Top 10 Procrastination Tips
Real Memory Improvement

It's that time again: the end of the semester. Final projects, exams, and applications for various future plans are due. You could be doing work, or, you could be procrastinating... Choose procrastination, choose life and fun. Here are some things to help with this excellent life choice.

1. Watch (or re-watch) every season of "Parks and Rec"

Because it's excellent job application motivation. I want to work there. Please?

2. Stickers

Find stickers and buy them, especially if they are vintage Lisa Frank sticker packs from the 90s. Guaranteed popularity, and you can decorate the homework you aren't doing. Win win.

3. Vision Boards

Find magazines and print out pictures of things you like. Make an inspiration board and cover it in whatever you want. It can also just be a collection of random pictures you like with no rhyme or reason. (Mine has pizza cats, a photoshopped picture of me and Michelle Obama, and a Halloween skeleton if you need any inspiration)

4. Coloring In

Find some colored pencils and print off a sample from a grown up coloring book then go to town. Spend hours coloring, and pretend that essay you have to do isn't real.

5. Go outside and do something weird

Because why not. It's oddly liberating. Follow someone, or use bird calls to communicate with your friends, whatever.

6. Dye your hair

And then regret it instantly.

7. Fall into a Wikipedia hole

Start searching for something simple, and follow links for hours until you learn all the new things. You can use your new found knowledge to impress a wide variety of new people.

8. Cook something fun

Might I suggest a recipe from the AMAZING Two Chains cookbook? You need it in your life.

9. Start a blog

I don't understand Tumblr. Don't do it. Start a blog and make your friends all subscribe. They'll love it and you, I promise.

10. Fake blood

Put it on your face like a vampire and walk around with it on all day, and see what people have to say. Be like Vampire John (pictured above) Fun prank? Maybe. Better than working? 10/10 yes.

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.
