With finals upon us I thought I would share with everyone my process for writing final papers because if your finals week is going to be anything like mine then you're going to need all the help you can get.
The writing process is very important and is unique to every person, so here is what works for me. Ok maybe it doesn't really work but I haven't flunked out of college yet so I must be doing something right.

1. Denial.
When someone asks you how your paper is going deny everything. Paper? What paper? I've never heard of such a thing.
2. Procrastination
This is really important part of the creative process so its important not to skip this step. So find something to do that is more important than your paper.
Like this:
Or this:
Or whatever this is:
Just remember, everything is more important than writing your paper at this point.
3. Regret.
This is the moment where you realize that you actually have to write your paper and have now wasted three days doing literally anything else.
4. Sit down to write your paper.
The best way to do this is to completely isolate yourself from all distractions and people.
5. Mid-paper breakdown.
About half-way through your paper the full weight of your bad decisions will hit you and you'll realize that this is the worst paper you've ever written.
Just kidding. Throw that paper in the ocean typos and all.
6. Go home.
Go to sleep. Hope you didn't fail.
7. Weeks later, after you've healed from the trauma and moved on with your life you'll get your grade back and you probably didn't fail.
There you go, my full proof process for getting through all your final papers. Good luck!
