It is officially time to start writing final papers and doing final projects. Good Luck! 

1. Can this be a group effort?

You can lessen the load and/or blame them for the low grade.

2. and if it is….

Where is my group?

You check your Google Doc and you find nothing done but your part. 

3. I should have started earlier

You begin to feel regret and sadness, all in one. 

4. and if it is earlier…

I have enough time

I can watch another season on Netflix, or go out, or both. 

5. Whats the minimum I can do to still pass the class?

This is where you spend more time calculating your grade than actually getting work done. 

6. Maybe I can move up to a Burger King manager one day

Then maybe CEO? 

7. How important are my morals and ethics?

The next family reunion would be very awkward. 

8. I’ll take a nap

You set an alarm and everything so you must be good to go but… 

9. If you do take a nap…

How long was I out for?

What year is it now?

10. How can I space out my paper to get the full 5 pages?

Will my professor notice its a 12.5 font with a 2.5 spacing?

11. Does my professor accept BS work?

Will putting somewhere on the paper that this is all BS give me some extra points for honesty?
