Big or small, throughout our college careers, everyone writes some kind of paper. It can be a page, three pages, up to 20 or 20, and for sure even more! We all go through our own process, whether we procrastinate, make an outline, forget about the existence of the paper, slowly write it, or write it just to get it done. It all depends on the class and whether or not we like the teacher or the subject. Whenever we finish it, though, we all feel relief as a giant weight is lifted off our shoulders. And then we hope that we don't have another one due next week.

When your professor tells you there is a paper due soon.

But then you forget it even existed until the day before it's due.

Having to do the research.

Having to make all the citations and bibliography page.

When you write the basic stuff like name, date, and title.

Then you decide to take a break.

And it turns into a five hour break.

Trying to get an extension from your professor.

Trying to write your introduction.

Trying to write the rest of your paper.

Trying to reach the word or page minimum.

Writing your conclusion and feeling so close to being done but so far.

If you're actually making good progress on your paper.

When you finally finish.

When you turn it in.

Each paper is the same, but they're all so different. I hope you get an A on that paper you just struggled to do!
