Midterms are now behind me, but the work never ends. I am applying to the Psychology Honors Program and one of the requirements is a literature review paper that is at least 10 pages long.
When I first read this on the application, I thought to myself, "How hard could that be?" Well, past Gianna, it is VERY difficult. I'm taking a break from writing the paper to inform every one of the things in life that are more fun than writing a 20-page research paper. Here's what I'd rather do...
1. Go to Disney World
I'd rather go to Disney World to enjoy the child-like bliss of the magic Disney bestows upon us all. I am in desperate need of that care-free and whimsical atmosphere.
2. Go apple and pumpkin picking
My whole suite was trying to plan a trip to go apple and pumpkin picking together; however, it fell through because of our busy schedules. I would do anything to just dress in plaid, take basic fall photos, and post them on Instagram.
3. Plan my Halloween outfit
I still have no idea what I'm going to be for Halloween. Should I be something basic like a witch or a cat? Should I create a unique group costume with my friends? I haven't even had time to think this over.
4. Eat candy
I'm craving Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. And Butterfingers. And Heath Bars. And anything chocolate.
5. Facetime my family (especially my dog)
I always call my family, but I love to Facetime with them and (obviously) see their faces. I also LOVE to Facetime my dog since I can't talk to her on the phone. Her little face always brightens my stress-filled days.
6. Water my plants
I think that all of my plants are very dehydrated right now. I am a bad plant mother.
7. Vacuum the suite
I actually enjoy vacuuming and would love to just clean up the suite. Cleaning is better than writing research papers any day.
8. Spend more time with friends
All I've been doing lately is going to class, going to work, and doing homework. I'd also like to have my social life back, please and thank you.
9. Watch movies
Halloween movies are the best! I haven't watched one yet. "Hocus Pocus," "Halloweentown"... the options are limitless.
10. Sleep
A nice, long, 12-hour sleep would be ideal, but a nap will suffice. My body is craving sleep.
Please give me luck on finishing my research paper! Hopefully, you all can enjoy the things that I wish I was doing.
