10 Things All Procrastinators Know To Be True As Told By Cristina Yang

US China

Even Grey's Anatomy's finest waits till last minute from time to time!

1. You know far too well that people come and go, so you only bother to get to know the ones who are going to stick around!

Like Cristina, you probably put off learning the names and faces of people you have mutual friends with, or you are introduce to at a party. You're a busy person, and you make time for your friends and the people you love who have a place in your life, and you have a place in theirs!

2. You're always in a rush, and "prioritizing" is your middle name.

Because your free time is so limited, you only devote yourself to worthy causes that capture your attention! But the promise of food always persuades you to comply.

3. You never have time to change, and you often dress inappropriately for an occasion.

You wear your gym clothes just about everywhere - yes, you even rock your Lulus at the bar - but who cares? You look good doing it.

4. You start your essay due at 11:59pm at roughly 11:35pm, and realize that you probably shouldn't have underestimated the assignment and overestimated your BS abilities.

Do people still actually read textbooks they buy for class? Asking for a friend.

5. You're always running 10 minutes late, and when all your friends are ready to go out, you are nowhere near prepared to be seen in public.

We've all been there. All of us.

6. Even though you're well aware of your flaws, let's face it. You have no spare time in your day to work on bettering yourself.

I'll think about it tomorrow.

7. You know that you have to make things happen in your life, because they're not going to just happen... But wouldn't it be nice if it did?

If you find another available country Cristina, I call dibs.

8. Your professor gives you a month to complete assignment, and even though you choose to start 2 days prior to the deadline, it's still his fault.

Never take the blame in the procrastination game!

9. Getting to work late is the norm for you, but you're the only one who's allowed to criticize your tardiness!

When people start noticing your procrastination tendencies, you won't stand for it.

10. You're bad at making time for your friends because you're so preoccupied with yourself and how behind on life you are.

Waiting until last minute isn't always so great... Make time for those who matter!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Illistrated image of people crowded with banners to support a cause

StableDiffusion

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

1245

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.
