Top 10 Procrastination Tips
Real Memory Improvement

It's that time again: the end of the semester. Final projects, exams, and applications for various future plans are due. You could be doing work, or, you could be procrastinating... Choose procrastination, choose life and fun. Here are some things to help with this excellent life choice.

1. Watch (or re-watch) every season of "Parks and Rec"

Because it's excellent job application motivation. I want to work there. Please?

2. Stickers

Find stickers and buy them, especially if they are vintage Lisa Frank sticker packs from the 90s. Guaranteed popularity, and you can decorate the homework you aren't doing. Win win.

3. Vision Boards

Find magazines and print out pictures of things you like. Make an inspiration board and cover it in whatever you want. It can also just be a collection of random pictures you like with no rhyme or reason. (Mine has pizza cats, a photoshopped picture of me and Michelle Obama, and a Halloween skeleton if you need any inspiration)

4. Coloring In

Find some colored pencils and print off a sample from a grown up coloring book then go to town. Spend hours coloring, and pretend that essay you have to do isn't real.

5. Go outside and do something weird

Because why not. It's oddly liberating. Follow someone, or use bird calls to communicate with your friends, whatever.

6. Dye your hair

And then regret it instantly.

7. Fall into a Wikipedia hole

Start searching for something simple, and follow links for hours until you learn all the new things. You can use your new found knowledge to impress a wide variety of new people.

8. Cook something fun

Might I suggest a recipe from the AMAZING Two Chains cookbook? You need it in your life.

9. Start a blog

I don't understand Tumblr. Don't do it. Start a blog and make your friends all subscribe. They'll love it and you, I promise.

10. Fake blood

Put it on your face like a vampire and walk around with it on all day, and see what people have to say. Be like Vampire John (pictured above) Fun prank? Maybe. Better than working? 10/10 yes.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.

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.
