11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write This Paper

I don't care if I had a month to do it, it still won't be done until the day it's due.

11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write This Paper

nocookie.net

It's the middle of the semester and midterm exams and papers are upon us. Honestly there's a million and four things I'd rather be doing than writing two midterm papers, studying for exams, the ridiculous amount of homework and all of the assigned reading. So, since I consider myself the queen of procrastination, here are my personal top 11 things I'd rather be doing than writing that paper.

1. Watch Halloween movies

At the rate I'm going, maybe I'll watch Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family in January.

2. Drink a lot of wine

It's hard to write that paper if I can't even speak straight, let alone spell correctly.

3. Catch up on some AHS

I could dangerously binge-watch this series morning 'til night and then nothing would ever get done, especially the damn paper.

4. Clean my room

Not exciting, but after that 6:30 am class, my bedroom becomes something equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle.

5. Bake anything sweet

I'll need a variety of homemade sweets to munch on while I'm watching American Horror Story.

6. Take a nap

Every serious college student has experienced sleep deprivation at least once during a semester.

7. Pet my dog

I miss my dog more than any human while I'm at school, but now I have to write this paper and I all want to do is pet my dog...for hours.

8. Clean up my Spotify playlists

Drake's new album is dropping soon, and I still don't have my favorites from Views in an organized playlist. If I'm lucky I'll have both of my favorite songs from both albums in a playlist when the following album drops.

9. Shop Online

Of course I attempt to write this stupid paper, but then I'm distracted, another tab magically opens on my browser and there I am skimming through the Apple website checking out the newest iPhone.

10. Bring back the 90's songs

Shout out to YouTube for the continuous play after each video. Because of that my life becomes devoted to 90's throwbacks for the next two hours.

11. Become Tipsy Bartender from Facebook

We all know the videos from Facebook and it's been about a year since my mom and I said we wanted to try making them. What paper? Cotton Candy cocktails for everyone who's in my household right now!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1007

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2497

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
