A Snapshot of Chaos

You decide to start writing your 20 page seminar paper due in two days, it is 7 PM

Every time you try to write the paper you work for exactly 5 minutes before deciding you obviously need a break for your hard work

So you try to binge watch a show on netflix

Only to realize you have watched all the shows on your to watch list (What? Don’t judge me)

So you start looking for other shows by looking up recommendations

You make a new list and start watching a new show

3 hours have passed and you realize you’ve only written one page of your 20 page seminar paper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So you write for 15 minutes this time, you feel very accomplished after 2 pages so you quit and take another break.

This time you realize that you need to find a house to live in after graduation

So you research every city and make a list of dream towns

You also decide to start house hunting, so you watch like 5 episodes of house hunters and the property brothers

By this point you have a pretty good idea about where you may want to live

But it’s also midnight and you only have three pages of your paper done

You go back to writing your paper, you work for maybe 30 minutes?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But take another break when you try to look something up really quickly on google

Now you decide to brush up your resume, it’s stressful and takes you an hour 

Actually you just added some research projects into your resume and messed with the formatting

After this you decide you should start looking for a job

But then you realize that you don’t know what you want to do yet 

So you take a personality/career test, and then start looking for jobs

By this point its 3 AM and you have to be up at 7 AM, so you call it quits. You’ve written three pages- Good Job!
