If you are reading this, there's a good chance that you understand someone actually wrote this. As for this being specifically from The Odyssey at OWU you know that I am a student in college like you. So now that we've got that figured out, we all know that college is both the best and the worst. On one hand you get to hang out with all of your friends all the time, and on the other hand you have to do homework, so pros and cons.

So if you're like me, you like to have a very specific work space before you get going on any sort of homework, especially if it's going to take a while! So here's a list of ways to make a comfortable space for yourself to make sure you're productive.

1. Turn on the lights

I personally like to work in my room, but because it's a college room there are these terrible fluorescents, so my roommate and I have twinkle lights and we use those instead. It's not as hard on our eyes and it's prettier. So I understand that this sounds silly, but it's not -- it sets the mood.

2. Create a playlist

A good playlist is more important than anything else. How will you study without the perfect soundtrack to make sure that you're both productive, but also pumped?

3. Get food

You can't be hungry. You'll just be hangry (hungry+angry) and sad the whole time. Make sure that you get some good brain foods like fruit!

4. Make a list of your assignments

I personally rank mine first by when it's due, then which I think will take more work. So that way you can have something to look at and physically cross off.

5. Get all of your stuff together

You need to have your books and computer or how else will you do your homework?

6. Plug in your computer

If it dies you might lose everything! And honestly that would just make all of this terrible mess much worse.

7. Lay out all of your pens and highlighters

You know, so that everything is in your reach.

8. Clean your room

By now you've realized that your room is a mess and you need to clean it or it will drive you insane. That's okay, at least it's productive

9. Do you laundry

And now that your room is clean and all of your laundry is in your hamper, then it must be time to do laundry. That's productive too!

10. Check your email

You might have gotten one from your professor!

11. Check Facebook

Because by this point we both know that you're procrastinating and have been for a while now.
