14 Ways To Tell You're Procrastinating

Sometimes in college, especially at this point of the semester, we try to find ways to get out of assignments or keep pushing the time back when we say we want to start something. I've compiled a wonderful list on how to tell if you're procrastinating.

1. You keep hitting the snooze button.

2. You take three showers in one day.


3. You just keep watching Netflix ("Next episode will begin in 5...4...3...2...1...")


4. You start a paper the night before it's due.


5. You find yourself daydreaming while reading a required text for one of your classes.


6. You tell people that you're going to start studying...and then don't.


7. You keep yourself occupied by doing something that isn't what you should be doing.


8. You've probably started watching a new show on Netflix that you never thought you would watch and then BAM it's suddenly the best show ever.


9. You suddenly decide to pick up a new hobby.


10. You nap more than once a day.


11. You're looking for easy shortcuts while doing your work.

12. You plan out your entire dream home on Pinterest.


13. You update that one album on Facebook that just needs to be updated.


14. You start taking more personality tests.


15. You're reading an article about how to tell if you're procrastination (or writing one about it).

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
