Let’s face it. Although we all try to be good students and organize ourselves in the best way possible, we will fall fast and hard into the pit of procrastination. Even if it’s just for a day, or a couple of hours, we might as well embrace it and know that it is soon coming our way. Well, as a realist and a true embracer of this reality, I’ve come up with a few good things to do when you do decide to procrastinate. Hope they help!

1.Watch some Ted talks

When you find yourself just sitting down and not doing much, a good thing to turn to is working out. It can be something as simple as running. Working out will get you up and moving, and hopefully, wake you up.

3. Take a nice bubble bath

If you find yourself doing absolutely nothing while having 6 or 7 hours worth of material to study, you most likely need to freshen yourself up and decompress before doing so. Don’t lollygag or waste your time trying to figure it out-just jump right in and give yourself what you need. Hopefully, after doing so, you’ll be rejuvenated and ready to go.

4. Watch a good old movie

Sometimes, when you’ve been studying too much, you can almost feel like your entire life reminds you of school. Watching a lengthy, random movie that is completely unrelated to school can help distract you. Just remember to not go on a binging surge.

5. Hang out with some friends from school

There’s nothing better than being surrounded by people who completely understand you. Once you get together with a group of friends from school, you will all be complaining about essentially the same things and will want to altogether do away with it in some form or another. Make time to chill, but as soon as you’re done, get ready to jump back in the books. Happy studying!

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.
