Are you experiencing the mid-semester lull? Are you struggling to find the energy to finish all your work? Are you a senior and is senioritis setting in? We all get stuck during the semester at some point. Spring break is over and the weather is still cold outside, so it still feels like winter. Some days it can be hard to focus and distractions can take over your life. You can ask any college student and they will give you a list of things they do when they are procrastinating.

1. Clean your apartment

This is actually a good one, no one wants to live in a dirty apartment.

2. Re-decorate your room

Rearrange pictures on the wall and things sitting on your desk and dresser. Heck, if you are really motivated you can even move some furniture.

3. People watch

This is really fascinating. Watching how humans interact with each other is really interesting. You can learn so much about someone when you just observe them.

4. Bake

Cookies, brownies, they are all delicious! Everyone always needs a little pick me up.

5. Learn the choreography to a Beyonce music video.

Let's face it, none of us will ever be Beyonce, but we can all try and have some fun!

6. Go on Pinterest and plan your ideal wedding.

Ideas for party planning on the best! and once you go down that rabbit hole, you may never return.

7. Watch tons of celebrity interviews on Youtube

Watching the Ellentube, or any other video on Youtube will get you lost for hours.

8. Binge watch any TV show.

This one is self-explanatory.

9. Play with the Snapchat filters.

The voice changes are really fun!

10. Put on a face mask to improve your skin.

11. Look at old pictures from when you studied abroad and cry.

Everyone has a special connection with the city they studied abroad in if they decided to do so. The pictures will remind you of the good times in college.



Everyone experiences procrastination is different ways, but by the time you have graduated college, most of us are experts. For me, getting started is always the hardest part, but once you get one a roll don't stop and don't let anyone distract you. I put my phone on "Do not Disturb" and try to get as much done as possible.

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.

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.
