How to NOT Write a Paper

[xxxTatts]

Procrastibake.

[ninaaaRT]

Do all American universities require a certain number of pages rather than words? That's really interesting, I've never heard that before!

[AliciaMo12]

Watching this while not doing my essay that's due tomorrow. I must say you have some expert tips.

[xxGrey]

I'm four weeks behind on four of my subjects. This is good.

[Twihard101ish]

I should be writing a paper right now

[oddsplodge]

Most of my subjects at uni have a "2% off per working day" policy for lateness and as a result I have been known to start assignments two weeks after they were due :P I have a bit of a problem.

[dudewheresmydoctor]

I'm doing my paper right now thanks to you.

[ThisIsShar]

Skipped step 8. :P

[aimeelikescheese]

I haven't watched this video until today because I've been procrastinating... Last week, I didn't start a ten page paper until about 7 PM the night before it was due :b And now I'm putting off psych homework... Thanks, Hayley.

[wisemint]

I have a thousand word essay due tomorrow and instead of doing the essay I watching this video! woo!

[oppugnos]

It's 4am. Working on project. Delirious Hayley is relatable.

Also, I just burned my hand on a hot glue gun. It hurts. BUT I learned that 4am and heat are probably a bad idea.

[LoveInSeptember]

i absolutely love this video. it speaks to me.

[MarauderLily654]

(Even though I'm not in college, I'm sure you know about the college process, soooo...)

Do you have any tips for high school juniors about how they should find scholarships to apply for and such?

Thanks! :)

[spaykee1]

u've almost, rly ALMOST, motivated me to learn to my exams... but not enough... oO Kesha need me... :D

[anonymousdeity]

This is how I've done pretty much every piece of work ever.

[spazmtasticly]

I do all of those things. Except all the drunkenness, because I'm underaged. But the brownies and the music points are so true.

[SmileyFacesUnite]

Your face when you press 1 is hilarious :)

[KABLAMOHQ]

Any good study techniques? also how to get teachers to stop hating you? hehe :)

[alisonchp]

taking the SAT's? any tips on not freaking out?

[Kiranja]

How to not fall asleep during letures. i sure wuld need some tips on that.

[clairerobby1]

Decided to allow myself to watch this before starting on my paper which I have 4 hours to write, and in those 4 hours 1 will be on a bus and another 1 getting ready. O.o

[NickSDVecchio]

Another advice would be DON'T make YOUTUBE videos instead of writing your paper... That should help ;P

[rarerthanuranium]

this semester i'm taking some classes for breadth requirements that aren't super interesting to me, but are still quite mandatory if i'm going to graduate. any tips for how to get through classes outside your major?

[superdupermegazord1]

Where's step 8?

[thatonebrandonkid]

How to get to know new people in your dorm area or getting invited to events that include those people (i.e. the movies, bowling, etc.)

[sallyrhiannon]

fuck you hayley i came here to DISTRACT me from the fact that should really be studying for my exam tomorrow!!

P.S. yay youre my big sister :D

[darlacandygirl]

Oh the irony! I thought procrastination was the reason YouTube was invented.

[Missgnomer21]

You know that thing? that thing where I write my term paper? Yeah, I should probably do that thing instead of watching this for the third time.

[TangoMaureen07]

I have a paper due Friday. ... I should start.

[Eveningskyblue]

oh yeah... homework

[carbonxkiwi]

This was me so often it's ridiculous. My friends started calling me late the night before assignments were due because "they knew I'd be up" and I always got questions from classmates on my FB wall because they knew I'd be awake/willing to answer/ecstatic to put off my own paper-writing longer. IT WAS TOTALLY ALTRUISTIC PROCRASTINATION.

But how good does that nap feel when we finally get back from classes the next day and fall asleep with a book/laptop on our face? Oh it feels GOOD.

[4ever3011]

Your latest video in this new month will be

How to love your Self

[hdonkers]

*Ding* ha ha ha

That sounds like me when I was in University!

[gregorio92goyo]

yay im watching this as i realize im not gonna do my math homework EVER!!! so my solution is to drop that class... take that procrastination!

[nicciweasley]

Procrastinating right now... Dear self, get working on that DAMNED thesis!! (Doesn't work. Still procrastinating)

[toastburntbread]

this scares me into doing my algebra homework.

[Brittydragon]

I have trouble understanding textbooks when I go to read them. However I am really good at remembering lectures or things that I watch. Do you have any tips for learning what is in the reading in ways that make my brain remember instead of tune out?

[LymeeLizi]

I'm pretty sure we have the same mug.

[OwlMae]

Okay question: How do you deal with long distance relationships, especially when one is in highschool the other in college?

[Kindredness]

Is it weird that this is my favourite of Hayley's videos?

[DearestListener]

Oh my God, I swear I was watching myself in this video. I mean, I usually feel like youtubers are so comfortable in front of the camera and I feel like everything is fast paced and everything that may not seem to be exciting is, but I've made videos like this before. The late night talking to myself procrastination videos, and it was weird hearing the emptiness and feeling that tiredness hang over you and the realization of your delirium. I don't know, I thought it was cool.

[blablasuperstar]

... y we all so dumb...???

[kme06d]

When I was in college I had some friends who waited until the night before to write 10 page papers. To their credit though, they had their research done, they just had to write their papers, but still! I have no idea how they did it. Count me in as one of those that are done with college, but still watching these videos! You keep them entertaining!

[OkalRelsDaughter]

How do you study properly? I kinda slacked off in highschool and manged good grades without really learning any decent study systems. Now I am in college and would really like to know how I can study and accually absorb the information. Just reading the text book puts me to sleep. :)

[zomgzombiezz]

I honestly cannot procrastinate. I do everything about 3 weeks early. I watched this video simply so I WOULDN'T do my History Paper that isn't due until after March Break.. I frequently find myself FORCING myself to procrastinate, I'm a completely backwards uni student.

[nolaparis]

@zomgzombiezz Wow, that's a personality trait I'd like to have!

[veggiet2009]

6 week deadline for a video, I have 4 days left, I need brownies...

[PlotterPotter]

Aren't you procrastinating by just making this video? O.o

[veggiet2009]

@PlotterPotter I think that was her step 10

[EmiRedFaerie]

Could you give some advice on how to "effectively" revise, or just how to do the bare minimum and get the grade you want in an exam.

[ladysidi]

You just described me in highschool lol

[EmHeidi]

You should have made this last week, cause i have a 20min presentation to make for tomorrow and now i have 11 hours to do so... Might seem like a lot of time, but not when you have to read two books and compare them, im so screwed.....

[MsEmwee]

@EmHeidi ahh you can do it!! Let us know how it goes!

[EmHeidi]

@MsEmwee I almost knocked it out of the park! Haha, good thing my class liked my improv :P

[DreamerRealist]

But then there's the sense of pride when you get it in on time and end up with a 99...which then validates all of the procrastination you do after that...which is really not healthy at all.

[mabyeabitmad]

This was me when I received an email from my English teacher saying i had to hand my essay in by tomorrow at 11pm . It was already a week late. I hate how im so damn good at procrastination. Speaking of i have a bunch of late homeworks i should be doing. arrghh I hate history.

[chocolaterockz]

How did the paper do? Did you get it done in time?

[oogellyboogelly]

How to make writing essays and doing coursework (or the american equivalent whatever it is) fun!!!

[discogreat]

Okay then, I'll go write my essay... -_-

[LinaisYummy]

How about some advice on choosing high school courses? I'm a sophmore, and the indecision is killing me!

[krazgrlw8n4acure]

@LinaisYummy For me, I looked at the requirements of the colleges I want to go to or may go to. Some require World History and certain Math or Science courses. So that's a good place to start, then work around that and put in things you want to take or feel you need to take. :)

[uselessjay]

I really should be studying.

[Xnora123X]

Step 11: Use all your time watching youtube videos like this one..

[AllStar628]

I'm watching this at 4 in the morning after finishing a lab report... i feel the pain.

[yepilovecheese]

I seriously want to hang out with you.

[citygurl14]

Yeah so of course I would see this while trying to write the essay due in 5 1/2 hours that i've been "working on" for the past 7 hours... oops.

[TheNobleHelium]

"Step 3: Go make some brownies. You need brownies." GPOY

[Balboa515]

you need some Adderall, girl... all the cool kids are doing it... 6 pages in 60 minutes!

[ChelseaRangel]

My school is not a learning institution. It is an evil business. How do I make them stop trying to create a football team and get them to bring the band back. I am so over playing tuba solos. I need an ensemble.

[remedywithin]

How can I improve my writing when I feel everything is just shit, and I also run on with the same thought. Or something... Yeah! I can type like a MOFO, yet I seem to keep on typing and forget to just write a good strong sentence. I'm really just all over the place when I'm typing and it doesn't flow from one good sentence to another. HELP ME WITH THIS PLEASE SO I CAN TYPE WELL OR BETTER!!! PLEASE... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS WORDY. help me please!!!

[GAME658]

I have a 5 page paper due tomorrow, and I have to get up tomorrow at 6.....Before watching, I see the title of this and tell myself "5 bucks says I did/am doing everything Haley is about to tell me not to do," I won the bet.

[Gryffindor004]

As much as I enjoy delirious Hayley, you need to get some sleep!

[kevinandre91]

Delirious is spelled like delicious.

[purplejoj]

Do you have any tips for how to get ready in the mornig/afternoon when you've slept in late?

[melvf6]

I should be doing my freaking research paper right now.. but no.. I'm watching this.

[noblepond15]

How to avoid getting overwhelmed with the monotony of a small campus. Please.

[fruitikay]

Funny. I'm watching this at 11:30 at night and haven't started homework yet.

[FALLENxS0UL]

@fruitikay Aren't we all? ;)

[foreverjynxed]

I have been in your exact position and situation more times than I can count, Hayley. xD

Though, usually, I post crazed, sleep-deprived Facebook statuses and then continue a wonderful conversation with myself via the comments of those statuses.

... I need to read Oedipus Rex. I should stop writing this comment.

Seriously! Facebook.

It's to the point where my friends look forward to me having an essay due and/or NaNoWriMo due to my crazed (hilarious) status writing. xD Theyr'e legendary.

[SunnyGames788]

WOAH Im the 302 viewer?!? not the 301!!!! SHOCK!

[KnorkiestKnorks]

QUESTION: How do you write an A-worthy paper in an English class about a book?

... I'm a little stumped.

[wiffleclaw]

Delirious Hayley is hilarious Hayley.

[kikoblake1]

I'm still a senior, I consider these videos to be preparation for university. Productive procrastination! :D

[sharizzle09]

Im watching this while procrastinating a paper due tomorrow for my 8 am class. AND ITS ALMOST MIDNIGHT. Oh my gosh. What am I doing with my life?! Nights like these are the only reasons any of us are ever okay with college ending, cuz if it was all the great stuff all the time, leaving college would be impossible. But enough nights like this... and graduation looks pretty wonderful :) GAHHH

[OllieTheCello]

I didn't just finish my story for Less Than Three that I wrote the majority of in the past four hours. Nope. Didn't happen. And I reread through the story in its entirety before I submitted it, not just in the parts I was editing. Yep. Totally.

[viojoe11]

Oh-- oh God. Please help me. I have a paper due Wednesday and I haven't even read the prompt. Please think of me

[halfasiancaucasian01]

pretty sure you skipped step 8.

[TheWhatsitsface]

Question. How do you balance your time in college/university? You know, how do you find the happy medium between friends, academics, and possibly a job?

[LAshlieH]

I'm *not* writing a paper right now!! 

[Nathanjleblanc]

You say that learning cross-sticking and archery has no real-world application....until you get thrown into the Hunger Games.

[littlecookie369]

Why u so sessy in the morning?

[goingforthegold]

ugh papers suck

[pythonfan001]

Related videos: How to make a paper crossbow. I feel like that is exactly the opposite of what people watching this video need. *clicks on it*

[MaggieSerendipity]

The ironic thing is, I'm watching this while procrastinating before writing my English essay on 16th century music... *sigh*

[Missgnomer21]

QUESTION: How do I eat healthily and not-disgustingly on a very small budget?

[grumpyfroat]

she looks like shes wearing false teeth... in a good way

[XxXCookizXxX]

This is currently me right now!

[death2sequins]

Are you me?

[SiriuslyLoony7]

Thanks, Hayley. I'll get back to that music history paper now.

[Kuindersman]

I am so going to watch this everyday when I'm back in school (May)! This is exactly what I do every time -_-

[littlemoresonic]

How do you get motivated?

[amurderofcrowz]

[sweetsbeauty123]

I need poor college kids snack ideas. PLEASE HELP ME!! I'm hungry!

[NAME1SALEX]

How do you take notes?

[SpellboundSama]

You're my favorite, Hayley. I hope you got your paper done and that you aced it with little effort XD

[clairfully]

As a second semester high school senior.... how do I survive this bullshit until college? (please, please tell me it gets better in college)

[commenter2498]

So how DID the paper end up?

[PurpleIsAFavorite]

"Ke$ha needs you" best.line.ever.

[swimmer24100]

You have beautiful eyebrows. Also I'm jealous of your green eyes. I've always wanted green eyes, but mine are more blueish (I say they're green anyway).

[zero1343]

Yeah I may have a physics prelim in like 7 hours and havent done any revision lol

If I'm lucky I might get some sleep though ^_^"

[RachinaWimmer]

I bet almost every one watching this is watching it instead of doing their work.

[sparklinganderson]

@RachinaWimmer yep.

[SayuriMaiden]

I'm watching this video while procrastinating on my AP gov h.w.

Yeah, I'm in this situation right now, this weekend I decided to FINALLY do something with my family and go skiing but now I have like 5 projects/work things to do and since I'm going to the Tour de Nerdfighting tomorrow night I basically have to do them all today! Ok, I better go....

[animeotaku]

Any advice with how to keep up in an online class?

[FantasticBrina]

I'm still in high school, and my finals are this week.... So much studying, and I've left it all until the night before my test.... Agh I suck.

[himynameisnerd]

How do you deal with dorm room drama?

[SMK5885]

Paper due Monday. Wrote rough draft on Friday morning, got delirious, went to the Dial Up Tour, and have been floating on that awesomeness ever since. Even through the never-ending set-strike of a huge musical.

[beingbobina]

Not really really relevant at all (other than the fact that watching and commenting on this video is helping me procrastinate on a paper due tomorrow morning), but what is that nail polish color?

[05ALMA20]

Can you help with the application processes? I'm going to need to apply soon..well like September-ish?

[tss6295]

i love this!

could you talk about the college application process in your next video? since i'm a junior in high school and starting to look at colleges, i wanted to know how you felt about the process and what you did.

[monehish]

@tss6295 That would be awesome!

[hardworker424]

Here's a challenge: Eat as many free meals as possible in one month. There are so many clubs that have free food to those who attend. During National Engineers Week I was able to get 6 free meals. Mooching off of friends doesn't count.

[issymarcantonio]

I watched this video, while procrasinating. I still don't want to write my English paper.

[KaiGuent]

When I'm procrastinating hardcore, I take everything I need for the project and I go to Starbucks where there are fewer distractions. Seriously. I bring everything I need and ONLY the things I need.

[Nandito86]

What about tips for finding a place to live. It may be useful for some freshmen or even people who would like to move out from the college dorms. Something like: what you should always pay attention to? what you should always ask? etc, etc...

[Nandito86]

Hey! My question got picked! yay me! hahahahahaha.

[nellmenefeelibey]

I am going to watch this whenever I need a kick in the butt, cheers.

[mockingjayphoenix]

Currently procrastinating studying for my English exam that's tommorow morning. So clearly this video came just at the right time :)

[irissel2007]

You know what's funny? I'm currently rushing to finish my short story for Less Than Three before you close to submissions. I haven't had a deadline in a while. I'M NOT USED TO THIS!

[SweetMissBisou]

Creepy how you just described my life. I'm going to favorite the crap out of this video, put it everywhere so I can watch it in times like these. And then I'll remember the horrible feeling of the consequences of procrastination and hopefully get shit done.

[ihavecrabs56]

0:51 "chopsticks?" omg perfect xD

[shaupage94]

haha yeah that step 8 just isn't necessary

[Bellaful900]

good luck with the paper hayley :)

[LiterallyTheJoy]

This is me when I have a film or video project due the next morning.

[ooliviah]

Heh, watching this video was my procrastination from writing a paper that is due tomorrow .. Couldn't you have uploaded this video a few days earlier?

[AliciaMo12]

I can't stop watching the part where she gets confused by her fingers. Haha we've all been to that state of delirious.

[ButterFingers7924]

Do you know how to CONTROL ones dreams? o_O *creepytwitch*

[Rachelw]

This was me last night and today when I tried to print my essay in the library half an hour before my class none of the printers were working so I had to walk two building over and down into a basement office type thing where there was a huge line because everyone had the same problem. This is a reason right here to get essays done early so you dont have panicky problems when you try to print something last minute.

[LiverpoolLights]

how to sleep. like seriously, why me insomnia?

[ButterFingers7924]

How to manage time (time-management) well... (?) I need serious help, Hayley!

[Anseflans]

And here I am, with 4 pages of paper left to write, watching a video about procrastination. It's due tomorrow. Meh, I'll finish it in the morning.

[Swamoez0rs]

you skipped step 8!?

[Pixiestix123321]

Thanks for answering my life. :D (I have procrastinated the first draft of my research paper and a twenty page history outline about WW2).

[PrettyGreenGoat]

I've been doing cross-stitch since I was nine, and now you're telling me it doesn't have real-world application?

I'm offended.

(justkiddingIloveyou)

[allysuffyrox]

Please keep us updated on that paper! I want to know how well you did :)

[SmileAMF]

Well I have a paper to write, so guess I should get off YouTube now...

How to NOT do Your Homework: Watch this video.

[otakubabe555]

Well...I don't have papers to do, but currently I could be making up questions for a really short interview I have to do. Or doing prep work for my lab tomorrow. Or studying for my 80% must-pass exam on Wednesday. But nah, it can wait. (Kinda kidding...I'm gonna do the questions...soon.)

[kitkatzinix]

How do I revise (English word? For study) for a test when my roommates are making noise drumming and singing in the shower and talking on the phone/ in their sleep?

[otakubabe555]

@kitkatzinix You could put on music and stick in some headphones(without words, if words distract you), or you could go to the library to do your work. Or, if possible, ask them if they could be quieter so you can do your thing.

[freyaspins]

Awesome! Hope your paper was good. This is helpful for all thinge in live with a deadline, btw. Because those don't end with college.

[niftyfiftylives]

What expectations should I have about college? like, what is fact and what are just widely accepted rumors?

[Wolfinsheepsgarments]

I'm not even in college yet but this was awesome xD

[msdizzie6]

when you have so much revision, you can swim in the textbooks?

[cinerdy]

I think we all know exactly how you feel.

This will probably alienate a few male viewers, but how do you get yourself to work when you're PMSing/cramping/generally having a day of female bitchniess?

[liz987951]

@cinerdy Pamprin is my best friend.

[4ever3011]

like you

[IVlogBecauseICare]

Sunday morning? Do mornings even happen on Sundays? I never wake up before noon.

[tehcandeeofdoom]

You forgot one: Decide you want to submit to less than three and spend every waking moment revising your story instead of doing anything for school.

That and making brownies have added up to my entire weekend.

[emmartherandomer]

anyone else watchng this after 9pm whilst 'working?'

[oNautable]

Could you do a video on the first day of uni? I'm starting this year and I'm kinda nervous :S. (Yes, I know it's a bit early but :P)

[ringdingading]

I just love how people ask you for advice and you have the exact same problem and then you come up with some ideas but we all know that you are never following your own advice ;)

[stricken324]

bruhaha- I feel like you made this for me!! great video on how to NOT be successful lol!! :)
