Because an essential ingredient to writing any thesis is procrastination, a new Tumblr is asking students to try and summarize their theses in one sentence. The crowdsourcing blog, LOL My Thesis, was created by Harvard University student Angela Frankel, who incidentally was building the site “as a means of procrastination from [her] own thesis.”

The end result of her unproductive efforts is a plethora of asinine, obvious, and, for the most part, hilarious abstract entries, some of which we’ve included below.
