Planet: 27-J-8A, PURPLE SECTOR (EARTH)

MISSION DETAIL: COUNCIL TO SEND TWO MISSIONARIES ON EXPLORATORY MISSION TO “EARTH” TO JUDGE READINESS FOR PLANET'S ADMISSION INTO STELLAR COUNCIL. EACH MISSIONARY TO BE DROPPED OFF IN RANDOM LOCATION AND EXTRACTED TEN [10] EARTH DAYS LATER.

End of Mission Report

We, Gackwob Backwad of planet Omgggggggg, Green Sector, and Bizbo Bizbi of planet Ahhhhh, Yellow Sector, formally submit our end-of-mission report to the Stellar Council. Thank you for using your Glorious Time to review this document.

Obviously, as you can tell by our individual reports, we had very different experiences of Planet Earth. This speaks to the disparities of the human species and, more broadly, the universe itself. Initial scans did not indicate such discrepancies; we were unprepared.

Our mission revealed both exceptional kindness and unimaginable horror: from selflessness to murder, humans were revealed to be a nonuniform, volatile species. We did not judge the character and merit of these two distinct populations as lesser or worse; we firmly believe that, given the correct situation and enough time, those at war could come to peace, and those at peace could go to war. They are the same people, only nurtured differently.

Thus, we believe that some point, all humans could become the compassionate people that I, Bizbo Bizbi, observed. This will take time. Given the primitive and indiscriminate nature of their weaponry, they may never make it. But we both see the potential in the human race. We see their capacity for emotional intelligence, which is a scarcity in this galaxy. Such empathy is sorely needed, and eventually, there will be a spot for them on the Stellar Council. But they have a lot of work to do before that.

We recommend returning in 1000 stellar years for reevaluation. An extermination squad should be sent in for the snakes, though. Thank you for reading, great Council-members, and thank you for your Glorious Time.

mistake

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.
