You live in this constant state of denial.

This is an article for all those procrastinators, so I will be straight up with you: I was a day late writing this. You're a procrastinator. You wait until the last possible minute to do everything, and sometimes it gets out of hand, but this is you; no lie.

1. You don't like getting up in the morning.

You have to set like 30 alarms knowing that you will hit snooze on all of them.

2. There is no "bedtime."

You stay up late to put off going to sleep, and you take naps during the day to put off homework.

3. You eat when you're bored.

You could have a whole list of things to do, probably boring things, so you just snack all day for something fun to do.

4. You live in a constant state of denial.

"I have plenty of time" is your motto.

5. It's hard to stick to a promise to yourself.

You have an addictive personality, and once you tell yourself you're going to start something new it's very likely you won't pull through.

6. You envy those who are able to concentrate with plenty of time to spare.

Seeing your roommate start studying for a test weeks in advance is kinda intimidating.

7. You're a complainer.

You wait until the last minute for everything and complain there isn't enough time.

8. You underestimate your workload.

"I have plenty of time!" *rolls eyes*

9. You're messy.

Just like everything else, you put off cleaning.

10. You have to lead a busy life.

If not, you would never get anything done.

11. You're a daydreamer.

You spend most of your time dreaming about the future.

12. Everything is "easy."

It's always easy until you have to do it.

13. You get distracted a lot.

Does this even need a comment? I'm sure you stopped reading halfway through, and are scrolling through Facebook.

14. You like to give advice.

Do as you say, not as you do.

15. You think you're going to change.

LOL NO.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
