We all know that feeling, the dreadful feeling of writing that paper. It can be a paper that is as simple as 250 words or as elaborate as 1,000 words and we all still feel exactly the same. Not only do we procrastinate even starting the paper, but once we start it the procrastination doesn’t stop there. We do anything and everything to avoid focusing on the paper. The garbage needs to go out, well you’re taking it out. Your room needs cleaning, well I guess it’s the perfect time to clean. Here are the mix of feelings that we all go through while writing those papers.

When you finally start the paper after putting it off for weeks

We’ve all been there, the paper was assigned months before the due date. But you didn’t start it until the hour before its due. Heck, that’s what I did with this article.

When you’ve written the title and you realize that it’s time for a break

That title took a lot of work to write, so now it’s time for that snack break

Break is over, so now back to work

You totally lost your train of thought, so now you’re just staring aimlessly at the screen.

And break time again

You wrote one more paragraph, so now it’s time to check social media.

When you just start writing random sentences

You’re over writing at this point and just start adding random things that somewhat apply to your topic.

You’re just a few words off for the word count, so you start to add filler words

The spell check is going crazy with the little blue line because “really good” is not proper grammar. But you need to get to that word count.

When you finally finish the paper

You have don’t even dare to proof read it because you know you can improve it. It’s done and written, so it goes straight to the submission box.

Wiring papers is just another part of college, but it’s a part that we can all relate to. From biology majors to finance majors, we all approach writing papers in the same way; the wrong way. But that’s the way it will also be, so happy writing guys.
