In doing this research paper I learned that I procrastinate more than I thought. This project seemed long and tedious to me and to be very honest I hated it. I thought it would be something I would have enjoy because it was more current work but because it was more pop culture current work it made it harder to find things in 'academic' sources.  My understanding of college-level research has changed dramatically; it’s a lot harder to do things that haven’t been deemed ‘real history’, a research paper is a lot different than other works. I am used to doing comparison essays and other types of essays but the research paper has more components and is a lot harder to create, especially for a procrastinator at my level. For the future students who take this class my biggest piece of advice: DO NOT procrastinate, the milestones ARE your friends. They make the paper a lot easier to complete by breaking it up and turning things in at different times and decrease the amount of stress. If I could do anything different I would keep up to date with the milestones and not slack off as much as I did.
