Procrastination is the worst form of torture possible if you think about. It is literally taking something you dread and trying to stop the inevitable for as long as possible and trying to act like it doesn't exist. It's sad, and yet as I talk about this I am writing this article the last possible day that I could. It's as if this trap of putting things off and trying to act like they aren't important until two hours before they are due is inescapable. But surprisingly there is a way out!

The biggest thing for me especially here at college is having the ability to plan all my own time out for the week. So I would definitely recommend sitting down the beginning of each week whether that is Sunday night or Monday write down what you have from your syllabi. Then once you have your general overview go through class by class and determine which assignments and papers need to be done first versus last. Schedule day by day and you will be surprised how easy it is to work through that ever-growing list of things to do. But if that doesn't work then there is still a little hope.

Even if you don't like to be that particular and schedule your whole life you can still have a dedicated work time. So maybe you want to just plan a majority of one of your days to do work, go for it. Crank out as much as you can in that time period and then you won't even have to worry about it all later on then. But sadly if this doesn't work then there might be little hope. Your life as procrastinator can not and will not be avoided.

If you don't start getting stuff done in good time and trying to stay up on your work you may be a procrastinator for life. Speaking mine from own experience I seem to be the latter. So if you are in my boat then my best advice is to seek others who are life long procrastinators and procrastinate together. Then maybe you won't feel so bad. But seriously if possible guys, don't wait because if you do you'll procrastinate.

Try your hardest, give it the effort and who knows maybe you can overcome this curse so many of us are stuck. For those of you permanently stuck in this habit, good luck and I am right there with you in this struggle. So keep on keeping on and may the inevitable slowly but surely creep up on you until you are cramming everything. I will never be sorry for being a procrastinator it's who I am. Forever a procrastinator, forever cramming, forever waiting to the last possible moment.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
