We’ve all been there, dreading a paper, having no clue where to start. Thinking of every possible thing you could do without writing it, while still feeling a little productive. Well, think no further. Here are 15 things you can do instead of writing it.

1. Clean your room.

That's one way to look at it, Anna.

2. Do your hair and makeup.

Try that new make-up tutorial or hairstyle -- at least you'll look good when you finally start your paper.

3. Reminisce and go through old pictures.

This is a great time blower... so many. #tbts

4. Put 743,289 things into your cart on Amazon.

Amazon has literally everything.

5. Google pictures of funny animals.

You won't be disappointed.

6. Do some squats.

Easy way to be productive in a way that doesn't involve writing!

7. Make memes using funny pictures of your friends.

Tip: Avoid quiet areas because you will be laughing obnoxiously.

8. Find a fire Spotify station.

There are so many stations out there. I promise you'll find the perfect one to study to.

9. Use the bee filter on Snapchat.

The voice change makes anything sound funny...

10. Watch a compilation of funny scenes from "The Office."

Or whatever your fav funny show is (but I highly suggest "The Office").

11. Creep on your own social media.

Look back five years into Facebook to see all the statuses that end in "txt it <3"

12. Get Starbucks.

Coffee makes anything and everything better in life.

13. Watch an episode of "Chopped" (or 4).

Get your creative juices flowin' to write that paper... aka Chopped is amazing.

14. Take a power nap.

15-20 minutes ideally... but let's be honest.

15. Accidentally fall asleep without starting your paper at all!

Well, at least you tried (kind of).

So your night probably won’t end with a well written paper, but you will have a slightly more toned butt, and know how to properly cook that weird fruit thing in the "Chopped" basket.

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.
