Coffee. Lots of it. Don't sleep, just write. You'll be fine.

Yup... that's what I did for my exams, it was 2 weeks of grueling work and 4 hours a nights sleep and lots of coffee but I passed!

Ugh, I do...

It's why I get so incredibly stressed out near the end of every semester, regardless of how easy/undemanding my schedule is...

I can't do homework or study without the pressure of it being due. As such my papers are usually just mindless drivel, but I use fancy references so my professors think it's good. Deus Ex Machina ftw!

I would start by making an outline. I don't like them much myself, but they're necessary to make longer papers coherent. When you're done just add the prepositions and some filler and your essay's finished! They're also helpful for figuring out where to put your fancy references.

Oh and use semicolons. :thumb:

I would suggest setting up a series of personal deadlines. Pretend your first paper is due like in three or four days, then work on the second paper for three or four days, and so on. Just pretend the papers are due at different times and work towards those deadlines, and work on them separately otherwise you won't make very much progress. And it would probably be a good idea to stay off here for a while, till they're done.

also, use the "garamond" font, size 13. my friends careers class was taught that it tricks people into thinking your paper is better than it is.

I usually do a one hour of writing, one hour of fun back and forth. With breaks for eating.
