I wish I could stop procrastinating this week... I have roughly 30 hours to write a 10 page research paper in addition to studying for an exam on Saturday morning. 

I really regret my life decisions during finals week. D:

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Winter TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the Broke and Bookish.

Once this week is over, I can finally get around to reading again. At least until the next semester starts. :P But yeah, hopefully I can read at least a third of this list by then. I have enough trouble trying to read anything on my Books I Want to Read This Month lists as it is. -__-"

Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR 

Ridiculously Photogenic Memes

In the midst of getting quotes for my research paper, I somehow ended up looking up images of the ridiculously photogenic guy meme before quickly discovering other ridiculously photogenic memes to my ever-growing amusement. 

Here's the ridiculously photogenic guy himself.

Like, I never knew there was a ridiculously photogenic convicts, lol.

Or a ridiculously photogenic football player.

Surprisingly enough, there's a ridiculously photogenic metalhead, too.

 There's also a ridiculously photogenic homeless guy.

Funnily enough, there's a ridiculously photogenic Jiu Jitsu guy, too.

Lastly, there's also a ridiculously photogenic Syrian soldier. XD

And I just found a pic of the ridiculously photogenic guy with grumpy cat! I love it when memes collide! :D

And now I need to go back to working on my research paper. ;__;

In which I use Supernatural gifs to motivate me to study

In one of my random scrolls through Tumblr, I found All the Supernatural Gifs, a blog dedicated to categorizing Supernatural reaction gifs. There's one tag called Study Motivation that I really loved. I'm totally using these gifs on myself when I want to procrastinate this week since it's finals week, lol. 

These are my favorites. :)

Hopefully these gifs will motivate you too. XD

But ughhhh... I really need to work on my research paper and a billion other things right now. DDDD:

what is sleep?

No really, what is sleep. I haven't had more than five hours of sleep every day this week since I've been so busy working on group projects, studying for a test, preparing for presentations, taking breaks to read fics, and regretting my life choices. 

I'm exhausted, and this is just the week before finals. Luckily, yesterday, one of my professors decided to cancel his final and have a pizza party instead. :D I was planning on cramming for his final all weekend, hoping to bring up my grade, but now I don't have to! I mean, I think I'll still have a B in his class even if I aced his final, so I really don't care about my grade in that class anymore so long as I don't get a C, so having a party instead of cramming is freaking awesome.

That gives me more time to work on my research paper that I should have started working on a month and a half ago. -__-" And I still need to really study for my Microecon final since I actually have a C in that class and work on my Social Media take-home final. D: But yeah, I think I can handle my finals better now that I have one less to worry about. c:

Also, because I've been on campus until eight or nine almost every night this week, I've barely had time to eat anything that I didn't get from the UC or a sandwich and snacks that I packed. As a result, I really miss eating vegetables. Actually, I really miss eating anything non-American right now, lol. I want some Asian food!

Anyway, I've spent the last two hours working on my Social Media final and am around halfway done, so I think I deserve a break to go home and eat something Asian and probably take a nap or watch Supernatural (I'm finally on season 9!). 

So yeah. I'm gonna try to catch up on sleep tonight and worry about everything else tomorrow after work. :P

Asian Grading Scale

Found this from this post on Tumblr, lol. 

A - Average

B - Below average

C - Can't have dinner

D - Don't come home

F - Find a new family

With all of the motivation and time I'm putting into studying and working on everything, I'm hoping to even get a B in half of my classes, especially Microecon. D:
