i put the pro in procrastination

i put the pro in procrastination

i used to be the kind of girl that did my homework on friday nights, so i could have the rest of the weekend free without worrying

now i'm the kind of girl that just completely puts off school work 

guess what?
i'm putting off school work right now

and right now

i really need to write a two page essay on a non-narrative movie 
(it's called Baraka -- it was surprisingly pretty good.. )
(for a 1 hour and 36 minute documentary with no words) 

i also really need to record a three minute spanish paper 
(somehow i'm taking AP spanish.. not sure how that happened)

I also have to do a chem lab.
the instructions are pretty much as vague as it gets, 
so we'll see if i can manage it without exploding my house

last but not least i have to do a butt load large amount of history work


yes, i know i'm complaining 
i also know that i don't care;)


i have been putting off my work for so long that i know i just need to buckle down and do it.
unfortunately, with virtual school, it's all to easy to get distracted.
especially when the internet is involved.
am i the only one that finds pinterest even more interesting when i should be doing something productive?

it's gotten so bad that even my outfits have reflected how i feel
yes, i did go out in public with this outfit.
(i did put shoes on though, in case you were wondering)
i have no shame




but right after i post this i'm making myself get done with as much work as possible! 

as much as i am whining though, i have gotten a good amount of work done these past few days! 
here's proof 
(the highlighted stuff is what i have accomplished!)


what do you do when you want to do
 anything and everything except what you are supposed to?

has the train ever dropped you off at procrastination station? 

thanks for reading this very whiny post!

the lilly locker look

the thing i have the hardest time with at school is keeping my locker neat. i am a really unorganized and sloppy person, and i just can't fix it! every year my friends have an intervention, because it gets to the point where i can't close my locker and i end up being late to class. i've also hit numerous people on the head with my books, because they fell out of my locker when i opened it.
 it's a problem, but it's not a problem i'm really willing to fix and there are no "unorganized anonymous" groups where i live. 
its kind of fun having a messy locker though, because at the end of the year i rediscover lost things. last school year i found a pair of socks and a cute j.crew sweater (that's just in the fashion category)! 
just because i'm a messy person, doesn't mean i don't love my locker to look cute! the easiest part for me to keep looking cute and neat(ish) is the inside of the door! because i'm a lilly lover, i decided to make these ADORABLE little flag type things to hang at the top of the door. i also went on tumblr and found a few cute quotes a pictures. and lastly i went on Facebook and picked out my favorite pictures to put inside! 
so here's a little tutorial on how to make the flags! i think that a larger size of these would look absolutely adorable on a wall in your room, or if you're going into college then these are a great way to cover your ugly dorm room walls! 

top left -- gather your supplies! you'll need cute paper (i printed 4x6 lilly prints and cute them, but change the size depending on what you're making it for)
top right -- punch two holes on the left corner and two holes on the right corner
bottom left-- punch all your triangles!
bottom right-- measure the lanyard (note, i think ribbon looks cuter, but i didn't have any to match)
p.s. ignore the nail polish, i know its atrocious 


top -- weave the lanyard through all the holes!
bottom -- knot of the ends


honestly, this is one of the easiest crafts i have ever made, and it's so cheap yet so so so cute! 

finished look if you do two rows



finished look with one row
obviously i didn't put this in a real locker, because i don't have keys to the school. you would probably need to use five triangles across for a real locker though, so plan ahead! 

do you decorate your locker?
thanks for reading!
