A Step-by-Step Guide to Completing Your Assignment In Your Hostel

 1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well-lighted place. Make sure you have all the necessary stationary items/reference notes on the table, so you don't have to get up every five minutes to pick something up from the shelf. 

2. Read over the assignment topic and reference material carefully, to make sure you understand it. 

3. Walk down to Fresh N Honest and buy some coffee to help you concentrate.

4. Stop off at another floor on the way back and visit your classmate. If he/she hasn't started the assignment yet either, you can both walk to Shenoys and get grilled cheese sandwiches to help you concentrate. (Nobody wants to study with an empty stomach!!!)

5. When you get back to your room, sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well-lighted place. Again, make sure you have all the necessary stationary items/reference notes on the table.

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

7. You know, it's been long since you have texted your classmate back from school. You'd better text him/her now and get it out of the way so you can concentrate!

8. Go look at your teeth in the common bathroom mirror.

9. Switch to the 'Music' folder on your laptop and listen to that one favorite song of yours thrice and that's it-- I mean it! As soon as it's over, you are going to start that assignment  >:( 

 

10. Listen to it five more times.

11. Rearrange all the movies in your hard drive in alphabetical order.

12. Phone your friend on the other floor and ask if he/she's started writing yet. Exchange remarks about your teacher, the course, the university, and the world at large.

13. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well-lighted place. AGAIN, make sure you have all the necessary stationary items/reference notes on the table.

 

14. Read over the assignment topic again; roll the words across your tongue; savor its special flavor.

15. Go online and check the Wikipedia Episode Listings of your favorite TV show to check if the latest episode is out yet. If it is, download it from Torrents and watch it.

 NOTE: When you have an assignment due in less than 12 hours, any new episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' to 'How I Met Your Mother' to 'Bones' is truly worthwhile.

16. Phone your friend on the third floor to see if he/she has watched it. Discuss the finer points of the plot.

17. Go look at your tongue in the common bathroom mirror.

18. Look through your roommate's pictures from home. Ask who everyone is.

19. Sit down and do some serious thinking about your plans for the future.

20. When the clock reads 4 a.m., sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well-lighted place. Make sure you have all the necessary stationary items/reference notes on the table.

21. Read over the assignment topic one more time, just for the sake of it.

22. Write the assignment!!!

23. Complain to everyone that you didn't get any sleep because you had to write the assignment!!!
