19 Things To Do Instead Of Homework

I'll let you in on a little secret...I'm writing this article instead of doing mine.

19 Things To Do Instead Of Homework

1. Netflix.

The go-to for every college student. If you're really trying to avoid homework, take some time to watch the entire first season of "Fuller House"…I won't judge you.

2. Spend some time swiping through Tinder.

Even if you're not looking to meet your Prince Charming, swiping right on everyone just to see who you match with is a great self-esteem booster when your lack of motivation has you feeling down.

3. Look at pictures of puppies on Google.

My personal obsession is videos of Doug the Pug, but googling videos of your favorite dog breed will instantly make you feel better.

4. Search drink recipes on Pinterest.

Even though you may never make or drink them, getting lost in the black hole of Pinterest drink recipes is always a good idea (they just have such funny names!).

5. Make yourself a snack.

Because re-energizing will make you more productive, right? Probably not, but it’s worth a shot.

6. Bother your roommate.

If you can't be productive, might as well drag your roommate down with you.

7. Starbucks run.

Exhausted and stressed? Caffeine is the answer…

8. Take a nap.

When you're too stressed to function you can nap for an hour…or four, whatever happens happens.

9. Paint your nails.

Sure, no one's going to see them but anything's better than reading a chapter of your boring, insanely overpriced text book.

10. Call mom and dad.

Nothing makes me miss home more than drowning in responsibilities, papers and readings.

11. Online shopping.

Even if I only have $2 in my bank account, online shopping is the perfect way to avoid my responsibilities.

12. Dance it out.

Like from the holy grail, "Grey's Anatomy," when things get too hard, take a break and dance it out!

13. Complain to your friends about how much you have you to do.

Of course, this won't accomplish anything, but might as well spread your misery around. After all, what are friends for?

14. Download a pointless game onto your phone.

Nothing benefits your education more than playing Kanye West's new app. I mean c'mon, I could win a pair of Yeezy's!

15. Facebook stalk that guy..his brother…his mom…cousins…etc.

The real way to a guy's heart is through knowing every detail of his Spring Break 2013, and all about his grandma's big 80th birthday party.

16. Take pictures of yourself with EVERY Snapchat filter.

Ever wonder what you'd look like as a dog, an alien or barfing out a rainbow? Me neither, but it sure is fun wasting time to find out.

17. Watch makeup tutorials on YouTube.

I'll probably never be able to do my eye makeup like that and will have no reason to, but it's cool to watch you do it YouTube beauty gurus.

18. Making a to-do list of all the things you need to do.

In the time it takes to make you a list of everything you need to do, you probably could've knocked out at least a reading or two, but at least you're organized.

19. Checking your grades to see if you really need to do the homework.

And, as a last resort…how necessary is the homework. Remember my friends, Cs get degrees.

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.

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.
