This semester has hit me like a train. We're barely through the first few weeks, and I'm already overwhelmed. I feel like I'm weeks behind where I should be. And to make matters worse, I have so many papers and projects due at the beginning of the semester. Assigning major projects at the beginning of the semester should be a crime, honestly. But alas, it is not, and the Procrastination Fairy has made her home sitting on my shoulder. That being said, here are 46 things I would rather be doing right now than writing this term paper:

1. Cleaning my room.

2. Organizing my sock drawer.

3. Organizing someone else's sock drawer.

4. Alphabetizing my kitchen cabinets.

5. Playing with my dogs.

6. Playing with my cat.

7. Playing with my cat *and* my dogs.

At the same time.

8. Playing with the stray cats in my neighborhood.

9. Kicking the skunk family out of my neighbor's yard.

10. Mowing the lawn.

11. Or really any yard work for that matter.

12. Buying inflated gas.

$2.79/gallon? I mean I guess it's better than writing...

13. Starting homework for other classes.

14. Planning next semester's schedule.

15. Planning my boyfriend's next semester schedule.

16. Planning literally anyone's schedule, actually.

I should be a guidance counselor.

17. Applying to Grad School.

Between the apps and my paper, I'm going to cry either way.

18. Reorganizing my sock drawer.

I just didn't get it right the first time, ok?

19. Going to Target with a budget.

Which is, like, impossible.

20. Going to Walmart...period.

Yikes.

21. Going to Disney.

22. ...In a Hurricane.

23. Running an unsuccessful Presidential campaign.

24. Running a successful Presidential campaign.

25. Having a conversation with Donald Trump.

26. Or literally any member of the Trump family, for that matter.

I mean, Barron seems pretty cool, right?

27. Color coding my planner.

28. Color coding my calendar.

29. Color coding my bathroom.

30. Writing an article.

31. Writing three more articles.

32. Writing my memoir.

Because I'm just so interesting.

33. Writing a book about that time I didn't want to write a paper.

New York Times Bestseller, here I come!

34. Learning how to cook a three-course meal.

35. Learning how to bake a pie.

From scratch.

36. Walking through a spider web first thing in the morning.

37. Walking from East Campus to West Campus.

38. ...In the snow.

39. Walking across the Quad in flip flops during a rain storm.

Or should I say, swimming*.

40. Or in the blistering heat, for that matter.

41. Eating chicken nuggets.

But let's be real, I'd rather eat chicken nuggets than do anything else.

42. Learning a language.

43. Reading every volume of Norton's Anthologies.

Because reading literal thousands of pages of literature is more appealing than writing this paper.

44. Taking a nap.

45. Or ten.

46. Planning out my next ten essays.

But I still won't touch the one that's due.
