1st World Problems - Procrastinating


One of my biggest problems that I struggle with on a daily basis is the fact that I am a procrastinator. It's my sin, my nemesis, my foe...you name it. I procrastinate without even realising I'm doing it, only being in my 2nd year of university it's something that I am going to have to work on. It will never completely go away. All I can do is try and keep my procrastination at a minimum.


The best ways of finding a cure is figuring out what causes me to procrastinate. Thinking about it, there are so many ways in which I do this that does nothing but waste my time. 


I've compiled a list of the number of ways in which I procrastinate, preventing me from getting little to anything done at all.

Daydreaming

Definitely my biggest cause of procrastination. I can get lost in my mind for hours and before I know it I'm too tired to get anything done.

Browsing through Facebook/Twitter

By default I'm on Facebook or Twitter browsing through the feeds. I end up clicking on one article that interests me and then another, also playing one to many games of Bejewelled Blitz. 10-20 minutes of my time is regularly wasted on either social media each time I check in.

Listening to Music

This is another thing I could easily waste hours doing and it goes side by side with daydreaming. When I listen to music I often end up daydreaming about random stuff. I could easily spend a whole day doing this.

Watching Youtube Videos

Sometimes I watch a funny/entertaining video before getting down to doing actual work. The work before the play. However, it often doesn't pan out that way because by the time I decide to do work I'm just not in that frame of mind. Also, it's beyond easy to intend on watching one video, before 1 video becomes 7 and it's also weird how much you can stray from the original video you were watching.

Sleeping

Sometimes I am just too tired to do any work and if I'm at home, especially if I am in my bed then the easiest and most desirable option is to sleep. Sleep >>Work.

Jordin Sparks talks Jason Derulo Break Up & more!


In a recent interview with radio station Hot 97, singer Jordin Sparks featured in a lengthy but enjoyable interview, where the presenters waste no time in grilling her about her break up with fellow artist Jason Derulo.

When the former couple split back in September, many people including myself were shocked. They made for a cute and formidable couple, who had been together for quite a long time (3 years to be precise). I also remember this being around the time where other couples no one expected to split broke up such as Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

To summarise, Jordin Sparks revealed that she didn't really know the reason behind their break up as the two had never really sat down and talked about things. It's clear from the interview that these two didn't exactly end things on the best of terms, but it also seems that their break up was initiated on Derulo's side rather than Jordin's.

I was pleasantly surprised with how open and honest Jordin Spark's was in regards to spending the majority of the interview talking about her ex. I mean, who would want to spend their time rehashing the past and what's already been said and done? She could have chosen not to delve into the subject of Derulo but was instead open and honest about the whole thing.

Even more than that, it was interesting to hear that Jason Derulo was her first love as I admittedly did not know this (another thing that I didn't know, surprise!). Adding to the fact that for years she had a purity ring as she was saving herself for marriage.

One of the great qualities in a person is someone who is able to acknowledge their flaws which she does in this interview and that can be a very hard thing to do. Kudos.

So, if a young girl was to choose to have a role model in the entertainment industry, then Jordin Sparks would probably be the way to go.
