My Top Five Favorite Ways To Procrastinate

I don't know about anyone else, but when I have too many things to do, I get super overwhelmed. One would think that the best thing to do in this scenario would be to make a list and knock that baby out one item at a time. Well, I tend to do the complete opposite. I am a master of procrastination. Here are my top five favorite things to do instead of what I should be doing.

5. Organize things that are already hyper organized.

In my kitchen, everything has a place. The cupboards are meticulously organized and clean. But if there is something that I should be doing, I will always choose to organize the kitchen again. Maybe the pots and pans should be switched around. Maybe I should organize the canned goods by date. Hmm, the freezer is a bit packed, I should see if I can make some room. It's a sickness really.

4. Walk my dog.

Typically, Kesha goes out twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. When I have a ton of stuff going on she gets to go out as much as she wants. Oh, you wanna walk around the apartment complex for the 5th time--let's go. Maybe we should go to the dog park even though it's muddy which means we need to get a bath afterwards. Perfect, let's waste ALL the time.

3. Look over my finances.

Okay, I like to be in control of pretty much everything. It has to do with my type a personality and affinity to be super anal retentive. Anyway, I like to look at what bills I have, how much money we have, and how I could change some things around in order to save a few dollars. I could spend hours doing this. I have spreadsheets, my planner, my mobile apps for both banks, and usually a notepad. I'm sure it isn't normal to do that, but hey it beats having to do whatever I should be doing.

2. Memes

I love memes. I love to find new ones, old ones, inappropriate ones, ones that are too soon jokes, you name it, I love them all. I can spend hours between Facebook, Pinterest, and Google finding new ones to send to my friends. Eventually I feel like I might see all of the memes, but that's why they have meme generators so you can make your own. Holla!

1. Netflix and chill

I am really good at binge watching. For example, I started watching How I Met Your Mother approximately 2 weeks ago and I am currently on season 6. If I have stuff going on I would much rather ignore it completely and just watch me some mindless television for hours. It's completely normal.

So there you have it folks, a list of all of my favorite ways to procrastinate. Disclaimer, I did all of these things while procrastinating writing this week's article because well, I suck. :)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
