#How to write a Thesis Paper

[worflesbian]

im about to fall asleep but first of all are there any deanna scholars who can tell me what her qualifications are namely does she have a PhD or would it be in character for her to pursue one? cause I feel like what with her not wearing uniform til tng s7 she's not really counted among the science blues but psychology is a science right? so she's a scientist? part of me feels like she was relegated out of the scientist role due to sexism but then also part of me feels like focusing on being a practicing counselor rather than research scientist is like a career choice that rejects elitism and could be an important character point. also judging by how Ezri was written there's a precedent for trek writers having a tenuous grasp of what a counselor actually does sometimes so.

#does this character reject societal notions of what success should look like (published papers etc). in favour of working directly with peop #or did the writers think a woman should help people with their feelings without showing her do things like write a thesis on how feelings w #if anyone has information. lore. beta canon. please let me know! #ghitlhpu'wij #deanna

people who put clarisse and luke on the same level and act like they should both be villainized in the same way and hated in the same way how does it feel to absolutely and completely misunderstand clarisse’s character

#people posting abt the show like “oh how am I supposed to hate clarisse with Dior playing her #YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HATE CLARISSE #I will write a thesis paper defending my girl istg #she is a TEENAGER who has to prove everything to her father #who was frustrated and angry #yes there’s not an excuse for her actions in the first book #BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST BOOK #like honestly how did people read sea of monsters/battle of the labyrinth and still hate her by last olympian #percy jackson and the olympians #clarisse la rue

the way my supervisor from hell cried at our meeting today and i didn’t let her manipulate me into telling her she’s a good person !!!!! ANA WIN!!!!!!

#she was like ‘you’re not very good at writing and clearly need a lot of help AND can’t take criticism’ which is a literal lie by the way #i was like ohhhh yeah? that’s how we’re going to play? let’s play then 😌 #she ended up crying trying to convince me SHE’s the one who’s right and kept repeating ‘im a good person’ HDSHKSJD #and i was just quiet looking at her like …. can we get back to my thesis please. and she got more and more frantic trying to get me to #agree that she’s a good person when she’s literally not and is an incompetent mentor #and i didn’t give into my people pleasing tendencies even when she started crying !!!!! AND got my PhD papers signed 😎

@zanderzargarin made a darling suggestion of doing an art collab/trade of "How the Fey has to get Harry that doughnut. Picturing scary dude in a mom and pop bakery, that sort of thing??" Loved it.

#You could write a thesis paper on why this would never be how this took place or ~ ~ #you can ignore the people who write thesis papers on why this would never be how this took place and draw it anyway. #The Dresden Files #Eldest Gruff #Fanart #art #comics #small favor #And yeah you know what? That's how I spell donut. #do-nut criticize me <3 #comic

writing the shittiest essay in the history of english for my ap lang final project💪💪we die like men

#hot take but ap classes shouldnt have final projects on top of scary exams. but whatever. #we have to write a marxist feminist or post colonial criticism of invisible man or the awakening #thats also a research paper #i chose feminist awakening but #he never told us how to write a criticism!!!! #making this shit up as i go along #i worked for maybe 2 hours and i have. part of a thesis and part of a first paragraph. lmao #trying to finish this in the next week so i can focus on my history final project 😔 but words arent wording

[girlscience]

speaking of being slow. i wish i was a faster writer. i can write and i can write well, but it takes me significantly longer than nearly everyone i know. i just cannot get words out as easily as other people seem to and it is so frustrating all the time. i am working on editing my resume right now for applications. this is the third day i have worked on it. all i have needed to do this entire time is change the format to fit grad school rather than a job and add my recent work history. this isn't even two pages long. i have been working on it for 3 and 1/2 hours tonight and it's still not done. ITS NOT EVEN 500 WORDS APPARENTLY. i want to cry

#it doesn't help that the vast majority of my friends are writers or english or lit or poli sci majors #my sister did pr and communications #everyone was always writing papers and presentations and speeches #i VIVIDLY remember my last semester at college sitting down with my sister to do work #cause we were home from covid. and in the several hours we were sitting there she got a seven page paper done #and i didn't even finish one page #i just cannot write the way other people around me seem to be able to #i dont know why it is so much harder for me than other people #i always felt bad when i did group projects because i would be working as hard as i could... and i just wouldn't finish the same amount #as the other people because i just couldn't make the right words that fast #and i am already stressing about it for grad school because everyone talks about how grad school is so paper and presentation focused #people say its easier because you dont have to do worksheets or tests and instead you just have to write #(and im doing a thesis masters so i will have to WRITE) #but... the worksheets and problems and tests are what i am good at #that is what comes naturally to me. noticeably so. #but writing??? i am going to struggle #and i already know it. as always..... why am i doing this again? #why do i think i am going to be good enough for this?? hahaha #god i just need to get this resume done so i can start the painful process of writing my personal statement

[skibasyndrome]

inside of me there are two wolves, one is like "yay 🥰 Christmas break soon 🥰" and the other is actually aware of all the to dos I have in front of me and is really not looking forward to all of this, rip

#I am........ in trouble lol #it's what I get for not doing this stuff during the semester #simon.out. #remember how last semester me thought a few papers and the thesis could easily be written during the semester??? yeah what the FUCK was he #thinking??? #yes i gotta add emails to the to dos otherwise I won't write them #I'll reply to your lovely asks and also send out asks later btw ❤

Gosh, Im being such a lazy ass today, with finals just around the corner and an off day to get stuff done and instead I just wanna play Skyrim ffs...

#personal #tbf Im feeling kinda miserable with the allergies #and trying to ward off depressive spiral and mood swings #Im hoping if I do some gaming now then I can stock up on the good feels #and then do Something after dinner when the anxiety starts nipping at my heels #like maybe finish that one paper I need to send in before the month ends #so I have it out of the way #it doesn’t even need to be super good or whatever #Im convinced she barely checks them before giving grades #everyone always gets good ones no matter how much effort they've put in #but I Can’t not make it look at least Somewhat like a proper paper so yeag #still only two pages left for the required amount so #just need to get it out of the way #maybe make another bibliography descp for another class #I have two left to do for rhe five required #they do take some time but at least now I know how to do them #at first it was like black magic I swear #but yeah anywa6 #gonna boot up Skyrim and try to move my romance with Kaidan #or errr friendship for now #but I have to say #as much as Im Not fond of some of his added EE lines #the early flirt and all the og lines Im hearing now are *chefs kiss* #I love this guy #and Im unironically writing a fanfic in my head that may or may not get actually written in some form #Im having the itch to write for the first time in like over half a year #Im Craving it here at this point #while what I Should be writing is my thesis :') #oh well... the uni life continues lmao #I might go start the companions or thieves guild missions today

Made a new playlist becase i was listening to one day robots will cry and thinking about battery city and the androids and destroya and my frankenghoul au where he believes in destroya and stuff bc he grew up with androids and just. Ugh. feeling things

Anyway do you guys see my vision. The first like ten songs mainly but the rest is still the vibe. Androids, loneliness, destroya, the graffiti bible, belonging hoping praying etc

#im starting to feel like no one feels as insane about like the bat city android culture as i do #i could and would and mabe will write a fuckinng essay in it #haunted and holy #ttlotfk #every time one day robots will cry comes on which is. multiple times a day bc its one of my few downloaded audios that i have on repeat. #every time it comes on im screaming crying sobbing whatevr. ive known you in every life ive lived. and like. red and blue andlike. the andr #oids and how they think of souls and love and huma thinfs theyre not allowed to have and destroya versus the phoenix witch and AUGHH #in our dreams we can be complete. im gonna wrie a fucking thesis paper and title it that i swear #Spotify

sometimes the things Overleaf claims aren't words make no sense

#chattering #overleaf buddy you get used for So Many Astronomy Papers #how do you not recognize redshift as a word #you get a pass on lensing but I do love how it's marked it incorrect only one of the two times it was used #thesis writing funtimes #<- starting a tag for that because it's officially crunch time lads #so I might be posting about this a decent amount

#if you wanna know how my Sylvester post is coming #this is where we are and I'm not even done yet #this is officially longer then any paper I had to write for uni #it's a literal thesis #it's like 13 pgs double spaced #not as long as my fanfic chapters tho #lol #I'm gonna cut some of it #it's gonna be in three or four parts #I wasn't joking on my profile description #I am elaborating #🔫 #I just have a lot to say this is a real deep dove into Sylvester #and honest it's not deep enough #I would go and find quotes and in text examples #but #the semester just started🤷‍♀️ #consider this my apology when it comes out #I don't actually expect any you to really read it #it's a door stopper #but I will appreciate any who do and interact with it #it should be out before the end of the week

[thelaststarfalling]

just once i'd like to complete one (1) bigger project that i can actually be proud of

#hrrrrg met with my advisor for my thesis and it's Not Great!! #idk how i always manage to set myself up for failure #struggled so much with thinking of a specific thing to write about so now i have this super broad paper about everything which essentially #amounts to writing about nothing #cuz that's not how history works you can't just make a huge argument like that (at least not without much more extensive research than ive #done) #and im not saying anything novel or interesting anyway #but i already have a whole semester of work dumped into this thing so neither my advisor nor myself wants me to tear it apart and start fro #scratch #there definitely wouldn't be time to do that anyway #so now it's just gonna be yet another thing where i have no confidence in it while working on it and just eke out an end product thats #decent enough to satisfy others while i know inwardly that its really not good #the professor for the capstone class last semester said the paper was good and i was in a good spot to finish it this semester #but this is the first time my actual advisor has really looked at it and hes confirming all of the doubts i had about it :(((( #agh itll ultimately be fine i just wish i could do something to justify the 'oh youre such a good student!' im really not!!!!!!!! #i have no idea what i'm doing!!!!!! #p

[spouseoftherisingsun]

is it weird to be so extremely uncomfortable with paragraphs with lines that are unequal or lacking a consistent, harmonious transition in length that you have to edit what you write specifically to create a less aesthetically jarring presentation bc it bothers you. or is it normal

#probably to delete but. #just realizing exactly how much i cannot let a paragraph be gross to look at #like. writing my thesis conference paper and realizing im spending so long on each paragraph just so there's no weird gaps of space #minor discrepancies are fine-ish although they still bug #but like. i worry that im spending a not insignificant amount of time on it #it's not even about other people seeing it its just me and me feeling like its wrong to leave it like that #like i do it with non-academic work including personal stuff that only i see #i like physically cant leave a paragraph with a major gap in it (unless like. its poetry or a specific writing choice or something) #(said remembering when i was a sophomore in high school and thought i was so so so so so clever playing with font style in my assignment)
