I have an A in this college class and got a little lazy towards the end of it. Tomorrow midnight is the last day to turn in a 7 page essay and I have not started. We were supposed to be starting this like a month or two ago.

The nature of it is very research heavy and I don't even have any sources, which need to be quoted through out.

I'd say it is around 3,000 word for it all.

Possible in a day?

Have you done something like this before and did you pull it off? I got no other choice, I will finish this effortless.

It's easily possible with online library resources through your university. Probably shouldn't wait this long though.

It's entirely possible - sure. You can write a hundred thousand words in a day if you don't give a shit about content.

Just make sure you've got a central idea that you want to talk about, and fluff where necessary.

Yeah but you gotta resist the urge to GAF it up for a day. Or only check for a bit after you type a certain amount.

grind through keywords on jstor and scholar.google.com

write a page-by-page outline

start typing, even if it's garbage. make your draft sentences blue, finalize in black.

Ask about the late penalty, and then write something coherent.

I remember learning in university that it's better to be late than hand in a piece of crap.

It usually takes me about one hour per page (including looking up information) to write a good essay. Granted, it won't be fun, but totally doable.

Dude, I did 20 pages in a day and got an A when I was in school. Just don't mess around and you'll be done pretty fast.

Get all your info together before you start.

Plan that essay out, paragraph by paragraph.

Then sit down and fill in the blanks.

Boom. You're welcome.

Very possible. I put off papers to the last day a number of times when I was in undergrad. I found it was easiest if I worked through the night, since there really isn't as many distractions. Going to the school's computer lab also helped, since it forced me to actually get work done and not sleep or play video games.

As if it matters whether or not you write crap or not. Just turn something in and pay your tuition and fake a little effort and you'll probably pass

The whole finding sources and citing them correctly is going to be your main problem, but if you can get over that bit you can probably #yolo the rest of the essay.

Depends on the type of the paper. If it's a research paper that requires academic sources ( 30+ pages of technical lingo) then fuck no. If you can load it up with popular sources go for it.

A quality 12 point Times New Roman, double-spaced paper with 1 margins can be written in a couple of hours. I don't know how long it will take to do your research but if you at least have a general idea of what you're looking for, you should be ok.

nah, online journals make source scouting extremely easy. google even has numerous scanned academic or research books.

The fact that it's a research paper makes it quite a bit harder, but its definitely doable if you don't mind it being kind of bad. The fact that you''re on GAF right now tells me you'll be up pretty damn late finishing it though.

Have fun.

Increase the font size by 1 on all your punctuation.

It's absolutely possible. I did that many times in college. The shitty part is that I am an extremely slow writer because I edit every sentence as I go, so even a 5 page paper could easily take me 10+ hours to write. I pulled a lot of all-nighters in college. Time management is not my forte.
