Why You Should Never Procrastinate On School Assignments

You've done it and I've done it. It happens to everyone at some point.

Why You Should Never Procrastinate On School Assignments
Wikipedia

This is based on my very first semester in college. Although, I'm almost positive that this is an accurate description of the assignment crunch that almost every college student may engage in at one point or another, regardless of what year you're in.


You think that you have all the time in the world to get everything done.


Then you realize that you have a bunch of assignments to catch up on in the span of a month before finals.


So, you try to relax and plan out how you're going to tackle each task.


At first, everything goes well and you begin to be productive for the first week or two.


Then your friends ask you to come over and hang out.


Although you want to go, you decline and tell them that you have to study and be a responsible student.


Then they try to convince you to still come out anyway.



After going back and forth about it (and some careful consideration), you eventually cave in while thinking that you did a considerable amount of work in that short time period.


So, here you are, out and about and enjoying yourself without a care in the world.


In the midst of partying, you remember that one of your papers is due tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. sharp.


Terrified and in a panic, you frantically head back to your dorm to at least start it


You finally make it back and begin to furiously type it up so that you can upload it in time.


As you begin to finish that last page, your body begins to shut down and sleep tries to take over.


Unfortunately, you lose the battle to sleep.


The next morning, you wake up and realize that you're down to the last sentence, but you only have five minutes before the deadline.


You finish and upload it just in the nick of time.



After that near-fail experience, you vow to never let that happen again.


At least, for now.

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.
