15 Things To Do Instead Of Writing A Paper

We’ve all been there, dreading a paper, having no clue where to start. Thinking of every possible thing you could do without writing it, while still feeling a little productive. Well, think no further. Here are 15 things you can do instead of writing it.

1. Clean your room.

That's one way to look at it, Anna.

2. Do your hair and makeup.

Try that new make-up tutorial or hairstyle -- at least you'll look good when you finally start your paper.

3. Reminisce and go through old pictures.

This is a great time blower... so many. #tbts

4. Put 743,289 things into your cart on Amazon.

Amazon has literally everything.

5. Google pictures of funny animals.

You won't be disappointed.

6. Do some squats.

Easy way to be productive in a way that doesn't involve writing!

7. Make memes using funny pictures of your friends.

Tip: Avoid quiet areas because you will be laughing obnoxiously.

8. Find a fire Spotify station.

There are so many stations out there. I promise you'll find the perfect one to study to.

9. Use the bee filter on Snapchat.

The voice change makes anything sound funny...

10. Watch a compilation of funny scenes from "The Office."

Or whatever your fav funny show is (but I highly suggest "The Office").

11. Creep on your own social media.

Look back five years into Facebook to see all the statuses that end in "txt it <3"

12. Get Starbucks.

Coffee makes anything and everything better in life.

13. Watch an episode of "Chopped" (or 4).

Get your creative juices flowin' to write that paper... aka Chopped is amazing.

14. Take a power nap.

15-20 minutes ideally... but let's be honest.

15. Accidentally fall asleep without starting your paper at all!

Well, at least you tried (kind of).

So your night probably won’t end with a well written paper, but you will have a slightly more toned butt, and know how to properly cook that weird fruit thing in the "Chopped" basket.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
