How to (not) write an essay....

It's that time of the semester again. The library is full of students having panic attacks. Much junk food is being consumed. You can never get hold of the book you need. And it's all because for many, essays are due. Ask any student, no matter how prepared you think you are, it's still one of the most stressful moments of the academic year.

 
 
So here are a few of the struggles I go through every single time I have to force myself to sit down and concentrate on writing an essay. It's never easy, and as a third year I should know so much better by now...
 
 
Leaving your essay to the last minute
 
 
Procrastinating to the max

 


Realising you have to psych yourself up to sit down and study
 
 
Skipping the plan stage completely
 
 
Having absolutely no idea what your essay is on
 
 
 
Throwing in fancy phrases just to sound intelligent
 
 
Having a little breakdown
 
 
Deciding to get drunk to cope
 
 
Not being anywhere near your word count
 
 
Finally finishing your essay and being all like..
 
 
 The struggle is so real.
 
Much love
