I Did These 20 Things Instead of Writing My Odyssey Article

If my middle name wasn't Rachelle, it would definitely be Procrastination.

If my middle name wasn't Rachelle, it would certainly be Procrastination. Procrastinating is an art I have come to master and I'm not ashamed of it in the least. While I usually think of my Odyssey articles up well ahead of time, this week my ideas have been slacking. So I thought I would write about the other things I did this week instead of writing my article.

1. I rewrote the draft title of my article fifteen different times.

2. I played laser tag with my cat.

3. On Tuesday night, I went to Applebee's with my friends and ate half-priced apps.

4. I did my homework (woah.)

5. For an hour and a half, I played with my makeup.

6. I took a quiz that calculated my life expectancy. Apparently, I'm living until I'm 89.

7. On Sunday, I watched Black Panther, which is a pretty amazing movie!

8. I absolutely had to do my laundry so that is what I did on Saturday evening.

9. I Instagram stalked three different corgi accounts.

10. I took approximately 13 naps throughout the week.

11. I Googled weird things for an hour.

12. On Friday, I took my choir folder out and practiced my music.

13. I gave myself a pedicure.

14. My Spotify account played a bunch of hits, so I danced around my kitchen.

15. I belted to Taylor Swift at least thirteen times.

16. I found my cute, reusable water bottle buried deep in my backpack.

17. My best friend and I played Jeopardy with Alexa and lost.

18. I thought of five different article ideas before settling for this one.

19. I learned how to make grilled cheese in the oven.

20. I planned my dream home on my Pinterest account.

As you can see, my week has been incredibly busy and productive. I probably should have written my article three days before the due date instead of three hours before, but that's why life is full of lessons! Catch me here again next week with a better planned article!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
