Empty Mind, Empty Paper My brain had been so spaced out, I was surprised it was still in my skull. The dark, gloomy clouds filled with water were ready to explode, which did not help my thought process whatsoever. The walls were as white as snow on freezing morning, which made this session so much more difficult than normal. Although everything around me was becoming extremely dull by the second, my favorite professional football team in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys, was about to play on national television in the second round of the playoffs.

With all those dull factors happening during that time, I was trying to write an essay for my English class. So as you might believe, I had trouble composing ideas to finish that paper by its due date. Now I do believe it would have been fair to say that it is definitely what I deserved for procrastinating. However, sometimes things happen, and it’s just impossible to take time out to sit down and write for an hour, or that’s at least what we students truly believe. On the contrary, it really doesn’t matter what we might think because the only thing counts at the end of the day is the final result.
