Meet The Worlds Best Procrastinator

We're all guilty of it, and many of us brag about how skilled we are at it.

As most of us know, procrastination is a huge part of college life (or for me, just life in general.) We post on Yik Yak, Twitter, and Facebook about wisely spending our free time watching Netflix or taking a nap and then complain every two seconds about being up at 3AM. We tell ourselves that we're going to hate ourselves if we don't get to work soon but end up chugging three cups of coffee instead.

Here are 12 thoughts many students (mostly girls) have when genuinely trying to focus on their school work:

1. I totally got this. I'm in the library. My books are out. Honestly, I don't even have THAT much to do. I'll totally be done in two hours max.

2. Let me just check Facebook really quick before I start so I can get it out of my system. Then I'll be in the zone.

3. Aww, a Buzzfeed article about cats.

4. A quiz about Which Gilmore Girls Character Are You? Okay, after this I swear I'll start my reading. I want to get to bed early tonight.

5. *Opens textbook and reads five pages* What did I just read? Why do I even try?

6. I definitely deserve a break after that. I'll go get Starbucks to reward myself.

7. You know what goes perfectly with a Caramel Apple Spice? Pinterest.

8. Maybe I should go shopping tomorrow. I mean I shouldn't ... But I should ...

9. *Types out name, date, and title of paper on Word doc* I wonder what's happening on Twitter ... Hahaha, oh Josh Peck, marry me already.

10. Do I still have a Tumblr?

11. I need to paint my nails. I'll do that tomorrow.

12. 1AM ALREADY?! Ehh, I'll just do it in the morning.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.
