28 Things I'd Rather Do Than Work
The Mighty

It's finally here: that point in the semester where there is so much to do, but you just don't want to do it. That motivation and drive you had in the beginning of the semester is slowly starting to dwindle and we're all holding out until Thanksgiving Break. That is why I have compiled this lovely list of things I would rather do than work/study/anything related to school.

1. Sleep

2. Eat

3. Hang out with friends

4. Binge-watch shows on Netflix

5. Go outside and enjoy the fall weather

6. Actually sit down and have nothing to do

7. Watch my favorite YouTubers for hours at a time

8. Go on a date with my significant other

9. Go and explore the city

10. Shop online for cute clothes and Pop figures

11. Pet puppies. Lots of them.

12. Dance

13. Work out at the gym

14. See a play/musical

15. Lay in bed literally all day

16. Go home and see my family

17. Have a movie night with my roommate

18. Hike a nature trail

19. Read a good book

20. Drink some tea and relax

21. Do some self reflection

23. Think about all the lovely people I have in my life

24. Think about how supported I am

25. Think about how to get through the rest of the semester

26. Make a game plan

27. Put that plan into action

28. Push through the rest of the semester and reward yourself with 1-20.

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.
