Happy_Day
Have you ever written an important essay the night before it was due?.. and still gotten a good grade?


I always do this because I'm such a procrastinator..
But I'm actually kind of worried about my 5-page research paper for modern European history that's due tomorrow. Haven't even started, and I still need to read about 80 pages from my textbook.

Edit: Yeah, I get really good grades when I'm pressured to do something really fast. Haha, but I think I'm going to die at an early age because I always do that and end up stressing like crazy.
THiS ONE LOSER
All the time. >:[
But not really a great grade..
Just good enough to pass.
But in my freshman year
we had to write a story of a hero.
and I wasn't even going to do it
but I changed my mind last minute
and ended up with an A. (:

Sure, but that was back in high school.

Come to think of it I'm writing an essay right now.

And it's due tomorrow.

Life hates me.
alohaahuiho
Most of the time!

It's not a good thing, but I love woking under pressure. Makes me think!
just need someone to reread it for grammatical errors that I didn't catch, or clear things that I didn't elaborate on!

Good luck! You can do it!

I did that a few times. Sometimes the pressure works better--when there's a lot of time (like if you start much earlier)--there are times when it's hard to get it written out the way you want it.
Booger Face
Hell yeah, and I received a good grade on it too.
sungae
yep O_o
i always do that o.o

worse one was my final 10 page paper on mulitple personality disorder for AP psyc in high school.
went full out research + writing mode at 7pm and had to pull an all-nighter =/
InfiniteTime

All the time . It's usually around 3 a.m, in the morning too while i'm dead tired.
I need to stop that , seriously.
JENNiFER*

`ANITA
Haha.. I do it all the time.
There was once (this January) where I had to do this big project for English (it was a few essays on a book I read) and I did the WHOLE thing the night before it was due & ended up not sleeping. Haha. But I got an A! biggrin.gif
MUGETSU
Right now it is 4AM here in NYC and I haven't started my 5 page paper that is due in 9 hours.

I will probably finish around 7.

Wish me luck!
Booger Face
Damn, good luck. Good luck to you too, PIIKOBOO.

I have my senior project to do. Product + presentation = tomorrow. T_T
witchyangelkk
Yep... i wrote an english text essay the day before it was due...
I think i did a pretty good job though.. coz the fact that it was due the day after, pressured me to work harder and think quicker =P

Im such a procrastinator as well ^^

crazyANDdelusional
LOL yeah.
I was supposed to make a 3-5 page analysis essay on a character from a book but I made it 2 pages and still got an A xD. I thought I wrote 3 pages so I went to sleep cause I was dead tired but the next morning I found out it was 2, ahahah.
putasmileon
Yep. Senior essay... full marks. biggrin.gif So glad I'm out of high school! Well, I guess I planned it for a while, but writing was on the day before.
serre
hahah... same with me
I've got a project that is already overdue >.<
but hey *defends self* it's because I got sick =.=
but anyway, yes, I had once written an essay that was due in like hours tongue.gif
but yea, I got a pretty okay grade ^^
I agree, there are times that I did greater when it's already in the middle of the night rather than it's still in the day :x
sulfuric_ACID
yeah i did that all the time back in high school. it was like a habit. pretty bad. but cause i was pretty ok at english and stuff so i got pretty good marks. now i don't even need to write essays no more. yay!
NJSK.

I do that sometimes, but since my essays aren't great normally, I don't get good grades =(
dang..


muchlove!
-jisoo
rapturedsoul
Sometimes, but I find Essay's easy to write.
And my grades aren't bad for Essays =]
A's or B's for even unfinished ones xD...
choliese
You know, I use to plan a few weeks ahead.
Not anymore, I do it the night before due date now.
Makes no difference in the results anyway, why bother wasting that much time laugh.gif
*slacker point of view*
cpopbaby19
yeah. XD it was crazy. i got 4.0 for my theology essay. biggrin.gif

saggiorpiioxgalaxy
All the time..

But the grades are bad.. tongue.gif
snaeha_dalis13
I hate working under pressure. But yes I do this (well used to-I haven't written an essay in a while tongue.gif ) and yes strangely the grades were the same or even better than if I didn't leave it to the last minute.
iced*chai.latte
Yeah, I used to be pretty good at pulling this stuff.
3 week writing project I did in 3 days and got a 96. That was sort of amazing.
And the APEuro paper, did most of the research and writing the nigh before and got a 95. But he liked my writing too, so that helped.
1TYMRMYVZT
Haha~ I do it ALL the time...
Well, I always start doing my homework (essays, BIG projects, etc.) 3 hours before going to school...
It's REALLY stressful but I like procrastinating A LOT, so yeah... XDDD
And I always get good grades. A+++ ^^
wonny

Pink*
Yes, all the time.
like last month I wrote an essay two hours before it was due.
katteriinka
I procrastinate all the time. I just wrote an essay that was suppose to be due 2 days ago in 3 hours. O_O
baoi
That is the only way to make me write one.

I didn't start yet.
Bea

and also for my senior project i had to write a 8-15 page paper and i did it all the night before..omg, it was crazy...i stayed up til like 3 @_@
y0ori
I'm writing a paper right now..
..that's due in approx. three hours. sweatingbullets.gif

Hey, another day in the life of Me.
Miraculously, the grades rock. Which makes me wonder about the competence of my professors.
espèce*
All the time.
It's sad actually.
Because I always sit there late at night and curse my essay&myself,
getting angry, telling myself that I properly can't finish it.
But then in the end, I always manage to finish it.
Looking like a zoombie the day after.
I wish I can stop doing it.

Every paper I ever wrote was written the night before it was due...always A or B+
Research papers...I give myself a week though b/c I move really slow when I do them...I really hate them.
hippiehop

mtrgl7
Did a groupwork essay all by myself, pulled an all-nighter on the last few hours.

Topic was on the legalisation of organ transplants and it topped the class.

Totally on an ego trip. lol.
cidre7
All the time...
I did it for my History paper, and now I'm going to be doing it for my english paper also
miss lisa
haha yup. all the time. its such a bad habbit but i can never seem to get myself to start until i kno i have to, which would be the night before.
Malice_Kaiser
Oh god. Lemme think of a time when I didn't wait 'til the last night....
&anita_*
YES, i do that ALL THE TIME! but i always come out with a decent grade...maybe i work well under pressure? o.O
chipotle2104
ahahah..ALL THE TIME D:~
and then it gets to the point where I'm sooo out of it, I start typing/writing down my own thoughts instead of the essay I'm suppose to do! X__x;;

so you'd see things in spanish...random curliques...REALLY random thoughts...D:
and then I'd have to start over again x___X;...
Childlike Faith
I've never NOT written an essay the night before it's due.
I've pulled so many all-nighters, lol, it sucks.
Never not written it before the night it's due, but my essay grades have been pretty good.

I love writing essays. I hate my procrastinating!
siliconrex
i used to until i had to write one really long one that took me until 4 am to finish. well it wasn't that bad, so i guess i'd still do it again biggrin.gif
lyrical lies
lmao. NO! i could never do that.
i'm such a big procrastinator, but
with essays, i just can't do it. they're
too important for me to delay it.
seriously, seventy percent of my grade.
so, i've never done that (:
remmy
always. and i still end up with an A.. or at least a high B smile.gif
lildrummer
i do it a lot... i still manage a good grade ^^
that's probably why i can't stop procrastinating lols.
i need to learn a lesson O.O;

my advice... START DOING YOUR RESEARCH PAPER NOW!!! j/k
clemie186
All the time
I just can't organize my time and work earlier so I don't have to stress
I write all my essays or work on projects like the weekend before its due.. sometimes even after the due date
And still get good..around 80's to 90's
I cant help it, I can't only work when I have to
vondunker
i remembered writing a short essay 2 hours before school.
To my astonishment, i was praised by the teacher in the class some days later. I got the highest marks.
I thought i was going to get a scolding or something intially.

Then i was thinking d*mnit. I would have written a better one (with more phrases or difficult words) if i have the time because she was penalising that i did not use more of that.
GregoryHouseMD
Yeah, two weeks ago for my 1000 words law essay, didn't get any sleep. I got it back this week and got 53/60 on it biggrin.gif
