7 Reasons Why I Am Late Submitting My Articles

If you've ever written something on a deadline, then you can understand that millions of other things can get in the way of such things. As for me, these are just a few of the things that keep me from getting my things done on time. Hope you can relate!

1. My book is super interesting.

*Disclaimer: none of these books are mine, though I have read 5 of them.

2. Netflix is calling me.

3. Um dinner?

4. Is that my comfy bed all alone? Well I definitely need to give it some company.

*Disclaimer: This is not my bed, though I wouldn't mind spending some time in it because it looks super comfy.

5. My boyfriend wants to hang out with me.

6. Facebook? Instagram? I haven't checked them in about 10 minutes.

7. My crazy roommates want to go on an adventure.

In all seriousness I do try to get these articles done on time, but I usually forget until the last minute or I spend forever on them because I want it to be perfect :) I do hope you all enjoy them!

I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
