We've all been through this.

A College Student's Process Of Writing A Paper

Big or small, throughout our college careers, everyone writes some kind of paper. It can be a page, three pages, up to 20 or 20, and for sure even more! We all go through our own process, whether we procrastinate, make an outline, forget about the existence of the paper, slowly write it, or write it just to get it done. It all depends on the class and whether or not we like the teacher or the subject. Whenever we finish it, though, we all feel relief as a giant weight is lifted off our shoulders. And then we hope that we don't have another one due next week.

When your professor tells you there is a paper due soon.

But then you forget it even existed until the day before it's due.

Having to do the research.

Having to make all the citations and bibliography page.

When you write the basic stuff like name, date, and title.

Then you decide to take a break.

And it turns into a five hour break.

Trying to get an extension from your professor.

Trying to write your introduction.

Trying to write the rest of your paper.

Trying to reach the word or page minimum.

Writing your conclusion and feeling so close to being done but so far.

If you're actually making good progress on your paper.

When you finally finish.

When you turn it in.

Each paper is the same, but they're all so different. I hope you get an A on that paper you just struggled to do!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
