Depending on the type of major a student has in college or university, he or she has to write a thesis in their senior and/or graduate year. It is the most annoying and horrific thing to write. It’s dreadful and not fun. You know that moment where you stare at your blank screen with a slack-jawed expression? Yeah, multiply that by tenfold. Here is a list of things I’d rather do than write my thesis:
Clean my room.
Go out with friends.
Hang out with my little brother.
Drink.
Perform a Lobotomy.
Listen to the soundtrack of Hamilton, Moana, Wicked and Wicked- Hamilton is at least two and a half hours long.
Binge watch new Netflix shows.
Binge watch old Netflix shows-- I've watched The West Wing many, many times!
Schedule trips in advance.
Eat food.
Drink coffee.
Make a schedule of all the things I need to do in order to write my thesis.
Create a bullet journal.
Reorganize my closet.
Check out filters on Snapchat.
Check out Instagram and Facebook.
Read the news-- Can I just say "oy, vey?"
Text my friends-- Their lives are much better than writing a thesis any day!
Read a book.
Consider going back to school in order to defer my thesis.
Write an article for The Odyssey!
There ya have it, folks. Thesis writing will be the most awful thing you have to do. No thesis, no degree. No degree, no teaching. It’s a necessary evil but if you’re able to choose your topic, it is easier. Don’t get me wrong, my thesis is not a hard topic… it’s just the act of writing it, turning it in, and then being DONE with school that bothers me.
