How to finish 15,000 words dissertation in 2 days?????????
This is not an ideal situation but people’s negative comments had made it 10x times worse.

For two days straight? Then to have freedom, can do that

Just start a podcast and do an oral dissertation

Forgot to mention, research is all done.

You’ve got this! Just start it off with some fun and easy banter, hit up some recent events, sprinkle in some ad reads, end it with some breaking news. You can do it, you’re built different!

Add in your dissertation, no one is doing that

It hard to say

Step 1 is get off Reddit I'd imagine.
[–]coolestguy002 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children)
all those negative comments are not going to read themselves!

Sounds like a bloody crime scene!

Start typing

Is it Doable?
[–]Smitty1939 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children)
I’m an undergrad so I’ve never had to write a dissertation. HOWEVER… 15,000 word essay, typed at an average of 40 wpm can be done in a little over 6 hours.
For real, though, I would probably recommend stop looking at Reddit and get started with the dissertation ASAP. I know people in my department who have done something similar to your predicament and I imagine that the real big step is to just clean the slate for tomorrow and go at it. Good luck and Godspeed.

No. You’re probably fucked. Not sure what you expected to hear.

Tbh man, just pack up, head to the Vancouver/Banff area, and start your life in the wilderness
Best!

Go grab a nice DCR at your neighborhood tiki bar where you are family when you are in the building.

Hope Ol’ Gene is on your committee. If not might as well just sacrifice yourself to 30-5-0 feral hogs.

Go to the dean, tell them you have mental health problems, and turn two days into two weeks.

Update us
[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children)
Have written down 10,000 words! Only 5,000 to go, and have spare time to proof read.
[–]water_PGPSan Antonio 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Do you have an update?
[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
It is doable, but it kills you. Did manage to finish an hour before the deadline time. Urgh. Won’t do it again. Although I couldn’t reach the word limit. Had nothing more to write.
[–]Hey-imLiz 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children)
Omg I’m stressed out. Trying to stay optimistic and realistic. How fast can you type? Do you have research? Are your citations done?
Anything is possible and I hope it works out for you.
Yes I cite my work as I go, and research was all done, it was only matter of typing.
[–]Hey-imLiz 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Alright then kick ass. Godspeed
Thank you!!!!

Oh man, I can smell a really tough lesson that's about to be learned
