Now that we're back into the school year, we're quickly approaching midterms. As an English major, my midterms and finals tend to consist mainly of essays. I decided to write about the stages I go through as I write my papers. So, here are the real stages of writing an essay as told by an English major.

1. Trying to understand what exactly the professor wants when they give you the prompt.


2. Then you get hit with the writer's block.


3. So you procrastinate as much as you can for as long as you can.


4. Then you realize it's time to get to work.


5. So you spend hours trying to craft the perfect essay.


6. And you reread the final draft.


7. So, you're finally ready to press "submit."


8. Now, all you can do now is wait with anticipation.

Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
