I'm really worried about my grammar class though. It's not hard but i NEVER pay attention and it's like math in that if you don't practice you just suck

 

I feel pretty good about all my classes except for calc. I had calc in HS so I think what I did was I went in thinking that it was going to be easy which clearly wasn't the case. I gotta talk to my professor tomorrow to see what I need to get on the final to pass the class. I'm actually glad this final is worth 33% of my grade. Didn't think I would ever say that

 

I only have three semesters left. That's like not even a whole year of taking classes if I divided it by weeks. I can do this. Don't drop out. Don't drop out. Don't do it.

I have a paper due at noon tomorrow that I haven't started, and tests and papers due every day the rest of the week and I'm ready to collapse from the prospect of the hellish four days that await me

 

I fucking hate myself. How is it that I consistently fail to do my assignments on weekend and then live out a life of stress and anxiety during the week? And then every week I’m like, “ok this weekend will be the one” and then it’s not

 

pretty much same tbh

 

It’s so frustrating

 

So the last week has been busy and there’s still a lot to do before my last day on Friday but it’s all ended up being manageable and I feel good. What is happening to meee

 

I'm dying out here I have a paper to write tonight that I didn't know about til two hours ago and two finals tomorrow

 

I'm working on an annotated bibliography that's due in 4 hours. I've found sources, now I need to read them and write abstracts. blech.

 

Trying to answer the age old question should I go to bed early and wake up early to finish my assignment, or should I stay up late to finish it?

Right now, sleep is winning.

 

you will not wake up early. just power through

 

Once (if) I finish this god damn annotated bib, I have a good amount of other homework to do before the morning and all of me is going to want to sleep but I know for a fact I won't get up early.

 

I've been pretty good about getting up early and doing work but its already 11 and if my alarm goes off in 5 hrs, I'm turning it off without hesitation

 

i did that last night, went to sleep bc i was too tired to type anything coherent and woke up this morning. finished my paper on time, though i did turn it in six minutes late bc i forgot my works cited page

 

I have a presentation tomorrow morning that I should go to sleep for but I’m fucking people up in Smash instead

 

how goes tonight's paper?

 

Took me a full hour just to get the thesis down. This is going to be a great night.

 

Lol, I'm in a similar boat, buddy. I have a couple more hours to turn this in and there is no way that's happening. I'm with you in spirit haha

 

Damn, mine ain't due til 3:40 tomorrow, but I have to read it to my class, so I feel obligated to put more effort into it. It'd be one thing if my class had to read a shitty paper, but I actually have to read it, which I imagine would be the equivalent of eating my own shit.

 

fuckin lol’d

 

Fuck this, I just wasted another hour getting nowhere. I need some sleep to reset myself.

 

Same. I'm in "give up" mode

 

i have spent hours only to really just have my opening paragraph. i feel like in this subject, everything is so interpretive that i can't tell where the line is between bullshit and analyzation. i'm second guessing everything i come up with because im too tired to tell if it has substance. it's not a long paper but it feels like a lot. might just phone it in if i can bring myself to stop giving a fuck about it

 

One of the best pieces of advice I've heard is to just let yourself write garbage. We are our own worst critics so when we write, often we try to edit and write in the same time, leading to writers block. Just write straight trash, whatever comes to your mind, and then you can go back and edit.
