I just uploaded my thesis. If anyone is interested in reading it let me know. It's only 16 pages, but it was supposed to be 20-25. I'm sure it'll be okay, right?
I also have to write two 5 page essays and a 10 page report in order to graduate, on top of a final I have to take next week. I can do this in 2 weeks? Someone tell me I can do this in two weeks... Please tell me I can do this in 2 weeks! PLEASE!

And I'm not just saying that. Call on your resources, ie, friends and family who can feed you, or at least babysit. And buckle down for a wild ride of writing frenzy. Stay focused, build a writing routine by working backwards from your deadline and build in an extra day so you can colapse into bliss with a day to spare. And you will collapse, but not until it is all handed in.
suggested plan:
1) pick your least favourite essay to write first, and bang the outline in a half hour, and then first draft off in an afternoon.
2) go for a 20 minute walk and include some nutrition or caffine with that walk.
3) go back and write your outline for your next essay. Sleep, or read for fun, or watch a movie, or anything other than study for the evening.
Day 2) write first draft of second essay in an hour (this is the topic you like better)
then write your first draft. take all day, but not all night.
day 3) read aloud your first draft of your first essay, and then edit it.
Print.
take to cafe and write all over it with your fav editing pen.
edit again, print and hand in.
day 4) do the same with the other essay, but read it aloud a second time after the first edit and printing.
Day 5) revise thesis, add any missing content, and edit for flow and comprehension.
make sure the table of contents, diagrams and stylesheet (APA, MLA or what ever one you are using) is adheard to. Then get a trusted friend to read over it.
Edit. Print again, think more.
It seems like a grueling process, but you can do it!!
Hang in there!!! There's my advice, take it or leave it, but I'm handing it over with lots of experience on these matters:)

You'll do it!
You'll do it!
because you kick ass!!!
You can do it. It will be fast and furious. Just one step at a time.
I know if feels totally overwhelming right now. Start with the first page and just keep on going. (It always feels more managable to me when I start than when I haven't started yet, you know? It's like before I start I'm facing the un-doable and then when I actually have even just a tiny bit done - like I'm talking half a paragraph! - I'm like, oh okay, I CAN do this!)
Sending you last two weeks of the semester EVER vibes!!!!
