How to Write a Paper in College

I stole this idea, but I inserted my own personal opinons and steps. It's more true than you know. Really.

How to write a paper in college:


1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well lit place in front of your computer.

2. Log onto Facebook. Check your email.

3. Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it.

4. Walk down to Twenty Something and buy Reeces, Fruit Jammers, and Mountain Dew.

5. Check your email.

6. Call up a friend and ask if she wants to go to grab a coffee. Just to get settled down and ready to work.

7. When you get back to your room, sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well lit place.

8. Read over the assignment again to make absolutely certain you understand it.

9. Check your email.

10. You know, you haven't talked to that kid you met at camp since fourth grade? You'd better call him now and get it out of the way so you can concentrate.

11. Look at your teeth in the bathroom mirror.

14. Facebook chat with one of your friends about the future. (ie spring break plans).

15. Check your email.

16. Listen to your new music and get some more.

18. Walk to the store and buy a pack of gum. You've probably run out.

19. While you've got the gum you may as well buy a magazine and read it.
