Help me.
>>7760108
my trouble is always deciding on an argument. my head is completely empty and i'll sit down and try to force an essay structure and it's just shit, and then usually 3 days before the paper is due by complete chance a fully formed argument pops into my head and i rattle it off in a night and edit the next day. but i live in cosntant fear of not intuiting any argument

What does that mean?
>>7760179
You're probably going to end up teaching English in a school somewhere. What else can you do with an English degree?

Ah, so become unemployed. You might as well have done Gender Studies, because then you might have a chance to get some pussy.

To be honest, I don't know. I don't think I'm a good writer, and anything I've written I refuse to reread after I get it back. I'm talking about schoolwork, I've never tried writing a novel or poetry.
It just comes as a stream of consciousness. I feel like the only thing that helps me for school is that I read a lot, I try to implement decent grammar, and I write folk songs.
What is the subject of your paper? For long papers I usually write a brief outline, just short sentences to understand how I want the paper to flow, then I just kind of improvise as I go along, and edit after for consistency.
>>7760200
it's pretty easy to apply any research and writing skills to literally any job that is based around writing words in any capacity. studying a subject doesn't mean your work has to revolve around that subject. you pick up other skills and not just specialist knowledge

Bro, this is where champions shine. Don't quit unless you're a quitter. But if you're a champ, like your boy here. Crank up the volume and churn out a masterpiece.

Pretend you are constantly replying to posts with your shit posting and you'll be fine
OP here, well I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not finishing this bitch tonight. I'm not too worried because it's just the peer review tomorrow and not the actual final submission.
Yes, I realize I just fucking tried to rationalize my procrastination. I'm working on it.
Good night lads.
what's it about
>>7760305
I have to summarize an essay written by an SJW african american studies major. I basically have to agree that white people are the devil and are the cause of all the problems in the world.
>>7760310
link to the essay?

>>7760310
you probably don't have to agree/disagree. you can just report the arguments back in short form with sentences like "the author says ...".
>>7760054
>he can't shit out a decent 3 page paper in less than 2 hours
absolutely disgusting
It's okay you will never use those essay skills in real life for anything practical anyways
>>7760353
That's just wrong. You practice observation, rhetoric, and bullshitting in every essay.
>>7760360
All useless literature degrees are memes only STEM is useful
Is the Spongebob episode about essay procrastination the most Kafkaesque thing Kafka wrote?

This. I can write any number of pages extremely quickly and always put off my assignments until the very last minute and then just speed write something that is somehow flawless and I always get an A. On the SATs I wrote the entire essay by hand with no outline in 15 minutes. It just comes naturally I guess.

My best teacher was a sophomore teacher who made us do about 15 timed writes in a year. That man fucking destroyed our papers, he treated us like we were suppose to be collage ready. One of the best teachers to ever exist.

This was in secondary though.

Ok. Then, I don't see how skipping is going to help you. Unless you sent in wail and tale about how you were sick and couldn't work.
