So I know we all get our occasional visit from our dear friend, procrastination. In fact, procrastination happens to be our pestering roommate who is always around, steering us to do things we know we shouldn't do, but do anyways. Sometimes procrastination gets the best of us, leaving you with a trail of things you need to get done by, say, right now. We all are subdue to procrastinations evil games and sometimes just don't know how much it hurts us.

Here are a few reasons why you should stop procrastinating:

We Give Up More Of Our Free Time:

We get caught up with insignificant things instead of getting the task at hand done, leaving us to use our last bits of free time in a rush to get all of our things done.

Results In Sloppy Work:

At those moments that we are trying to get stuff done, we forget about the quality of whatever we are doing because we are more focused on getting the task done on time.

Brings Stress:

You find yourself a lot more stressed because in the back of your mind you know that you have things you need to get done and are cramping your time to do it.

So trust me when I say this friends, kick procrastination out and look for motivation. Once you start focusing on your task at hand, you start to realize how much more free time you have, you’ll feel less stressed, and a lot more well rounded. Procrastination helps no one. Stay on top of your responsibilities and good things are sure to come.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
