10 Thoughts On The Final College Paper
Uleth.com

With weeks winding down and projects piling up faster than we can comprehend them, it is very easy to throw away the importance of the final term paper that is due just days before taking the final walk across the graduation stage. So here are ten reasons why the final paper is the paper to end all papers.

1) It is the final paper EVER: In the back of your mind, you realize that after completing this paper, the final couple days of school will be so chill, you will feel like that hot pocket from last year in the back of your freezer.

2) You do not care about the topic: You could be writing about anything on earth, whether you love it or hate it, you could care less about the topic assigned. It is the final paper and that's all you care about.

3) Research is nonexistent: You have done dozens of research papers over your four years, yet this last paper seems to require much more of your effort. Walking all fifty yards to the library is such a burden that it does not seem worth the hassle.

4)Everything else seems more interesting: Clean my dorm room? Sure. Go grocery shopping? Why not, anything to get me away from my laptop.

5) Your friends' schedules seem so much easier: You see your friends going out at night, laughing and carrying on, when in your heart of hearts, you realize they are doing exactly what you are doing, waiting until the final seconds to hit submit.

6) You seem to forget every detail about having to write a paper: Even though your professor believes you are an expert at writing, you throw your cumulative knowledge away and stare blankly at the screen...for days.

7) YouTube is more interesting than you remembered: Need I say more?

8) Netflix is life: Enough said...


9) You tell all of your friends how much work you have, but in reality, it's just a measly, ten page paper: Because of this paper, all other homework seems pointless, and you make sure to let your friends know how hard of a life you have.


10) When it's over, you laugh maniacally and pass out: The final citation is typed out and the paper is emailed to your professor, ten seconds before the due date. You close your laptop with bloodshot eyes, blast heavy metal, and get hype over the fact that you will never have anything like that for the rest of your days. Go summer!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
