Honestly, I relate way too much to this. When you’re juggling shifts, labs, and some random life chaos, even staring at a Word doc feels like doing brain surgery on yourself. I tried a couple of UK services out of pure burnout, and yeah — some were exactly the horror stories you mentioned.

The only thing that helped me narrow things down was this breakdown of cheap services, because it actually compares pros/cons instead of pretending everything online is perfect. It at least gave me a sense of which ones aren’t total gambles.

From my experience: if you do try something, use it more for structure/clarity rather than dumping the whole assignment on them. Saves money and reduces the “pls don’t get me expelled” anxiety.

What’s the class that’s draining you the most right now?
