"Once Upon a Time In Hollywood" / Columbia Pictures

Awards season is wrapping up the only way Hollywood knows how — with the 92nd Academy Awards. The Oscars are the peak of success in the movie industry and this year's competition is as fierce as ever. Leo DeCaprio, Laura Dern, Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Al Pacino, and everyone who is anyone will be there while the rest of us watch the spectacle from our couches, judging outfits and acceptance speeches alike.

While pouring a glass (or two) of wine and popping the popcorn is a fully acceptable way to enjoy Oscars night, they take their dear sweet time to present those golden trophies. This show is a long one! Stretching your legs is necessary for your overall viewing experience. While you're at it, add in some squats, a couple of jumping jacks, and hey, a plank sounds like a great idea! You may not be accepting a prestigious award, but you can still feel like a superstar by the time they announce Best Picture.

1. They mention there's no host: 10 crunches

2. The camera pans to the fabulous Meryl Streep: 10 push-ups 

3. Someone thanks their parents: 5 jumping jacks 

4. Someone makes a joke about the POTUS: 5 squats 

5. Brad and Leo look particularly bro-y: 10 mountain climbers

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
