25 Things You've Probably Done Instead Of Doing Homework

Not many people enjoy doing homework, and that is understandable. When it comes to getting work done there are three kinds of people: the people who sit down and get it done, the people who prefer to procrastinate and do it last minute, and the people who do a little bit of both. It is very easy to distract yourself from the boring world of homework, and if you are a procrastinator than you've probably done a few of the following things. Here are 25 things you've probably done when you should have been doing homework:

1. Watched Netflix

2. Taken a nap

3. Gone to the gym

4. Scrolled through all of your social media accounts

5. Cleaned/Did Laundry

6. On-line shopping

7. Real life shopping

8. Showered

9. Called your family/ friends back home

10. Called it a day and just went to bed

11. Created a new playlist on Spotify

12. Distracted your roommate from their homework and talked about whatever came to your mind

13. Went to get food or focused way more on your snack than your textbook

14.Sat/lay on the floor and thought about life

15. Looked out the window and saw everyone else having a good time while your stuck doing work

16. Checked the weather

17. Planned ways to not procrastinate

18. Watched YouTube videos, because you can never just watch one

19. Thought about all of the things that you have to do and made a list

20. Checked your bank account and cried because there is way less money than you thought in there

21. Sang all the words to your favorite Disney song

22. Remembered a hobby that you haven't done in a while and decided to give it a try

23. Looked at places you could go for the next vacation

24. Paid attention to the conversation in your group message instead of your notes

25.Wrote your Odyssey article for the week

Some of these are simple things that don't take much time, but chances are if you do one, another is soon to follow. Procrastination is something that comes with the life of being a student, I am not saying that it is a good thing, but it happens. Some of you probably even read this article because you are procrastinating. Don't let procrastination get the best of you, but if you are going to do it, make sure you are doing something worth it!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
