14 Things I Do Before Starting My Homework
Bruno Cervera

Before I do my homework I like to procrastinate -- a lot. In college, I have about 17 hours of homework every night, so before I get to it, I like to follow this routine. This routine usually lasts all night, until I just push my homework until tomorrow. It shakes life up a bit and makes it super exciting!

1. Drink all of the water.

I may drink a sip of water every 4 days, but there's no doubt that before I start my homework I become the queen of hydration. I consume all of the water in the house in hopes that during homework, all my organs will become energized and I'll magically be smarter.

2. Make a playlist.

I must make a playlist before I start anything. I need to have the most up-to-date and energy-driven playlist available. This is a careful process and much research is done before song selection.

3. Listen to the playlist.

I then go through the playlist about a hundred times, really getting to know and experience all of the songs. I look up the lyrics to "God's Plan," I live in the moods of Lana Del Rey, and then I perform a concert to my dogs.

4. Twitter.

I need to keep up with the latest memes, political arguments, and the local's lifestyles before I continue my work. Also, knowing if there is a new HD picture of Harry Styles will be beneficial before I start my homework.

5. Instagram.

I scroll aimlessly for a few minutes or a few hours, and then I decide that I want to make my life seem cooler. I then, begin to start a whole new Instagram theme and post an aesthetically pleasing picture to my story.

6. Snapchat.

After posting to my Instagram story, I obviously have to post something to my Snap story as well.

7. Facebook.

This is kind of my last resort of all my social media. On here, I'll further dive into the local culture.

8. Apply for internships.

Then, I decide to get my life together. I start, but never finish, all of the internship applications I've been thinking about.

9. iMessage.

Once I take a break from applications, preferably once they ask for a hefty personal statement, I'll finally go into my unread text messages that I haven't replied to in about six years.

10. Face masks.

I then must cleanse my life further by putting on a face mask.

11. Pet my dogs.

This is non-negotiable and must be done before I devote all of my brain power to homework.

12. Plan out my week.

To ease my stress about homework, I decide to map out my week and go into specifics on what I have to do every day to achieve optimal productiveness.

13. Plan out my life.

If I'm doing the whole week I might as well do my whole life. During this process, I go on Pinterest and plan my wedding rehearsal, my house that will be built in ten years, and my future children's holiday outfits.

14. YouTube.

After planning out my life, and deciding that everything will be a-oaky if I put my homework off until tomorrow, I get into bed with a cup of tea and a YouTube haul video and call it a night after a hard day's worth of work.

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.
