The Five Stages Of Essay Writing
·
1)Being Cocky
You receive your assignment brief and think ha! This sounds like a piece of cake. This confidence lasts for about 1.25 seconds and swiftly moves to step two
2) Depression
Your lecturer starts explaining every single example in history of how students have gone wrong and what not to do. The horror stories shoot out at you thick and fast until all confidence has been diminished and utter terror is spread all over your face.
3) Denial
You carry on with your life pretending the essay doesn't exist nor has it ever existed. At all. Ever. This is the delightfully unaware stage. That is until you go back into university a few weeks later and other students are talking about how they have already written 4680 words and found 46 references. Hearing this almost catapults you back into stage two.
4) Acceptance
You finally realize that is it actually easier to just write the essay. Its a grueling. pain staking journey which includes cussing at the laptop, questioning your place on the course and eating tubs of ice cream to get through the night.
5) Relief
After all the sweat and tears, you have submitted your essay. You tell yourself that it wasn't that bad and next time you will start early to make it easier on yourself.
Repeat this process with every essay.
