1. You see all that has to be done and you keep telling yourself that it is totally manageable.

Yes there is a lot of work, but if you really focus and work hard you can get it all done.


2. Soon you realize that you may have underestimated the amount of work you have.

It will all get done... maybe...


3. You've been working for a bit and decide that you need a short break.

Okay so maybe your break lasted a little longer than planned.

4. Out of nowhere you suddenly become super focused and motivated.

WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK


5. Waking up for your morning classes seems impossible.

Late nights must be followed by lots and lots of coffee!


6. Sleep soon becomes an afterthought and is definitely your last priority.

Who cares about sleep when there is work to be done?


7. The lack of sleep and massive amounts of work are starting to catch up with you.

You can barely remember a day when you weren't exhausted or overwhelmed.


8. Your roommates understand that you are emotionally unstable.

This is what it would be like if a human could break.


9. Distractions and procrastination start to take over after a while.

Its cool if I rewrite the same ideas three different ways, right?


10. There comes a point when your brain is full and tired.

You can't read over another set of notes or finish another page of your paper without taking a three day long study break.


11. However, you slowly start to check things off your list.

YOU CAN DO IT!


12. Finally, it feels so free to be finished.

After you take a long nap it's time to party it up with all your friends!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
