Stop! You're Working Too Hard!

Here's A Break, Just For You!

Stop! You're Working Too Hard!

Let's face it, we all have those weeks we spend countless hours of what should be dedicated to work/homework/keeping living spaces sanitary to the Emperor of Nothingness- also known as the Great Procrastinator, Overlord of the Unmotivated and In Denial. While we do our best to run the good race, there are some times even the best of us can't quite find the ingredients to the motivation recipe by great-grandma Git-Er-Done. Most of the time, those urges of nope have to be circumnavigated and perseverance through discipline must be endeavored.

But those days when procrastination can be indulged, I am often first in line to savor the couch-potato lifestyle. So for those who are feeling down, having a rough day, or just need a mental brain-break from the snowball of the week, this one's for you. Remember, it's important to take a break if you're doing a lot! It's definitely easy to get swept up in work, especially if you have a lot to do. I decided to help you out if you need some more clues! Here are a few gifs to help us laugh about the importance of (occasional and moderated) procrastination.


1. Welcome to...


2. What happens when you haven't procrastinated in a long time

3. If you haven't had a long enough break and someone tries to tell you to get back to work

I'm a Whovian, of course I have to put a Doctor up here.


4. Try all week, Mabel


5. Sometimes going to a park to procrastinate is healthy too

Y'know, that thing called fresh air you never get!


6. Because, let's face it, sometimes you have so much work you just get -

But no using firearms to interior decorate, please. Sherlock is a sociopath and doesn't understand these principles. The author of this article understands you probably do.


7. "I will do my homework..."


8. But let's face it, you don't want to put yourself in this position


9. Let's face it, you know the pain is coming

Although Bane will reassure you...?


10. You'll probably try reasoning with your grade on your next test



11. But in the end, you'll eventually get overwhelmed and need another rest


Whether you're stressed, overwhelmed, or just need a break from the norm, don't forget to grant yourself a break! I'd recommend a walk, a good cup of tea, or a funny face competition with a good friend other than another internet page, but do what you've got to do!

Cheers!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
