The end of March may mean that we are one step closer to Summer, but unfortunately it also means that students across the country are one step closer to deadlines.
While exams can be pretty terrifying, the one universal fear all final year uni students have is the dissertation. Handing in such a huge piece of work is intimidating, and writing it is even more stressful. Even though you have practically a whole year, the last month is usually filled with lots of long days at the library and having nightmares about being over the word count.
If you’re in the thick of it now, why not give yourself five minutes off frantically writing your bibliography and citing endless sources to laugh at some memes? I suppose one positive of diss season is that you’re not alone, and there’s a whole internet out there of people going through the same thing.
Like this person, who is so close and yet so far away. But they’re not letting that stop them from seeing the end in sight.
Yep, there’s not much time to enjoy any other books when you’re having to consume so many already for your diss. There’s not much time to enjoy anything at all, come to think of it.
A question we ask ourselves everyday.
I thought it was just me who did this, but turns out it’s human nature to be incredibly nosy. A dissertation topic says a lot about a person though, right?!
This sums up how it feels to bash out 12,000 words including footnotes, citations, and a bibliography. No, we’re not okay.
Yes, we are excited for Summer, but Spring just comes with so many responsibilities. There’s Mother’s Day, dissertation deadlines, final assignments, exams, job interviews, post graduate applications. The list is endless.
Literal footage of me running back to the library every time I remember how much of my diss I have left to write.
