Time Strategies

Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination

I'd never thought of just starting on something as being a way to avoid procrastination, even if it's a small step. I always wake up in a day or even think about what I have to do the day before and yet I still manage to procrastinate till the last minute. 



So while I feel that I am good at managing my time, I know that I am bad at managing my energy. Often, even with big plans for the day, halfway through I give up on the rest of my agenda because I'm just too tired or lack the energy to start working ahead on things. Doing the worst things first and saving the best for last seemed like a useful tip, especially considering that when you finish with something great/something easy, all the work you'd done that day seems to be easy. I often find myself saving the hardest work for last because it requires the most of my time and attention. I should definitely try switching that up for once.

Introduction to a Horror Movie Lover

Hello everyone, my name is Callie Simonton. I'm a Film and Media studies major currently in my final semester at the University of Oklahoma. I love movies, specifically horror movies.

Something about the idea of the extensive makeup effects and the creation of paranormal and otherworldly monsters make my interests in horror films even worse. Favorites? The Saw series, those films are just so mind bending and fun to watch. I took a few Horror classes over the last few semesters and I enjoyed every single bit of them. With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Week 12 Story: The Wise Mantis

There was a wise yet strange mantis who lived very lonesomely in an orchid plat near the base of a tree. His neighbors, bless him, were a colony of carpenter ants who lived inside the base of the tree. The mantis was an outcast, he was small and couldn’t even fend for himself when he was put up against other mantises. It was hard for him to find food, in fact, even with food right at his doorstep he was wise to know not to play around with a colony of ants, especially ones with big chommpers and a reputation for getting angry. But, being wise, mantis hatched a plan. He froze, unnmoving, like a stick, right outside the openings of the colony’s empire. He observed, and watched as they worked all day into the night...until work stopped. See, in first hour of darkness the ants would stop working, and exactly a minute before nine, the last ants would arrive one by one with their catch of food for the day. The mantis knew this was his chance to strike, his chance at survival. So the mant...
