this is the proof: we all procrastinate 😂

[vanessajp]

vee: does introduction in 19 mins
me: spends 2 hrs trying to find a synonym for “the”

[lols]

The best part about finishing an essay or thesis is closing all them damn tabs, all 60 of them

[todayiglowup]

i feel like she lost like 20% of her time by talking to us lol, which makes it even more impressive wow

[uwuseokie]

This is my type of content: sheer panic

[Kovukingsrod]

Don’t encourage me to procrastinate thinking it’ll work out 😂😂

[courtneyparker]

Sat here stressing about my assignments so I’ll watch someone else stress instead to make me feel better

[jasontodd]

The fact that she's taking breaks in between is stressing me out

[insomnia]

she was more or less relaxed because she already made a very detailed plan of her essay and prepared notes from reading the literature required to the essay like 3-4 days prior. and that is already 70% of the work. there's no way someone could write a big essay on a complex topic from scratch in 4 or 5 hours without at least some sort of preparation. i'm in no way underestimating her admirable stress-management, she's obviously very intelligent and determined. but don't do the same as her if you're not sure about your essay notes or the capability of managing your stress levels. some people can't work under a lot of stress, while others perform better. this video itself was quite stressful to watch lol. respect

I was such a slow-writer in uni. I couldn’t have done this in 4 hours. I would spend those 4 hours crying and calling my friend for support and beers. I looooved this video

As a writer, 2500 words is nothing of like a decent draft in an hour
BUT A UNIVERSITY PAPER
AT STANFORD
PLEASE-
girl four hours? I'd need four weeks 😭

[sadhvika]

You wrote an introduction paragraph in 19 minutes. 19 minutes!. Introductions take at least 2 1/2 hours for me. You are a last minute god

[sofialewis]

here's a tip for people who feel stressed about writing the intro: write it last! everybody tries to do it up front, but in a lot of ways, the intro can serve some of the same functions as the conclusion; rather than being a synthesis of all the ideas you've shared and possible future directions (the conclusion's work), the introduction can help synthesise what ideas you *will* be discussing, why it's important, and (importantly!!) what knowledge the reader needs to be able to engage fully with what they'll be reading. use the introduction to help the reader get in the same frame of mind + with the same background you have to have prepared the discussion.

writing the introduction before anything else can be (1) mentally difficult to process and (2) confusing for your reader because .. you haven't even decided what you're really going to say yet. I find I have a much, much clearer idea of what my introduction should be once I know what my essay actually says. the introduction is a tool, not a limit!

when she did the calculations for the nap and then realized it wasn't possible and she had to meet back to her desk chair... that SENT me

[prikipriki]
