Well, school is back in full swing, and I can't help but confess that I'm back to being a complaining pro. Mostly my complaining has to do with all the reading I have every single day. However, I just had to write my first paper. So, I thought I would share some accurate depictions of what that process went like, especially since it has been quite awhile since the last time I had to write one. I'm betting you can relate to them, too. Anyway, let's take a look at some gifs that accurately show the stages of writing a paper.

1.

First, you sit down ready to work. Determined to get this paper done. You're finally going to stay on top of things and not wait until the last day to do it.

2.

You get the first few paragraphs completed and even congratulate yourself.

3.

To reward yourself with such achievement, you decide to allow yourself some social media time or Netflix time...

4.

But then when you get back to your paper an hour or so later, you realize you can't do it anymore. You realize you can't come up with any more words.

5.

Then it comes the time to get back to work. You sit down and stare at the screen again, then decide to just randomly press the keyboard over and over until you have five lines of gibberish.

6.

After you've sat there holding down the 'backspace' button and all your gibberish is deleted, you start finding random things around you to pick up and observe. Procrastination, boredom, or both?

7.

It finally comes to a point were you want to just throw your laptop, but you don't because then you'd break it.

8.

Which then leads you to get frustrated that you can't get your frustration out, so you do something along the lines of this.

9.

Inevitably, you realize you're not going to work on the paper. "Well, I'm done with you. It's time for Netflix."

10.

Then the day before the paper's due date comes and yells at you, which leaves you in this kind of emotion.

11.

At last, you understand you have no choice whatsoever but to write this paper. Say hello to caffeine and say good-bye to sleep for a while.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have an episode of Grey's Anatomy waiting for me...I mean, honestly, I have a paper about a book I didn't very much care for waiting to be written, but who am I kidding? That can wait.
