A Week In The Life Of Me: Procrastination Station
Cosmopolitan UK

Every week at the beginning of the week I ALWAYS tell myself that I'm going to have my article done first to set an example for my team. What ALWAYS happens is that i wait until Saturday or Sunday evening to write my article. EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. I don't know why i procrastinate every week, because i have all Friday afternoon off, and basically every Tuesday and Thursday until 11 off. It's a continuous cycle of "I should get that done early" on Monday, to "Oh i have until Sunday" on Thursday, to "OH CRAP THATS DUE TONIGHT" on Sunday. Here is generally how the procrastination/distraction process goes:

1. Monday: "Oh Im going to get that done early!" *gets distracted by trying to figure out whats going on at GSA*


2. Tuesday: "Oh hey I'm going to start my article tonight!" *gets distracted by Sloth video on Facebook*



3.Wednesday:"Oh yea my article is due in a few days better get on it" *gets distracted by golden retriever video/picture on some sort of social media*


4. Thursday: "Pff I've got till Sunday to finish this, but I should come up with an idea" *gets distracted by something in my room*



5. Friday: "Have to send out that reminder! I should probs start that article" *falls asleep listening to music in bed"


6. Saturday: "Gotta send out the second reminder.....and start my article" *gets distracted by waffle at brunch*


7.Sunday: "The third reminder (and probably like 5 more) has to go out today and what am I missing...... CRAP MY ARTICLE HAS TO BE SUBMITTED!" *goes into panic mode and runs around with a bowl on head"



And this is a day in the life of an editor whom is also a writer.......
This is the weekly struggle I put myself through. Every week i tell myself I'm going to be different, but every week the same thing happens. Is there some sort of reward for this? Probably not, but hey I still can do what I love every week so thats a plus.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
