Newspaper Tower

It took me a couple minutes to try and come up with a starting point for the assignment.  I ran many scenarios through my head and most were shot down by me thinking that the structure wouldn't be stable.  I came up with many ideas that would theoretically hold the weight, but always hit a wall with stability.  I started folding, knowing that if I pressed the paper together thick enough it could easily hold the weight, and planned to tackle the stability issue later as a formed shapes.  I wanted to make a 1x2 base out of the rectangular boxes I made after countless folds and pressing.  Eventually I found that I ran out of paper and time, and had to settle on stacking the 3 pieces I had on their side, rather than 4 pieces stacked upward
