Dust the baseboards will never be checked off the list.

You know that list of things you need to do that you're never going to actually do until you have to? This list is unlike any other to-do list because it continues to get longer, but never shortens. I typically have lists for my lists, but there are just some things that will never get done because we just hate to do them. I would much rather study for a test or write a paper for a history class than even begin to think about the To-Do-but-don't-want-to-do list.

1. Dust under the furniture.

This usually involves moving the furniture around and that's a lot of effort. No, thank you.

2. Cleaning the corners on all the steps.

Why dust bunnies gather here, I couldn't tell you. But it's a pain to try and balance on each step while trying to dust those hard-to-reach corners.

3. Organizing the garage.

This is some people's dumping place, while others keep it very organized. I don't like the garage because there are bugs.

4. Clean the trashcan.

This seems like a weird one, but when you have to take the trash out every week and the horrid smell that hits you in the face as you open the lid as little as possible. Nobody wants to wash the trashcan, so that smell is only going to get worse.

5. Clean out bookshelves.

I always find myself looking through yearbooks I forgot I had or rereading a chapter from my favorite childhood story. And before you know it, an entire hour has gone by and it's time to cook dinner. Oh well, you tried.

6. The pen drawer.

I think everyone has a pen drawer in their house, somewhere where everyone can grab a pen on the way out the door. But it's amazing how many things get thrown in here.

7. The junk drawer.

Sometimes this goes with the pen drawer or it's a completely separate drawer all together. Either way, weird things migrate here and it's best to just close it and pretend like it's not there.

8. The random coat closet you always forget exists.

There's that random door that nobody ever opens. Sometimes it contains coats and jackets that haven't been worn in years. Others contain Christmas decorations or cleaning supplies. Or it's just a junk closet that never gets opened. Ever.

9. Your keyboard or your laptop.

A lot of the times, we overlook our computer keyboards. Believe it or not, there is actually cleaning supplies sold for keyboards! You use the keyboard all day long so the build up of dirt and food and germs is kind of horrifying to think about.

10. Under your seat in your car.

Just sweep the crumbs under, they'll go away eventually. Right?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.
