly week, then an introduction week, then the third week of the semester comes along with no warning and you're drowning in work trying to remember how one studies. Since you did nothing semi-productive over break, and your brain can't/won't attempt to study, you can only procrastinate.

Your only prior memory of academic work is finals week... and we all know how much procrastination took place that week. So, inevitably you revert back to old and useless behaviors and then convince yourself that "Eh, it's only the first test I have time."

There is no one better to present this third-week procrastination than the brilliant and hilarious cast of "The Office."

Looking at all the chapters you have to read and remember in less than 24-hours

Could've planned this one a little better. There's always next time!

When your friend asks you if you want to go out

Knowing full well you have no right to or time...or money.

After 2 hours binge-watching "Friends" reruns...

One more episode won't hurt? Not like I've seen the series 5 times through.

Going to the gym for the sole purpose of avoiding any work

And lasting 20 minutes cause you haven't been in three weeks...

Overthinking all your life decisions thus far just because you have time to do so

This has the potential to waste a good amount of time. Warning: may result in horribly embarrassing middle school flashbacks that still invoke intense emotions.

Congratulating your self for your solid effort in 20 minutes of studying

That oughta do it right?

Looking at your notes at 11 pm the night before your test like...

Debating to yourself if you should pull an all-nighter this early in the semester or just admit defeat and live by the college mantra of "If I don't know it now, then I never will."

Convincing yourself that sleep is way more important and that you'll "wake up early and study"

Cause 10 times out of 10 waking up at 5 a.m. to study just does not happen no matter how many alarms you set..or snooze. I wonder why.

Waking up 10 minutes before you have to leave for class

Surprise surprise. It's just as you suspected would happen. I'll study before class, during the 5 minutes I have?

Ultimately walking into your test admitting that it's just not gonna happen this week

Test 2 will be YOUR test. Maybe even thinking about studying two days in advance.

But then walking out of class and reminding yourself who you are!!!

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.

WP content

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.
