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!

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
