This semester has blessed me with paper after paper. It's the fourth week of school and I've already written 5 papers, which is more than some people do in a semester. Despite being a political science major, writing essays and research papers are not fun. I've gotten pretty good at it and I'm a really quick writer. Even though writing comes pretty easy to me, I still have to complain about it. These are my thoughts while writing papers.

1. Wait, how long does this have to be?

2. What am I even writing about?

3. This makes no sense.

4. What even is my thesis?

5. How many words/pages am I at now?

6. How can I make this longer without the professor thinking I'm just adding fluff to fit the page requirements?

7. Does this fancy adjective make me look intelligent or just pretentious?

8. Am I done yet?

9. I have no idea what I'm talking about but at least there's something on the page, right?

10. How much of my grade is this paper worth?

11. You know when you've been writing too long and you just forget how basic English grammar works.

12. I deserve a break.

13. Haha this paper is due in two days and I've barely started.

14. Okay time to attack this paper. I can do this.

15. Am I done? I think I'm done.

16. How on earth do you write a conclusion that's not boring?
