Whether it is doing homework or writing a paper, everyone avoids doing what they are supposed to. There always seems to be a pattern of procrastination, no matter who you are. You might find yourself following these 13 steps of avoiding an important task.

1. Check your phone

Before I get started, I have to check social media. I'll look to see what everyone is up to, then I'll be ready to go. You never know when a twitter fight will break out!

2. Change clothes

If I stay in my jeans, I am going to be really uncomfortable. Let me get into some sweatpants and fuzzy socks so I can be nice and comfy when I study.

3. Get a snack

Well, before I really get started I need to grab something to eat -then I'll be focused and ready to go. I cannot sit here and let my stomach growl the whole time, so I might as well get ahead of the game.

4. Watch Netflix

In order to be fully focused, I have to know what happens between these two characters. I only have like two more episodes of this season anyways... might as well finish it!

5. Play with your pet

But look at how cute my baby is! Let me go take a selfie with him real quick, then there will be no more distractions.

6. Take a nap

In order to be truely, 100% focused, I better go ahead and nap now so I am at my best when I go to study. I will wake up refreshed and ready to go!

7. Text your friend for "help"

Hold up, I do not get this; I better text my BFF so I know what I am doing before I get started. Wait- I have to tell her what happened in third period first...

8. Look on Pinterest

Oh, I was looking at the cutest little fairy lights the other day; let me pull those up before I forget about them! How did people survive without this?!

9. Reorganize your room

I wonder what my bed would look like by the window. You know, I have been meaning to rearrange some things- I better do that now or else it is going to bother me.

10. Daydream

I wonder what my crush is doing right now. I better wear something cute to impress him... but at the same time, I really want to wear sweatpants. Oh- I could wear those leggings that make me look good! Ugh, but I bummed it today and yesterday...

11. Turn on some music

Okay seriously, let me just play my song real quick- I will dance out the nerves and then I will be good to go for real this time.

12. Try a new hairstyle

For real, I'm just going to put my hair up in a cute way then it will be out of my face and I can focus. There was that one cute hairstyle on Pinterest I can try!

13. Give up

Forget it, I will do it later.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
