To be honest everyone procrastinates at some point in life. Whether it be getting out of bed for work or school, doing homework , studying for a test or cleaning the house. It's not only students procrastinating. What do you do when you're procrastinating?

1. Scroll through Facebook and/or Instagram

Everyone tends to pick up their phone and jump on some social network site to see whats going on. Usually its nothing important, but we all got to check it out. Once you get on social media, you see some type of drama going on and you just have to know what has been going on; who got married, whose pregnant, who got drunk last night and made a fool of themselves.

2. Scroll through Pinterest looking for pins

Let's face it, we all love looking through pinterest looking for recipes or any other pins that interest us whether it be looking at baby shower ideas, wedding ideas, recipes to cook at home, etc.

3. Watch your favorite show on Netflix, Hulu or TV

While it may give you a break from life, its difficult to stop watching the TV because you always want to know whats going to happen next. We tend to binge watch a show until we either watch the entire series or season or until we get to a point where were not wondering whats going to happen next.

4. Take a nap

Everyone loves taking a nap. Especially after a long day of working or staying up all night studying for a test. We think were going to take a 30 minute nap that turns into sleeping for the rest of the evening and not getting anything else done.

5. Go shopping

Every female loves to go shopping. Even if its window shopping. Its a great way to get out of the house if you're trying to procrastinate. Even though procrastinating isn't always a good thing. We go to the store to take a break, then you run into friends and next thing you know you're doing other things with them knowing you have a report due or a test the next day.

6. Doing what you love to do (Hobby)

Whether it be knitting, hiking, shooting guns, cooking, we all have something we love to do. Whether it be outdoors or inside.

7. Play video games

Like television, this is probably more of a guys thing. While video games may get your mind off school work and give you a chance to relax, it gets hard to put it down. You keep getting to points where you wanna see what you can do next, or meet that next checkpoint and before you know it its late and you're stuck deciding whether you want to go to bed or stay up and finish that assignment.

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.
