11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write This Paper

I don't care if I had a month to do it, it still won't be done until the day it's due.

11 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write This Paper
nocookie.net

It's the middle of the semester and midterm exams and papers are upon us. Honestly there's a million and four things I'd rather be doing than writing two midterm papers, studying for exams, the ridiculous amount of homework and all of the assigned reading. So, since I consider myself the queen of procrastination, here are my personal top 11 things I'd rather be doing than writing that paper.

1. Watch Halloween movies

At the rate I'm going, maybe I'll watch Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family in January.

2. Drink a lot of wine

It's hard to write that paper if I can't even speak straight, let alone spell correctly.

3. Catch up on some AHS

I could dangerously binge-watch this series morning 'til night and then nothing would ever get done, especially the damn paper.

4. Clean my room

Not exciting, but after that 6:30 am class, my bedroom becomes something equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle.

5. Bake anything sweet

I'll need a variety of homemade sweets to munch on while I'm watching American Horror Story.

6. Take a nap

Every serious college student has experienced sleep deprivation at least once during a semester.

7. Pet my dog

I miss my dog more than any human while I'm at school, but now I have to write this paper and I all want to do is pet my dog...for hours.

8. Clean up my Spotify playlists

Drake's new album is dropping soon, and I still don't have my favorites from Views in an organized playlist. If I'm lucky I'll have both of my favorite songs from both albums in a playlist when the following album drops.

9. Shop Online

Of course I attempt to write this stupid paper, but then I'm distracted, another tab magically opens on my browser and there I am skimming through the Apple website checking out the newest iPhone.

10. Bring back the 90's songs

Shout out to YouTube for the continuous play after each video. Because of that my life becomes devoted to 90's throwbacks for the next two hours.

11. Become Tipsy Bartender from Facebook

We all know the videos from Facebook and it's been about a year since my mom and I said we wanted to try making them. What paper? Cotton Candy cocktails for everyone who's in my household right now!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
