Some Call It Procrastination

"I’m responsible. I can say no to going out on a Saturday because I have to do homework. And then I’ll just go out on Monday, right?"

Wrapping up finals week, my body is currently hating me. I typically get around six to seven hours of sleep, yet this week I probably averaged somewhere around five. And let me tell you, that one hour difference, good lordy it makes all the difference.


I don’t know how this is possible, but my mind is numb, yet at the same time throbbing. I’ve come to realize this week that this is, in fact, the very reason why my semester has been so amazing. I have put off every single speck of work until this last week. I love that I did that. Some people believe that if you plan accordingly, you can work on the work that you have to do little by little, and over time, it will fly by like it wasn’t even there. But not me. I like a little pressure.

I’ve mastered the art of actually scheduling my procrastination. Now I know what you’re thinking. Actually, no I don’t. But you could be thinking “wow this dude is f*cking weird.” True. However, some of you may actually agree with me (you crazy kids, you). Yes, that’s right. I actually have learned to schedule my procrastination. To those curiously shaking their head and asking themselves, “wouldn’t that just be called scheduling?” No. You’re wrong. Sorry. And this is why…

Then I suddenly remember, wait, I can do it when I should be sleeping! I can do it when I want. That’s really how I’ve been looking at it lately. Mostly because I used to work on schoolwork in order to be able to go out on a Thursday night. In order to go out on the weekends and hangout with friends. Then I asked myself, “why I am I letting society dictate my schedule?” I’m responsible. I can say no to going out on a Saturday because I have to do homework. And then I’ll just go out on Monday, right? Anyways… Procrastination is fine, it really is. For those of you who are still procrastinating, keep up the good work. Some call it procrastinating, I like to think of it more like... 'waiting for perfection.' And yes, that does make me feel better about it. Remember, it’s not a problem, it’s a lifestyle. Rock it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
