How to not write a paper

Hello Finals Week! I have not had a week with so little to do at all this semester and I'm loving it, but it's fairly pointless. I have one paper and 2 finals standing between me and a week of glorious summer break and I can't wait. I've been working on writing a paper for my honors class for the last few days and it hasn't been getting anywhere, so I think I'm a pretty good source for information on how to not write a paper if I do say so myself. Here are key steps to not writing a paper:

1. Get on Facebook. It's vital that you have a facebook tab open while writing a paper. It's a great distraction.
2. Get on Twitter. If you follow many people, you will have a pretty steady stream of tweets coming your way. It's a great way to learn new, important information and a great distraction.
3. Get together with friends that are writing the same paper. You will gain vital ideas and get little to nothing done.
4. Watch a movie. Movies are great ways to get distracted which is absolutely important when trying to write a paper.
5. Find something that's going on around campus and go. For example, today I went to the Acting Class' final performances. It was great! Being involved on campus is a big deal so this will definitely help out in the long-run and its free entertainment!
6. Go out to eat. Who needs to write a paper when you have Village Inn and pie? No one, that's who.
7. Have a jam session. Belting out songs terribly is way more fun than writing a paper.
8. If all else, fails, write a blog about how to not write a paper.
9. Final step: Freak out because your final paper is due tomorrow and if you don't get a B you won't get an A in the class.

Things I've learned this year

With only finals week left in this semester, I've decided to make a list of the things I think I've learned in this last year. Many life lessons were learned and you would think I would have had the common knowledge ahead of time to know this stuff. Apparently not.

1. In the city, the left lane isn't the fast lane when on a normal street. 

2. Don't let dishes pile up. They smell.

3. Do laundry before it gets excessive. 

4. Laundry is expensive. 

5. If you're going to buy food, actually eat it otherwise it will go bad and get gross.

6. Cool words like pedagogy, modality, and dropter. (...way more cool words I can't think of...)

7. The Big Bang Theory is the best show to ever grace us with it's presence on Television.

8. Starbucks comes straight from God himself.

9. Sometimes you have to talk to strangers. 

10. Twitter is the best way to get through those boring classes.

11. Professors say the strangest/funniest things.

    -Don't marry a compulsive gambler.

12. Don't text and walk down the stairs. It doesn't end well.

13. Be yourself.

14. Don't let change get stuck in your printer. It makes death noises.

15. Sometimes the only thing you need are your grandma's cookies. :)

16. Sparknotes can be your best friend at times and your worst friend at times.

17. I've read some really cool books that I loved and some that I abhorred. 

18. It is possible to miss your exit on the Interstate, even when you know exactly where you are going.

19. Sometimes you have to get creative with your lunch.

20. I can lose at Harry Potter Scene It...not even sure how that happened.

21. I have met some of the coolest people. Ever. 

22. Intelligent conversation is one of my new favorite things.

23. Chipotle is the best place ever.

24. I've learned many inappropriate sayings/terms that I didn't know before...

25. I've watched some of the weirdest movies of my life. 

26. I've watched too many movies to count.

27. I've discovered my passions and found what I'm really interested in.

28. As much as you don't want to go to class....you probably should.

29. It is possible to hate your favorite class.

30. I've learned that you have to just cherish every moment and make life fun. :)

End of the Semester

I seriously think that professors email each other and coordinate deadlines for assignments. That's the only way this could work so perfectly. How is it possible that all semester I have had very little homework, but when I do, each class assigns it for the same time. I would much rather have a steady supply of homework than have sudden bursts of assignments. Come on, professors! Get it together. I'm so confused as to how some of my classes are going to finish all of the assignments on the syllabus before the end of the semester because time-wise it's nearly impossible. I have 4 class periods left of Tuesday/Thursday classes and one of them still expects another lesson plan that we are supposed to teach or something like that? How does that work? I don't believe it does. I just don't see how my classes are even close to being done but they are. Last semester didn't seem so weird like this one does. Maybe it's because I'm staying here through May and June to take more classes...weird stuff.
