Things I'd Rather Do Instead Of Homework

We're at that point in the semester where we have a ton of homework but no motivation to do it. So here's to all you procrastinators, let me know if this list is accurate.

Clean my room

They say that a clean working environment makes you more productive, so I should clean my room before I do my homework right? Yes, but it only works if you actually clean your room instead of starting and getting distracted by all the cool things you forgot you lost.

Check social media

And by social media, I mean all of it. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, and whatever else you have. It helps you stay involved while wasting a solid hour of time that you should have spent doing homework but didn't.

Learn to cook

Attempting to do homework tends to make people hungry and it might be useful to know how to make something other than coffee and Ramen. And no, microwavable macaroni does not count.

Go outside

The weather has been amazing lately. Fall is in full swing (except in Florida) so why not go outside and enjoy it before the bitter cold keeps you indoors. Besides, fresh air is good for you.

Run errands

I have to do them anyway so might as well do it right now. And for the next few hours since I really don't want to write this paper/work on this project/whatever is it you're procrastinating on.

Watch Netflix

Or Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Whatever streaming service you have, chances are it's much better than actually completing the assignment that's due in the next few days. Especially if you're in the middle of binge watching.

Read Odyssey articles

Let's be real, they've grown on you a little. And there's one for every occasion, including procrastination. If you play your cards right, you might even be able to consider this "research," though I use that term very loosely.

Now that I'm done procrastinating on my own homework, it's time for you to do yours. Or click to the next article. Whatever floats your boat.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
