• Vices

    I'm currently studying for a nursing admissions test and I was wondering how the rest of the world prepares for a major examination. Do you go to the library? -hole yourself up in a local coffee shop? -do group study sessions? I for one, have never done group studying for a major exam such as this.…
  • Procrastinator

    I hate that I always do everything last minute. I have a five page paper that is due on Monday. Just started it today. Which means I am hating life. Hence why I ended up on here. Well just had to let that out hehe. Hope everyone is having a marvelous day
  • My Newest Obsession: Bombermine

    I'm the Queen of Procrastination. If I hadn't already declared a major, I might have gotten my degree in. Maybe someday... Anyways, before I wander off to do something unproductive, I just have to share my newest time waster with you! Do you remember Bomberman, that game where you run round a maz…
  • And so it begins. . .

    "Starting over." "This time I mean it." "Fresh start." We've heard it all before. Falling victim to the false promise that a new year brings, or a Monday, or the highly idealized yet mythical tomorrows that never come. Putting things off. I'll admit it. I'll call it what it is: procrastination. It…
  • Breaking It Down

    My partner, who from this point on for literary purposes will be referred to as Handsome Man, came home the other day with a daunting task. He had to finish writing, typing and present to his boss all of his team members' annual reviews...in two days. I'll let you in on a secret. I have no doubts o…
  • Procrasti-cooking

    Sometimes, when I know I should be doing my homework, I cook instead. There's something about chopping, dicing, searing, boiling, steaming, or roasting that is very satisfying. It's probably because all these things are terribly VIOLENT. Yet, they make everything so tasty. It's probably the stress r…
  • I'd rather...

    Today, listening to overdue uni lectures isn’t on my top list of, ‘Things I want to do today.’ I’d much rather poke about on the inter-webs and read articles like this one, America’s Best Bookstores. But, unfortunately, I can’t do that…I have a deadline. So…
  • I'm not about to be another victim.

    I'm going to ahead and state the obvious: it's been a while. I won't deny that I'm the type of person that follows fads. I go where the next big thing is because I know that's where my friends will be. I leave the old things that I used to love in the dust. There was Xanga, then MySpace, then Facebo…
  • B Minor

    In middle school, I took several years'-worth of guitar lessons. You wouldn't know it- I know about as much as a hard working self-taught student would know after about four months... however, I can play. Playing guitar, you can get by knowing just a few basic chords and by making use of a capo. Of…
  • Procrastinating

    I've begun to draw a new portrait. I have the lines in and have erased the grid. Now, I'll stall as long as possible so I don't have to start the process that will bring it to life (metaphorically, I'm not Dr. Frankenstein). It's similar to writing: I look at that scary blank page and can't imagine…
