Hi Amy! Hope you are doing well ❤ I totally agree with you about the 5-minute rule! I do or look through a few questions and suddenly feel motivated because they seem way easier than I thought! My motivation is how hard I see my friends and parents work, when they come home tired but still answer all my questions, why would I not do my homework, leading to poor qualifications and killing all my parents' hard work!? I love soft deadlines they make me finish stuff way earlier and contribute to a better sleep schedule! This may not be a good thing but my main motivation is negative motivation because getting bad merits from my teachers would 'ruin my perfect reputation' if you know what I mean plus the 'pit' when you feel when you get a bad mark really hurts my energy. The tip you gave about making a visual sounds great, I'm going to try it, but hopefully, there won't be too many incidents in it! self-care is very important because when you are more confident I find that when getting homework I think that since I'm already good at this topic it won't take that long right? One of my biggest fears is FOMO but I find that using the YOLO mindset helps! YOLO doesn't only apply to having fun but also to getting top marks and studying hard! Your metaphor of time and money is so right! I'm currently trying to cut my screen time, wish me luck! ILYSM and you are doing amazing! Please keep helping us with useful tips with fun clips! (P.S. This video was great but id say I like the story time videos a bit better, its more motivational but different things work for different people!)
HI, whoa I love your comment so much - thank you for how deeply you think about my advice and how to study better :) I hope you’re doing well too ❤ Yes, thanks for sharing about how starting a little bit gives you momentum - often we just need to first get over that tiny bump of activation energy! Really like how you think about doing justice to our parents hard work. That’s exactly what I talked about in my “truth about motivation video” :) I can tell you’re incredibly bright and have so much ahead of you ✨ good to know you like story time a bit more. P.S. cute profile pic and name!
Couldn't have said it better! I bet most of us, can relate to this. Thank you so much for this incredible comment! Love the way you worded this out, you are 100 percent right. :)
@@HumanHuman. walaikum salam! Im so happy you found it helpful! I really do watch her content carefully so I'm so glad you realised! (I ended up watching this video 3 times in a row 😅) This is my first time getting pinned!
This is like, SO ACCURATE. She literally just voiced out all the problems that I have with procrastination AND gave solutions that would actually work omg :))
Quick summary, thank you, wAmy 1. The one thing I will just do one task and then do a pleasurable thing (e.g., walking, meditation, 10 push-ups) 2. Soft deadlines with consequences Fun plans before the actual deadline Sprinkle of discomfort 3. Positive and negative motivation mix If I procrastinate, I feel stressed and not worthy (those feelings like a cue and the result of not doing something) I hate that feeling I got before If I lose, I will be beaten by myself Make a visual reminder > fuel your inner drive to continue doing the task 4. Fear of failure To make the most of your life (Eminem song) Tip: Procrastination itself will also hinder your ability to put your best Life is short Time is more worth than money (flushing your time on the toilet, scrolling tiktoks) What can you do? First , find the motivation
As a 12th Grader who's been procrastinating for 3 days straight, I think this video will be a game changer for me. Thank You for the video! Edit: Final exams starting from 11th March. Wish me luck 😊
death is definetly the worst fear I have in my mind specially dying without achieving something meaningful in life/ without achieving what I have planned. But I had almost forgot this because of comfort and lesuire I have. You made me have chills again just by saying death. Lets get on work A-team!!
i did this yesterday! I sat down for my chemistry worksheet, then realised geometry notes won't take long either, then i decided that world history isn't too hard and lastly i decided to get through a lot of my csp project and today i got a break day so tomorrow i can work on my extra curricular work❤
Wow thank you girl ❤️ I used to not be a procrastinator and actually be a straight A student, but ever since starting Sophomore year & getting my heart "broken", I just let my grades slip, to the point I was getting D's without even caring, right now I'm tackling all my missing work & practice work for tests & after watching this video this really pushed me to start. Hopefully by the end of 3rd quarter & 4th quarter of Sophomore year, I'll get back where I once was & work hard toward my goals❤️
Yo this is perfect, I've been hit by a solar wave of procrastination lately and it's mostly due to my final exams. This video tunes into my issues with self-confidence and validates my efforts by allowing me to persistently reap the benefits of exponential growth and break any mental jar lids that limit how high I can jump.
I used to be a really good student in high school and middle school, though I messed things up last year of high school (during COVID) BUT ended up in a med school. Now I'm still strugelling w studying in uni. Your videos reminded me how it was being at top of my class and REALLY helped me puting myself together and getting back on track! A BIG THANKS AMY!
Amyyyy, you read my mind gurl, I have been procrastinating and avoiding my works for two days now eventhou I have my finals in a month😢. Hope this helps me. Thank you❤ . Please post more videos 💗
Ah you got this! Just put in the effort to implement one tip at a time and really try to internalize why they work! Each video takes a ton of work so thanks for supporting!
thank you so much for the motivation ! I just spent the last week catching up on all the assignments of the semester I procrastinated, NEVER AGAIN 😭 I’m beyond exhausted
You're amazing 🥰.. 20 days new subscriber.. You're so relatable, and I am a fellow 8th grader right now. .. I am also a topper of my class .. and like i want to do better and get better grades and procrastination has taken over me alot and out finals are in february itself and watching your videos give me alot of motivation but i am studying a really kind of hard curriculum and has different ways like we don't have valedictorian and stuff but we do have an 80 mark exam and 2 semesters .. and then when you go to 11th you can choose between 3 things which are known as streams which you are most interested in and stuff.. I'm kind of tensing over the formulas in math honestly.. just trying to do better since last time I got at 70.5/80 need to get atleast above 75 and hoping to achieve from your motivation . I love you sooo sooo much You're a legend ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
@@HumanHuman. awwhh!! Sweetness is truly a magical word to describe this community 🥺! Thank you for your kind and beautiful words 🫶🏻.. literally made me even more excited to support her and wait for her blasting and lit videos ❤️
You're Indian right ? Bcs so am I ! I get 75+ in literally all subjects except maths. Im in grade 10 now btw. My finals are in March. And I really need to get better at math :( im very weak at it and always get around 50-60s in it which is devastating. No matter how much I try, I don't seem to get better at it. Do you have any tips for it ? Would be very grateful for it ^^
@HumanHuman. Hey ! Pls look at my comment under your reply (if that makes sense). Do you have any solution for it? No matter what, i don't seem to have the "math intuition" like others do. And most of the time I make silly mistakes in things like addition, subtraction bcs I'm tensed. And the worst thing is, bcs i excell in all subjects except maths, my maths tchr gets annoyed by me and doesn't even try to help me and get better at it
You are right about motivation. Another description is "push" vs "pull. Most moments of real change of habit, which is what we are really discussing here, require a push motivation first. And if you have a strong desire to fight against the old temptations, then you will will push yourself to the point where it begins to become a habit. Then you start begin to reap the positive rewards of eliminating that bad habit/s and it becomes "pull" motivation which is the lasting kind. You have to "want something bad enough" to push yourself first.
I have this presentation that I have to do tmr, and I’ve been absolutely dreading it. It’s a group project, but two of the girls in my group have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And they weren’t ’participating’ or whatever, so since Thursday I’ve been wanting to make sure I have notecards for every slide so that no matter what I end up presenting I know what I’ll say but I just haven’t done it and I’m afraid for my grade. Also im almost sure we’re being graded as a group. I’m totally going to procrastinate for a couple more hours but when I decide to stop this is gonna be so helpful
Amy, honestly i needed this video this time because i have my exams going on and trust me it's because of your study tips i have completed my syllabus earlier. Before discovering your videos I procastinated and didn't knew what to do after coming from school as i felt really exhausted.. but your tips helped me a lot. Please keep making such videos these are really helpful. Thank you soo much amy!Lots of love. ❤
Out of all the advice out there, i feel like this is the most realistic and useful one! The last part really it's equally accurate and scary, kind of like, negative motivation! Which, yes, i think it's also more effective, since for example, with positive you can simple grab the reward at the moment to keep procrastinating, but with the negative one... Thanks for this wonderful, video, Amy! Let's go, A-Team! Good luck with this new school year. Btw, one think that I think also helps with avoiding procrastination and actually studying, it's studying along a topic that you actually enjoy, like, learning something new or a skill, if you study along that with maybe math, you will look up to the time you study! Because you know you will enjoy doing the other thing, that is hopefully, something useful, not something like tiktok.
@@HumanHuman. You are welcome! And thanks to you, your comments are extremely helpful too. You are right. And yes, I did read them, just answered to them. All of your words are highly appreciated, thank you so much! Thanks, you. Peace be upon you, and our A-Team community. 😁
Hi Carolina, thanks as always for your thoughtful words! I can tell you're really internalizing my advice and you will surely go far :) Excellent point! I think students can try to make studying more fun which will be helpful too !
it’s finals week at my high school my depression has taken over this past month and i’ve done barely anything and i’ve thrown up many times because of anxiety and stress this week. Thank you for this.
Amy thank you so much for all your videos! This one is especially helpful since I procastinate a lot. I am a sophmore in highschool and I need to get rid of this habit sooner rather than later. I really appreciate all your tips and the workbook you made
The best Amy I've ever known, you're so smart, gorgeous, beautiful, kind. I hope you're so happy and I really appreciate you and the videos you make for us 😊💜
it’s 10:54 pm on the night of the due date and i’m not even halfway done and i’m currently procrastinating by watching a vid on how not to procrastinate lol update: the assignment only took 15-20 minutes to finish and it was way easier than i thought so i didn’t fail lmao still a procrastinator 👺
Amy, the rootcause of my procrastination has been my perfectionism. But this semester taught me I need to study however whenever and the girls don't need to be fast asleep, and I don't need a hot chocolate, or the perfect setting or incense or mood or anything I just need to get to work 😅 (while having fun with girls). Last night we all "studied" and it wasnt perfect at all but I got a lot of grammar "problems" done (arabic grammar is similar to math - lots of formulas). It was perfectly IMperfect. I was interrupted a 1000 times but I did it. I started to prep for my finals 3 weeks ahead. My motivation is very different and personal. I will share with the risk of getting judged lol. It is... afterlife. xo 🎉
@@HumanHuman. Wa alaykom Salam Blessings to you. Thank you for your words. I know not everyone believes in the afterlife but for me it's my only drive that doesn't run out of fuel. When I put my "afterlife glasses" on, the difficult seems easy, the hardwork seems rewarding-- and it is just so comforting knowing tthe knowledge we gain is being rewarded and not gone unnoticed. Do you know the hadith "The fish in the Sea, the birds in the Sky pray for the student of knowledge" It is my motivation lol I already speak Arabic but I'm learning it on an academic level (along with the rest of the Islamic sciences). When I had traveled to Tunisia, I knew arabic in my Levantine dialect, but i had a hard time understanding the tunisian dialect. Immersing myself for 3 yrs there had me speaking their dialect fluently. I can't think of a better way of learning a new lauguage than getting out of your comfort zone and stepping into your growth zone. Full immersion is just that!
I've been a bad student since past 3 weeks. Yes I did improve. I understood my mistakes and worked on it. And yes, things didn't go according to plan cuz new things suddenly came up! Amy could you make a video about how to not waste a holiday. Like a weekend? I alwyws tend to waste so much time on Sundays. Its sad and disappointing. I feel depressed rn. I didn't do enough. Tmr I have deadlines and I'll have to push through. I hope I could make it through. :) Lots of love
Hm, how are you wasting time? I have a nice vlog coming out next weekend showing how to have a *productive* weekend but not in the stereotypical way! Hope you watch it. 💕
that's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the week I am away from social media but every monday i open youtube to watch you and get motivated. (i do not know when you upload but on monday evenings after my weekly exams i am just grateful to learn from someone who went through what i am going through) thank you so much
Hey 👋☺️ So I have been following you for a bit of time now and I really wanted to thank you for this video. My semester is gonna start this Monday and I am hoping for the best 💖🙏
@5:00 i'm not as young as you anymore, but I find this statement "avoid it" can be applied in my working life, even retirement/getting old period. All of sudden, i got a lightning strike in my life when i heard that words. thank you for that tips.
Last hack is kinda like memento mori. You know. It gives you this sense of we will die one day so do the things that are important and makes you fulfilled and meaningful
I procrastinate cuz I don’t want to do my work, I get bored and I go on my phone, I realized that when I’m drawing as a procrastination or reading, I’m much more aware that I am wasting time, and that I have assignments due tomorrow, but when I’m on my phone, I just keep scrolling….scrolling………scrolling……………
the last one is what I follow but I phrase it something like this: "Live your life like you are gonna get hit by a bus tomorrow" (I love unhinged things)
summary: solution 1: the better rule: commit to doing one full task rather than setting arbitrary time limits. after completing it, reward yourself with something enjoyable. solution 2: say yes: set soft deadlines with consequences by making fun plans that require completing tasks earlier. this creates urgency and motivation. solution 3: leverage this: instead of being controlled by stress, use both positive and negative motivation. remind yourself of the stress and bad feelings associated with procrastination to motivate action. solution 4: hack your mind + what to fear instead, the ultimate weapon: boost self-esteem and confidence to reduce fear of failure. utilize the fear of death as a motivator to make the most of life's opportunities.
thank you so much lol i have been on my phone for around 6 hours a day and i really want to not be lazy so thanks for the tips i will try to do them or well not try i will do them :>
These sound like good tips, thanks :) I do think, at least for me, story time formats work better as they help me to actually retain the knowledge from the video. Like with this, I struggle to remember what I’ve just learnt and I’ll have to go back and make notes to stick up on my wall or something
Thanks so much for letting me know! I agree it's hard to remember tips sometimes but that's also why I recommend to rewatch videos and take notes as you said :) More story time to come!
i like your tips they are helpful in one of your vids you spoke about learning a new thing, am learning realistic drawing am proud of my self as i manageddrawing 2 realiistic drawings from not knowing to draw simple things to realistic art its satisfying am grateful for your tips
Peace be upon you. WELCOME to this amazing community here we call the A-Team and thank you for being a part of it! Feel free to give positive feedback on Amy's upcoming content too! Stay blessed.
Hi amy, can u pls make a video on how to learn step by step for interpretation based subjects, memory based subjects and subjects that require calculation? Like what are we supposed to do before school, right after coming, before the day ends, when to revise it.....? I will be going to grade 8 soon so it would be great if you could do make a video liks that soon❤
Peace be upon you. WELCOME to this amazing community here we call the A-Team and thank you for being a part of it! This video will be helpful to you for your whole life! Feel free to give positive feedback on Amy's upcoming content too. Stay blessed.
hey Amy. this was an awesome video per usual! i want to thank you for the Notion template that you shared in the video about using a planner/organizing some time ago. I duplicated and then customized it a few weeks now; the classes portion and daily habit tracker have been really helpful!
First time seeing your channel, right? I click on this video, you know, as a joke. Who could convince me to stop procrastinating. I am now currently working on an essay for a scholarship as we speak. What kind of magic are you performing. I shall sub only if you promise to continue performing it.
Wow that's crazyyyyyy!! Thanks so much for sharing. I've performed this magic in my other videos if you want to check them out! And I'll keep making magic if you sub 😁
I procrastinate by tricking myself into thinking I'm not. For example, I watch TH-cam videos on smart things like studying, books and science, and then I lie to myself saying I'm actually being productive because I'm "learning" and "thinking".
Even when I have assignments (that take a whole day to do) due in like 30 minutes, I still feel no urgency or no mood to do my work lol, kinda just gave up already
Hey!! I just want you to know that you have honestly made my life better, you changed my mindset on things and I have started to put my life first over the internet, thank you, and god bless you and your world 🫶❤️
Thank you for watching, Lilac. Do check out Amy's Math channel A+math for strategies & advice to ace Math: youtube.com/@thatmathlete?feature=share And if you have any questions related to academics, extracurricular, US college admissions, productivity advice etc., feel free to ask. Stay blessed.
Hi Amy! Hope you are doing well ❤
I totally agree with you about the 5-minute rule! I do or look through a few questions and suddenly feel motivated because they seem way easier than I thought! My motivation is how hard I see my friends and parents work, when they come home tired but still answer all my questions, why would I not do my homework, leading to poor qualifications and killing all my parents' hard work!? I love soft deadlines they make me finish stuff way earlier and contribute to a better sleep schedule!

self-care is very important because when you are more confident I find that when getting homework I think that since I'm already good at this topic it won't take that long right?
One of my biggest fears is FOMO but I find that using the YOLO mindset helps! YOLO doesn't only apply to having fun but also to getting top marks and studying hard!

Quick summary, thank you, wAmy
1. The one thing
I will just do one task and then do a pleasurable thing (e.g., walking, meditation, 10 push-ups)
2. Soft deadlines with consequences
Fun plans before the actual deadline
Sprinkle of discomfort
3. Positive and negative motivation mix
If I procrastinate, I feel stressed and not worthy (those feelings like a cue and the result of not doing something)
I hate that feeling I got before
If I lose, I will be beaten by myself
Make a visual reminder > fuel your inner drive to continue doing the task
4. Fear of failure
To make the most of your life (Eminem song)
Tip: Procrastination itself will also hinder your ability to put your best

update: the assignment only took 15-20 minutes to finish and it was way easier than i thought so i didn’t fail lmao
still a procrastinator 👺
Thanks amy!!! I will use this to finish homework now!
Amy, the rootcause of my procrastination has been my perfectionism. But this semester taught me I need to study however whenever and the girls don't need to be fast asleep, and I don't need a hot chocolate, or the perfect setting or incense or mood or anything I just need to get to work 😅 (while having fun with girls). Last night we all "studied" and it wasnt perfect at all but I got a lot of grammar "problems" done (arabic grammar is similar to math - lots of formulas). It was perfectly IMperfect. I was interrupted a 1000 times but I did it. I started to prep for my finals 3 weeks ahead.
My motivation is very different and personal. I will share with the risk of getting judged lol.
It is... afterlife.
xo 🎉

Wa alaykom Salam
Blessings to you. Thank you for your words. I know not everyone believes in the afterlife but for me it's my only drive that doesn't run out of fuel. When I put my "afterlife glasses" on, the difficult seems easy, the hardwork seems rewarding-- and it is just so comforting knowing tthe knowledge we gain is being rewarded and not gone unnoticed. Do you know the hadith "The fish in the Sea, the birds in the Sky pray for the student of knowledge" It is my motivation lol
I already speak Arabic but I'm learning it on an academic level (along with the rest of the Islamic sciences).
When I had traveled to Tunisia, I knew arabic in my Levantine dialect, but i had a hard time understanding the tunisian dialect. Immersing myself for 3 yrs there had me speaking their dialect fluently. I can't think of a better way of learning a new lauguage than getting out of your comfort zone and stepping into your growth zone. Full immersion is just that!
Woo, early squad!! Let's goo!!
Let's goooo
I've been a bad student since past 3 weeks. Yes I did improve. I understood my mistakes and worked on it. And yes, things didn't go according to plan cuz new things suddenly came up!
Amy could you make a video about how to not waste a holiday. Like a weekend? I alwyws tend to waste so much time on Sundays. Its sad and disappointing. I feel depressed rn. I didn't do enough. Tmr I have deadlines and I'll have to push through. I hope I could make it through. :) Lots of love
Hm, how are you wasting time? I have a nice vlog coming out next weekend showing how to have a *productive* weekend but not in the stereotypical way! Hope you watch it. 💕
that's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the week I am away from social media but every monday i open youtube to watch you and get motivated. (i do not know when you upload but on monday evenings after my weekly exams i am just grateful to learn from someone who went through what i am going through) thank you so much
I really need this !
Thanks for watching ! :)
Yayyyy amy ❤❤ halooooooooooo ❤❤

Thanks ❤❤❤
Wow you're so amazing! ❤❤❤

@@PoojaSharma-fj5ox HEY GIRL IDK IF I CAN REPLY TO UR MESSENGES UNDER THE HARVARD VID
Hey 👋☺️
So I have been following you for a bit of time now and I really wanted to thank you for this video.
My semester is gonna start this Monday and I am hoping for the best 💖🙏
Aw thank you for your support for so long 💜 wishing you good luck!! You’re gonna crush your semester 🔥
@5:00 i'm not as young as you anymore, but I find this statement "avoid it" can be applied in my working life, even retirement/getting old period. All of sudden, i got a lightning strike in my life when i heard that words. thank you for that tips.
Last hack is kinda like memento mori. You know. It gives you this sense of we will die one day so do the things that are important and makes you fulfilled and meaningful
Thank you for this video. This was a good no-nonsense video, it hit me hard but a genuine one, and I'm feeling more joyful about it now.
I'm so glad to hear that! I work so hard on each video for you all :)
That last tip hit me with all of my existential dread 💀
Thnks , it was a much needed video.
Love u ❤
Much ❤
Thank you so much Amy!! This was so helpful💜💜💜
Yay super happy to hear!! 💜💜💜
I liked the advice to do one question and feel motivated to do more instead of putting a 5 mins timer and waiting for it to finish😊💜
Thank YOU for watching 💜💜💜
I procrastinate cuz I don’t want to do my work, I get bored and I go on my phone, I realized that when I’m drawing as a procrastination or reading, I’m much more aware that I am wasting time, and that I have assignments due tomorrow, but when I’m on my phone, I just keep scrolling….scrolling………scrolling……………
It actually worked...😮
Hey really needed this, thank u sooo much, loveeeeee your content ❤❤
another banger vid 🔥
🔥🔥🔥
I love you poo poo
i'll save this video to watch later
You are literally always so right.and it makes me wanna do all of this you are my idol
the last one is what I follow but I phrase it something like this: "Live your life like you are gonna get hit by a bus tomorrow" (I love unhinged things)
Thanks so much Amy !! You are such a big help !!
It's a good approach and seems working for everyone.
I’ll watch this later.
Thank you so much amy 🌟
U r a star who shows me a path everyday 💖💐
Thank YOU! You're so sweet 💖
Sweet together slays the world 🌟
Woow🎉 I love the way u always come in times of need....thanks soooo much🧡
Thank youuuu 🧡
Firstly You looks so beautiful and the way you explain got me on I feel like you are my elder sister explaining me ❤❤
summary:
solution 1: the better rule: commit to doing one full task rather than setting arbitrary time limits. after completing it, reward yourself with something enjoyable.
solution 2: say yes: set soft deadlines with consequences by making fun plans that require completing tasks earlier. this creates urgency and motivation.
solution 3: leverage this: instead of being controlled by stress, use both positive and negative motivation. remind yourself of the stress and bad feelings associated with procrastination to motivate action.
solution 4: hack your mind + what to fear instead, the ultimate weapon: boost self-esteem and confidence to reduce fear of failure. utilize the fear of death as a motivator to make the most of life's opportunities.
thank you so much lol i have been on my phone for around 6 hours a day and i really want to not be lazy so thanks for the tips i will try to do them or well not try i will do them :>
Best and most realistic video ive seen till this date
These sound like good tips, thanks :) I do think, at least for me, story time formats work better as they help me to actually retain the knowledge from the video. Like with this, I struggle to remember what I’ve just learnt and I’ll have to go back and make notes to stick up on my wall or something
Thanks so much for letting me know! I agree it's hard to remember tips sometimes but that's also why I recommend to rewatch videos and take notes as you said :) More story time to come!
These tips really help, thanks Amy. But aren't we going to talk about that hair flip or the way she droppedher glasses onto her nose perfectly😮
i like your tips they are helpful in one of your vids you spoke about learning a new thing, am learning realistic drawing am proud of my self as i manageddrawing 2 realiistic drawings from not knowing to draw simple things to realistic art its satisfying am grateful for your tips

hey Amy. this was an awesome video per usual! i want to thank you for the Notion template that you shared in the video about using a planner/organizing some time ago. I duplicated and then customized it a few weeks now; the classes portion and daily habit tracker have been really helpful!
Wow fantastic to know! Thanks so much for telling me and for your support :)
❤❤❤ thank you ❤❤❤
Thank YOU for watching :)
4th ! 💙
First time seeing your channel, right? I click on this video, you know, as a joke. Who could convince me to stop procrastinating. I am now currently working on an essay for a scholarship as we speak. What kind of magic are you performing. I shall sub only if you promise to continue performing it.
Wow that's crazyyyyyy!! Thanks so much for sharing. I've performed this magic in my other videos if you want to check them out! And I'll keep making magic if you sub 😁
Love your vids
You are wonderful
I procrastinate by tricking myself into thinking I'm not. For example, I watch TH-cam videos on smart things like studying, books and science, and then I lie to myself saying I'm actually being productive because I'm "learning" and "thinking".
Can you say your skin care routine
By the way the video is very usefullll❤
I share my morning skincare routine in next weekend’s vlog ❤️❤️❤️
Even when I have assignments (that take a whole day to do) due in like 30 minutes, I still feel no urgency or no mood to do my work lol, kinda just gave up already
Now this is amazing!
I liked all of it, because most of it were things that I feel like I can actually.
Thanks, hope it helps!
This girl 💗📈
Actually I'm not procrastinating but i like u r so smart
