Upperclassmen hate freshmen, freshmen hate high schoolers, high schoolers hate parents, parents hate upperclassmen.

It was people of all ages and races! I just indiscriminately despise tourists.
It's not like the trash cans were even shown in Animal House, sure I can stand people gawking at the Administration Building, a lot of filming happened there! But the trash cans, really?

A 5 page limit for a double-spaced essay is not enough to actually say anything you guys.

We had to interview a group of 5 people about how they were affected by the economic recession, and I feel like it would be so much more organized if we could use some nice little tables to group the questions and responses together succinctly (because the meat of it is supposed to be analysis of the data). And otherwise I feel like I asked good questions but maybe that is to my detriment because that means I need more space to explain the responses.
Ask your prof if you can put the Q/A tables in an appendix, which then wouldn't count toward the 5 page essay limit. Hell, it was usually required whenever I had a paper that was analyzing some unique gathered data.

It is pretty much too late to ask, I did not recognize I would start trending to overflow on my paper until this weekend.
A 5 page limit for a double-spaced essay is not enough to actually say anything you guys.
WHAT DO I WHITTLE AWAY???
1) How far above the limit are you?
2) How much can you slim down from the intro/conclusion?
3) How much of a dick is your professor?
Well I was trending to a minimum 8 pages . . . I have slimmed things down a lot so far, I think. I ended up just completely deleting some data points though because it is just too many questions/answers to fit into the limit.
One of the best classes I ever took was a upper level geography course.
The professor started out on day one asking that no one bring in laptops to class because it distracted him, and he was sure it probably distracted people in the class. Which I generally agree with. Laptops can be pretty distracting in a lecture hall.
But there was this dude in the class who argued with the professor for five solid minutes about how unfair and inconsiderate it was to make a rule like that. Then when it was clear the professor wasn't going to budge he made a big scene out of asking everyone for a piece of paper and a pen.

I didn't know about the nerds with fedoras then.
If I could afford it I'd be taking 16 hours because 12 is just not keeping me nearly busy enough.
Against any sort of better judgement I'm having a Magic Flight Launch Box shipped to my dorm. Better than my parent's house~
are they special garbage cans? do they have the school's logo or something?
we don't have block M trash cans here
we have an M on pretty much everything else though.

citations!
(do not do this!)
what's the essay on
however the air in ann arbor is so thick with hipsters you could cut it with a kitschy knife
depends on what you are doing though i suppose
how else would it be spaced
how many words is five pages? like two or three thousand? that's heaps
I really like Philosophy papers. They are very soothing to write.

Even if it runs long, you can always just explain that there was no way to cut down the paper without putting the key point of the paper at risk.
As long as you actually talk to them about it, most professors are actually really understandable about that sort of thing.
And I really want to do well because I want to transfer out after this year too.
If the biggest problem you have is that you're being overly verbose, you probably don't have much to worry about.
Then for next week, I have to write two 1500-word papers for separate classes, both of them on books I haven't really read yet... uuuuhhhhh....

Aww Yeah.
