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!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
