Ways To Avoid Being Productive

While texting my sister today, otherwise known as Sass Queen, I realized how unproductive I had been since I came home from work. I had this whole plan to clean my room, make dinner, and submit my article for the week but I ultimately avoided that by watching Netflix and taking a nap. With all that in mind, my sister and I compiled a list of ways we avoid being productive so we could share them all here with you.

1. Scrolling through Facebook/Twitter/Instagram even though nothing new is popping up.

2. Doing your make up... just because.

3. Binge watching a show on Netflix that you've already seen 3 times.

4. Playing with random stuff in your room/reorganizing your bedroom furniture.

5. Eating and Napping.

6. Convincing yourself you don't feel well so you don't feel bad about laying in bed all day.

7. Dance parties by yourself in your underwear.

8. Pinterest-ing that wedding even though you don't have a groom/bride yet.

9. Moving to different rooms in the house to feel productive when you're really just walking around for no reason.

10. Talking to literally anyone around you.

11. Googling cute dogs wearing tiny hats.

12. Researching fun facts about Disney or cats or pie or whatever your heart desires.

The list could go one forever and ever and as much as I love getting stuff done, avoiding it is just so much better.

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.
