How I'll Be A Best Seller Like Stephen King
dreadcentral.com

Everyone knows Stephen King, either for his horror stories or the terrifying movies that come from his horrifying creations. There are so many reasons why I aspire to be like Stephen King, though maybe not for the reasons that you think. I mean, sure it would be great to make all the money that he does and only need to write books to make a living, that would be amazing. But I really want to write horror like he does. I want to create worlds of fear that keeps readers up all night. It will probably keep me up as well writing it but it's a worthy sacrifice.

I also want to be known for all the weird things that I write about and why I write the way I do that most people don't know. There are several things that people don't know about Stephen King, like the fact that he's afraid of the number 13. Which is a little strange because of the fact that he writes horror but hey, I'm not judging. I also want to use things that people see every day and make it terrifying so they don't look at it the same way again. Take Ronald McDonald for instance. Everyone knows who he is, but did you know that he was the inspiration for Pennywise the clown in Stephen King's IT? Yeah, you'll never look at a Happy Meal the same way again.

The only thing I would never want to do is forget about writing books. Yes. Stephen King doesn't actually remember writing some of his books. It's due to all the drugs he was on back in the day. But thankfully he's sober and is able to write and remember everything that he writes about. I'll write like Stephen King skip the part when he was on drugs and hopefully be a best seller in no time. At least that's how I hope it happens.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
