Current Events > Need to write a 4 page essay in like two hours lmao

(+) Yeah! (+)

i'm fudged

Glad Im out of school.

---

Add some Naruto style filler.

I had to write a 7 page essay that's been haunting me all week. Glad I got that shit out of the way.

---

Just turn something in. Bullshit your conclusion by talking about how your topic relates to society in general. Maybe it turns out 5 pages of wall of text and you get an A.

I just can't wait to be done with this course. The other two aren't bad, this one's just a strain.

What did you write about?

The shitty part about this one is that it's basically an opinion piece where you just fortify your argument with facts and quotes but I just don't have a strong enough opinion on anything.

---

also use grammarly b4 u turn it in

---

Easy. I've done many 4-6 page essays within an hour of it being due. Also did a 10-page essay under 2 hours. I fucking slacked off so much in college lol.

Google, rephrase, rephrase, cite sources. Done.

Just copy and paste some stuff and then edit it into your own words. Then you just repeat the same ideas over and over again and keep rewording it.

I had to do an essay on Billy Collins for my creative writing class. I needed, like, 5-7 secondary sources on top of a bunch quotes and in-text citations from my primary source. It felt like an elephant was off my shoulder when I finished. I hope I get a good grade on it lol

post what you have. maybe we can put in filler

Man, I don't know if you've seen my previous topics (I ... only recently post topics like these for validation and emotional support lmao) but I am so fudging paranoid about getting tagged for plagiarism doing this.

I think that's my biggest problem now, I am paralyzed by this fear that even if I write something it will be tagged as "uncited" even if it's just knowledge I have already.

@Kitt Who the heck is Billy Collins?

Thanks for the offer :\ I actually I guess have enough once I write an intro and conclusion, I just need to go back and actually add my citations and try to make this read not like a totally choppy mess.

It's just the rough draft actually so I guess it doesn't have to be perfect but I want it to be better than my last essay's rough draft which was trash.

---

Who the heck is Billy Collins?

He's a renowned poet and one of his poems was what lead to me choosing to do a paper on him.

---

post it anyway, maybe you made mistakes we can catch

---

Lol I'm not going to post it, I am embarrassed and ashamed at this. It's ugly. I just need to turn something in to get the points on the draft at least... that's what I wound up doing on my last one, I cranked out something awful (not proud of that) and then the peer review slammed me on it and I cleaned it up a lot and got a decent score.

---

Im the master of last minute essays

---

Man, don't even worry about it. I guarantee you, your classmates are submitting essays just as bad if not worse.

I was a TA in my senior year and graded essays for students in their 2nd and 3rd year, it would surprise you to know the amount of essays that were submitted were written at a high school level.

I've got some fierce competition in this class though, ngl. I've seen how other people write, I'm probably middle of the road.

Also this is legit... sloppy as shit, it's just "statement -> point -> counterpoint -> conclusion" repeated a dozen times.

---

also i'm dumb and there's like two spots where I tried to quote information from two different sources and that seems ... not right for this type of paper. idk.

---

eh maybe this isn't the worst thing. we'll see I guess. The feedback I got last time from my two peers was actually pretty good.

---

How long have you had to do it?

---

uh
like a week or two.

been dealing with dumb shit on the homefront plus work for other classes though. this week is miserable also I'm never taking compressed schedule courses again.

---

19 minutes, need a conclusion i hate everything.

---

Wait it's...

due ...

*tuesday*

goddamnit. Well at least it's done.

---

Would be so fun to do for me. I love it.

---

I've done a couple so far that were kinda last minute and I enjoyed it but that's because I liked the topic. This just feels kind of trite. I don't really know if I'm making a point or just throwing information out there, it's not too engaging. We'll see what the peer feedback says.

---

Aw, you should have posted it so we could help you get a better grade. Oh well. Good luck.

---

lmao I am not posting this. I am always excessively paranoid that someone will recognize it somehow and associate that with me. Also it's not that great, also it's just a draft so I'll have time to fix it up.

I appreciate the offer to help though that is very nice

---

doing the peer reviews.

The one has good info in it but I feel like the author's main argument is different than what they wrote to, and the other makes me want to cry because it reads like a professional article that puts my essay to shame.

---

huh
surprisingly got really good feedback so I might not have to do too much to it for the final version I think.

---

wow I at least tied for highest grade in the class (if not highest). One more to go for this course. This is the first term where I am not pulling 100% in all my classes and it is making me nervous lol
