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 think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
