There seems to be no more scary a statement in my life than "the deadline is next week"
Well my tips to deal with this are simple.
1. Ignore the fact you have plenty of time to do this essay and concentrate on the fact that between now and the submission you have 3 hours of stuff planned in and you have no idea where you will find the time for it.
2. Plan to start at least 5 times but then spend an hour deciding on what to have on in the background on Netflix. Then watch the entire box set
3. Start writing essay making huge assumptions on what you think you know about the subject.
4. Look for quotes to back up your work and realise everything you have done is wrong.
5. Start again and rewrite ensuring you stick to the facts. Feel confident at your finished work.
6. Read assignment brief for the essay and realise both of your previous drafts are not even close to what you should be doing.
7. Edit and rewrite essay to crowbar it into brief. Realise this now makes no sense. Leave it alone for 36 hours.
8. Start again after watching Netflix before you start. Try to find last draft but realise you have lost your usb stick. Start from scratch
9. Write your essay read 10 time feel confident it makes sense.
10. Submit online and feel both smug and confident
11. Re-read essay and realise it is total nonsense. Cry until you see other people are not even started.
12. Go to the bar and belive charma will see you though
Stay safe, speak soon
