When I refer to a thesis, I am not talking about that small thesis made up of a few sentences you have to create for an essay. I'm talking about a real deal, year-long (or even longer) process of writing. Here are the stages of crafting a thesis!

Ideas, Ideas everywhere

What to write your thesis on? Will it make sense? How about a thesis on dogs? Cats? I don't know man.

Now comes the literature

Highlighting, note taking, dog-earing your books, and not to mention there's so much to read!

Paperwork

I have to get this signed by X teacher but also get it approved by the department, why can't one signature be enough?

Writing here I come

The writer's block is the worst. How do I even start this? Will it be a thesis worth reading?

Finished! Or at least I thought so

Honey, you thought. Now get ready for some nice editions.

So.much.editing

Everything is fine and dandy until you hear the words, "Have you thought looking into the library for some additional resources?"

Resource search

How can I incorporate all of this information for it to make sense?

Last stages

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT MY PAPER FOR WHAT IT IS I AM OVER IT

Fin!

Congratulations! You have finished your thesis before it finished you!

Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit.

Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
