ruby-white-rabbit: freddieandersen: inkskinned: HOW TO WRITE 20 PAGES (from one girl w/mental illness 2 the rest of u, but please keep in mind all of this is just personal Stuff That Worked for me n u might be different): first of all, and probably most importantly, make that paper about something you actually give a shit about. if you can write an essay on how long shakespeareโ€™s dick is when youโ€™re talking to your friends, thatโ€™s a good topic. donโ€™t choose something u donโ€™t care about, you will Want To Die โ€œokay but the only topics are ones i donโ€™t care aboutโ€ talk 2 ur teacher 99% of the time if youโ€™re likeย โ€œhereโ€™s a well-thought-out thesis can i talk about this insteadโ€ theyโ€™re likeย โ€œsure lmao i just couldnโ€™t think of other paper topics to suggestโ€ โ€œthey said noโ€ cool find the one u hate the least and try to tie it into something u like. for example i really hated this stupid paper i had to write about a stupid book so i ended up writing about the food insideย the book and whether or not it was a historically accurate depiction of food. turns out i fucking love talking about food. i also remade some of the old recipes and brought them in as part of the presentation of my project and people went fuckken nuts bc BREAD. basically i thought aboutย โ€œwhat motivates me? uh foodโ€ and followed that. it was a 45-page book about bread and i looked like a really good student when really i just love bread (somewhere, oprah smiles over me) the 20-pagers are the ones you Actually Cannot Do the night before. i know we all got real fuckken cocky back in hs when we learned how to do 5 pages in one night w/out trying too hard but 1. as a teacher now i can tell u for sure that teachersย do knowย you rushed it, we just Donโ€™t Care bc Weโ€™re Not Paid Enough and 2. twenty pages is not the same thing. you need to actuallyย take the time to do it. this is the actualย version ofย โ€œyouโ€™re not in hs anymoreโ€ DONT lie to yourself and thinkย โ€œitโ€™s fine iโ€™ll do it in one dayโ€ you will !! Regret it!!!!ย  โ€œraquel. raquel. listen to me. do you actually believe iโ€™m capable of time management. raquel i have depression i barely manage to exist.โ€ same. but the truth is that when i started like?? actuallyย following the rules of timelines and taking my time etc it actually really helps mental illness. you donโ€™t feel pressured all the time by a deadline, so your anxiety chills a little bit. small progress being acceptable means that on depression days, you donโ€™t have to worry youโ€™re fucking it all up. when itโ€™s 15 minutes every day (even if itโ€™s only 1 word a day) it feels a lot better. ask the teacher what timeline theyโ€™d recommend. they actually Know. alwaysย ask if itโ€™s informal or formal (if you can useย โ€œIโ€ statements or not). informal essays can rely on personal feelings and are soย much easier and trust me if you find out on the day itโ€™s due that you could have written 12 pages about your feelings instead of 12 pages of research, you will Be Very Upset i lie to myself all the time and move the deadline up. i write it in my agenda as at least 2 days before itโ€™s due. surprise!!! i tricked u, self!!! you canโ€™t procrastinate!!ย  agendas/planners need to be what actually worksย for you. i liked to prioritize w/colors + keep lists. i really love crossing things offย lists. itโ€™s likeโ€ฆ a balm. for me, i usually say i have to finish the first 2 things, start the 3rd thing, andย โ€œtouchโ€ at least half the list. if i finish the whole list i get a prize. also i get to cross off everything which is so satisfying iโ€™m sure itโ€™s someoneโ€™s idea of a rush. thereโ€™s so manyย โ€œhow toโ€ documents on these that i wonโ€™t get into it but frankly?? if you donโ€™t write it down you will not remember it.ย โ€œyes i willโ€ no you wonโ€™t greg. just do it. write it down. write it where u can see it. not there, greg. greg, somewhere good.ย my friend is smart af and uses a post-it on her laptop. that doesnโ€™t work for me bc i can just? use my hand to cover the anxiety? so choose somewhere good greg. nervous system, skeleton, meat, skin. nervous system is the thesis. skeleton is quotes/data. meat is the analysis of that data. skin is the fancy transitions + beautification. ย meat goes on both sides of bone, and skin goes all around. nervous system has to touch everything. do what your teachers have been begging u to do since 3rd grade and start w/an outline. do this whileย you read/research. i usually have a starter thesis likeย โ€œlady macbeth is a feminist ICONโ€ then take the quotes i think fit. but if while youโ€™re reading u realize u wanna talk about the use of feminine language and how shakespeare parallels daintiness w/sharpness, u still have a bunch of quotes you can use or not use. this works also w/research papers. just pull what u think is something u wanna talk about. copy-paste it but leave a link to where u got it. then put a bullet point under that says roughly why u mention it if you just write the outline like youโ€™re keeping notes to yourself youโ€™d be amazed how quickly you write the essay bc we get stuck in academic language but itโ€™s easier to translateย โ€œthis is why bees are the #bombโ€ into a paragraph. i mean you just rewrite your notes to yourself in academic speech.ย โ€œThe above passage illustrates the growing necessity of pollinators such as bees in an agricultural environment.โ€ keep track of your sources + label them. donโ€™t just writeย โ€œ(SOURCE)โ€ instead if youโ€™re using multiple sources use the lazygirl way which is (SA1) or whatever shorthand u have for each source. then when you need to finish your sources you go to your little source document, find the one labelled SA1 and thenย โ€œFind+replaceโ€ w/the actual source. integrate quotes so it reads w/clarity which means donโ€™t do thisย but if youโ€™re running late on it and donโ€™t have time to look up the quote u want to fit this situation, technically you canย โ€œuse anyโ€ word you want (56). so yeahย โ€œthere isโ€ a moral question about it but youย โ€œcanโ€ make up quotes (79, 90). donโ€™tย โ€œactuallyโ€ do this unless youโ€™re seriously in a crunch. which u shouldnโ€™t be, bc u managed ur time, right? running late part 2 (which again would never happen bc you followed my advice and made a little time table for yourself but anyway if it does somehow magically happen) i really recommend using school computers to do your work. ur surrounded by people who will hold u accountable + u will focus running late pt3 on the day of it being due, around 5 PM, be honest w/yourself and see where you are. if youโ€™re likeย โ€œit needs 2 more hoursโ€ okay. but if youโ€™re likeย โ€œthis isโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ not startedโ€ email the teacher.ย theyโ€™ll be soย much more receptive the earlierย you do this in the process. it looks likeย โ€œiโ€™m genuinely struggling and i hope to finish this on time but iโ€™m worried i wonโ€™tโ€ instead ofย โ€œi started this at 11:58PM and am asking for an extensionโ€. please also justโ€ฆ be honest?ย  โ€œmy teacher wonโ€™t accept late work!โ€ they all say that, he probably will, particularly if you have a note from the school therapist being likeย โ€œlmao sheโ€™s got so many mental illnesses idek how to help herโ€ โ€œno he really doesnโ€™t, he doesnโ€™t careโ€ you can file for disability if you have mental illness, and, in fact, you shouldย if itโ€™s something that often stops you from completing work on time. i didnโ€™t bc i found that it just let me procrastinate for a longer time, but having that on file means you can go to the dean. โ€œno!!! raquel youโ€™re not listening i have 2 pages and he doesnโ€™t take late work!!!!!!!!!โ€ ย okay. yeah thatโ€™s bad. but nerves, skeleton, meat, skin. what is it that youโ€™re struggling with? is it that your canโ€™t find any quotes to back up your thesis? impossible, tbh, you need to be more willing to purposefully misuse quotes (donโ€™t do that). but the better option is to just change the thesis.ย  โ€œi donโ€™t even have that!!โ€ did you. do the reading? if you even just watched the movie, you probably have an opinion on somethingย even if itโ€™sย โ€œthis is bad.โ€ you can use that.ย use why you didnโ€™t like it to write a hate-fueled examination on how whiny the main character is and why u think the author is trying to point out how miserable cis white boys are to deal with.ย  โ€œi donโ€™t have enough sources!!!โ€ go to wikipediaโ€™s page about it and look @ the sources. try to like actually read some if you have time but frankly in a hurry a student (me) might be compelled to just slap the source in there.ย  โ€œhow the fuckย do i analyze thisโ€. u know how ppl agonize over why an actor breathed in a scene. melt into that kind of thinking. you can literally force the words to mean whatever you want.ย iโ€™ve talked about word choice so specific that i based a 12-page essay on three separate uses of the words โ€œmy dearโ€. i talked about the possessiveย โ€œmyโ€ and how it developed for like 5 of those pages. and always repeat the thesis like a million times. after every analysis you should talk about how it links to the thesis. that is like a free 3 sentences every paragraph. โ€œi did all that and itโ€™s still 3 pages too shortโ€ quick ways to Beef Him Up: definitions are great in research papers + essays bc you can talk about either word choice or like the definition of every process used in getting the data. also make the conclusion hella informative (it should answerย โ€œwhat does this mean moving forwardsโ€ most of the time, tie it into modern life or into the past). thicken ur intro withย โ€œhereโ€™s a quote from this guy about it and what he personally felt about acid-base titrationsโ€, use a paragraph to talk about the history of the data/book, use a paragraph to talk about the modern reception of the data/book. also look for where you can use two words instead of one even tho like grammatically donโ€™t do that. worst comes to worst, brevity is the soul of wit. most teachers prefer concise over rambling and all over the place. if you choose to scoot under the page limit, tho, your writing etc needs to be exceptionallyย clean. frankly iโ€™ve only done this once and it was terrifying make computer read it aloud 2 u before u submit.ย โ€œraquelโ€ฆ.. i canโ€™t look at it anymoreโ€. youโ€™re not looking @ it, youโ€™re discovering you wroteย โ€œbreathโ€ notย โ€œbreatheโ€ and u need to change it tutoring centers exist, i worked in one, and this is how i know they actually Help and have Good Ideas ask about extra credit and do it tbh good luckโ€ฆ. breathe. and remember u are astronomically more important than a grade could ever be. do you have trouble writing words on paper but you know what you want to say? because thatโ€™s my personal form of useless perfectionism. like, you can tell your friend all about what youโ€™re planning on writing, and talk about it for like 20 minutes straight? make notes for imaginary slides for an imaginary presentation on the topic oops you have an outline now! your imaginary slides? paragraphs (or if ur paper is long af, each imaginary bullet point is a paragraph and each imaginary slide is a couple pages) credit for this tip goes to my therapist. thanks amy. u solved paper writing for me and at least seven of my friends Partial credit is better than no credit at all. Only have 5 pages the day itโ€™s due? TURN IT IN. Itโ€™s better than a zero if the teacher wonโ€™t work with you on an extension or late work : hm...buns @coolthottie college really be on some other shit "..and it has to be a minimum of 20 pages."

running late part 2 (which again would never happen bc you followed my advice and made a little time table for yourself but anyway if it does somehow magically happen) i really recommend using school computers to do your work. ur surrounded by people who will hold u accountable + u will focus running late pt3 on the day of it being due, around 5 PM, be honest w/yourself and see where you are. if youโ€™re likeย โ€œit needs 2 more hoursโ€ okay. but if youโ€™re likeย โ€œthis isโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ not startedโ€ email the teacher.ย theyโ€™ll be soย much more receptive the earlierย you do this in the process. it looks likeย โ€œiโ€™m genuinely struggling and i hope to finish this on time but iโ€™m worried i wonโ€™tโ€ instead ofย โ€œi started this at 11:58PM and am asking for an extensionโ€. please also justโ€ฆ be honest?ย  โ€œmy teacher wonโ€™t accept late work!โ€ they all say that, he probably will, particularly if you have a note from the school therapist being likeย โ€œlmao sheโ€™s got so many mental illnesses idek how to help herโ€ โ€œno he really doesnโ€™t, he doesnโ€™t careโ€ you can file for disability if you have mental illness, and, in fact, you shouldย if itโ€™s something that often stops you from completing work on time. i didnโ€™t bc i found that it just let me procrastinate for a longer time, but having that on file means you can go to the dean. โ€œno!!! raquel youโ€™re not listening i have 2 pages and he doesnโ€™t take late work!!!!!!!!!โ€ ย okay. yeah thatโ€™s bad. but nerves, skeleton, meat, skin. what is it that youโ€™re struggling with? is it that your canโ€™t find any quotes to back up your thesis? impossible, tbh, you need to be more willing to purposefully misuse quotes (donโ€™t do that). but the better option is to just change the thesis.ย  โ€œi donโ€™t even have that!!โ€ did you. do the reading? if you even just watched the movie, you probably have an opinion on somethingย even if itโ€™sย โ€œthis is bad.โ€ you can use that.ย use why you didnโ€™t like it to write a hate-fueled examination on how whiny the main character is and why u think the author is trying to point out how miserable cis white boys are to deal with.ย  โ€œi donโ€™t have enough sources!!!โ€ go to wikipediaโ€™s page about it and look @ the sources. try to like actually read some if you have time but frankly in a hurry a student (me) might be compelled to just slap the source in there.ย  โ€œhow the fuckย do i analyze thisโ€. u know how ppl agonize over why an actor breathed in a scene. melt into that kind of thinking. you can literally force the words to mean whatever you want.ย iโ€™ve talked about word choice so specific that i based a 12-page essay on three separate uses of the words โ€œmy dearโ€. i talked about the possessiveย โ€œmyโ€ and how it developed for like 5 of those pages. and always repeat the thesis like a million times. after every analysis you should talk about how it links to the thesis. that is like a free 3 sentences every paragraph. โ€œi did all that and itโ€™s still 3 pages too shortโ€ quick ways to Beef Him Up: definitions are great in research papers + essays bc you can talk about either word choice or like the definition of every process used in getting the data. also make the conclusion hella informative (it should answerย โ€œwhat does this mean moving forwardsโ€ most of the time, tie it into modern life or into the past). thicken ur intro withย โ€œhereโ€™s a quote from this guy about it and what he personally felt about acid-base titrationsโ€, use a paragraph to talk about the history of the data/book, use a paragraph to talk about the modern reception of the data/book. also look for where you can use two words instead of one even tho like grammatically donโ€™t do that. worst comes to worst, brevity is the soul of wit. most teachers prefer concise over rambling and all over the place. if you choose to scoot under the page limit, tho, your writing etc needs to be exceptionallyย clean. frankly iโ€™ve only done this once and it was terrifying make computer read it aloud 2 u before u submit.ย โ€œraquelโ€ฆ.. i canโ€™t look at it anymoreโ€. youโ€™re not looking @ it, youโ€™re discovering you wroteย โ€œbreathโ€ notย โ€œbreatheโ€ and u need to change it tutoring centers exist, i worked in one, and this is how i know they actually Help and have Good Ideas ask about extra credit and do it tbh good luckโ€ฆ. breathe. and remember u are astronomically more important than a grade could ever be. do you have trouble writing words on paper but you know what you want to say? because thatโ€™s my personal form of useless perfectionism. like, you can tell your friend all about what youโ€™re planning on writing, and talk about it for like 20 minutes straight? make notes for imaginary slides for an imaginary presentation on the topic oops you have an outline now! your imaginary slides? paragraphs (or if ur paper is long af, each imaginary bullet point is a paragraph and each imaginary slide is a couple pages) credit for this tip goes to my therapist. thanks amy. u solved paper writing for me and at least seven of my friends Partial credit is better than no credit at all. Only have 5 pages the day itโ€™s due? TURN IT IN. Itโ€™s better than a zero if the teacher wonโ€™t work with you on an extension or late work : hm...buns @coolthottie college really be on some other shit "..and it has to be a minimum of 20 pages." You'll be writing a paper this semester" ft @coolthottie/jadasy ruby-white-rabbit: freddieandersen: inkskinned: HOW TO WRITE 20 PAGES (from one girl w/mental illness 2 the rest of u, but please keep in mind all of this is just personal Stuff That Worked for me n u might be different): first of all, and probably most importantly, make that paper about something you actually give a shit about. if you can write an essay on how long shakespeareโ€™s dick is when youโ€™re talking to your friends, thatโ€™s a good topic. donโ€™t choose something u donโ€™t care about, you will Want To Die โ€œokay but the only topics are ones i donโ€™t care aboutโ€ talk 2 ur teacher 99% of the time if youโ€™re likeย โ€œhereโ€™s a well-thought-out thesis can i talk about this insteadโ€ theyโ€™re likeย โ€œsure lmao i just couldnโ€™t think of other paper topics to suggestโ€ โ€œthey said noโ€ cool find the one u hate the least and try to tie it into something u like. for example i really hated this stupid paper i had to write about a stupid book so i ended up writing about the food insideย the book and whether or not it was a historically accurate depiction of food. turns out i fucking love talking about food. i also remade some of the old recipes and brought them in as part of the presentation of my project and people went fuckken nuts bc BREAD. basically i thought aboutย โ€œwhat motivates me? uh foodโ€ and followed that. it was a 45-page book about bread and i looked like a really good student when really i just love bread (somewhere, oprah smiles over me) the 20-pagers are the ones you Actually Cannot Do the night before. i know we all got real fuckken cocky back in hs when we learned how to do 5 pages in one night w/out trying too hard but 1. as a teacher now i can tell u for sure that teachersย do knowย you rushed it, we just Donโ€™t Care bc Weโ€™re Not Paid Enough and 2. twenty pages is not the same thing. you need to actuallyย take the time to do it. this is the actualย version ofย โ€œyouโ€™re not in hs anymoreโ€ DONT lie to yourself and thinkย โ€œitโ€™s fine iโ€™ll do it in one dayโ€ you will !! Regret it!!!!ย  โ€œraquel. raquel. listen to me. do you actually believe iโ€™m capable of time management. raquel i have depression i barely manage to exist.โ€ same. but the truth is that when i started like?? actuallyย following the rules of timelines and taking my time etc it actually really helps mental illness. you donโ€™t feel pressured all the time by a deadline, so your anxiety chills a little bit. small progress being acceptable means that on depression days, you donโ€™t have to worry youโ€™re fucking it all up. when itโ€™s 15 minutes every day (even if itโ€™s only 1 word a day) it feels a lot better. ask the teacher what timeline theyโ€™d recommend. they actually Know. alwaysย ask if itโ€™s informal or formal (if you can useย โ€œIโ€ statements or not). informal essays can rely on personal feelings and are soย much easier and trust me if you find out on the day itโ€™s due that you could have written 12 pages about your feelings instead of 12 pages of research, you will Be Very Upset i lie to myself all the time and move the deadline up. i write it in my agenda as at least 2 days before itโ€™s due. surprise!!! i tricked u, self!!! you canโ€™t procrastinate!!ย  agendas/planners need to be what actually worksย for you. i liked to prioritize w/colors + keep lists. i really love crossing things offย lists. itโ€™s likeโ€ฆ a balm. for me, i usually say i have to finish the first 2 things, start the 3rd thing, andย โ€œtouchโ€ at least half the list. if i finish the whole list i get a prize. also i get to cross off everything which is so satisfying iโ€™m sure itโ€™s someoneโ€™s idea of a rush. thereโ€™s so manyย โ€œhow toโ€ documents on these that i wonโ€™t get into it but frankly??
