We here at Pipe Dream have finals and papers like everyone else… which translates to, “We procrastinated and don’t have the time to write anything substantive.” In keeping with that theme, put off our other work and brainstormed a list of the things we do to out off the workd we have due. Tear this page out, put it on the fridge, and see how many of the items you can check off before you finally get down to that paper.
