Type Set

Everyone knows the struggle of trying to write an essay and how difficult it can be. So here are the stages of writing an essay, and who better to describe the situation than the fictional girl who got into Yale because of her mad writing skills!

Stage 1: Preparation.

This means getting all the snacks.

Stage 2: Writer's Block.

When you have absolutely no idea what to write about.

Stage 3: Coffee.

Coffee will help me, right?

Stage 4: Inspiration strikes.

OK, this may make an alright essay topic?

Stage 5: Research.

Thank God for Wikipedia!

Stage 6: Actual research.

The moment you realize you can't cite Wikipedia as a source...

Stage 7: More Coffee.

Coffee got me through the research phase, now I just have to write the outline, and the rough draft, and the actual paper...

Stage 8: Panic mode.

When you haven't even finished the outline yet and it's already 8 p.m.!!!!

Stage 9: Accepting Defeat.

This usually means giving up and telling yourself you don't need a college degree.

Stage 10: Thesis time.

When you have given up all hope for finishing the assignment, this is usually the time a thesis will pop in your head.

Stage 11: Power Mode.

Who knew I could type so fast?!

Stage 12: Editing.

I can just edit it tomorrow... Right?

Stage 13: Completion.

You celebrate all of your hard work with sleep. Precious, precious sleep.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
