If A Piece Of Paper Was A Person, This Is What It Would Think About

And then I was thrown into the trash, and another 8.5 x 11 paper replaced me.

I got a tattoo. Finally, out of the house with a hundred of my brothers and sisters and as a signature of my newfound freedom, I got the words "My Summer Project" tattooed on me. It reminds me of my elementary school years. I also got a tattoo of a flower.

Next, I walked around until I found a plastic surgeon office. "Ma'am, I want to remove some fat around my belly area. And maybe my thighs too." I got kicked out of the plastic surgery office. She handed me instructions on how to diet and exercise. It's a shame because I wanted to get some plastic surgery. In order to have unique features, I spent three months running outside. I finally got some fine looking abs. During that time, I also got a haircut.

I took a blanket with me to the beach. I placed the blanket on the sand and laid down to suntan. It was so soothing that I fell asleep. When I awoke, I realized I was stuck to the blanket. From the corner of my eye, I saw the person who heaped a bunch of sand on my arm. I tore my arm from the sand and ran around him. I lost him, but instead of being sympathetic to my cause, the people around me started to laugh at me. They even stepped on me! Someone spilled coffee on me as well. I decided I had enough.

I took an airplane, but it crashed into the sea. I swam to the best of my ability, but I started to sink. I was soaked when the lifeguard pulled me out.

And then I was thrown into the trash, and another 8.5 x 11 paper replaced me.

Oh well. At least I had a good life. In my next life, I'll make sure not to go near the water.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.
