I Am Afraid of Failure

I am screwed. I have been working on a paper forever. Have to submit it in 18 hours. I have 3000 more words to go and I am terribly stuck. I just fail to say anything academic about the subject. I feel embarrassed and I don't know what to do. I really am trying. 馃槱 I am not even forcing myself to necessarily put anything good on paper anymore, just ANYTHING will do. But I can't figure it out.

What are you writing about? If you're really desparate, google the subject, copy, paste, then modify words and phrases so it's not obvious (crap technique I know but better than nothing)

@AyselxGwynith: ah, that makes it tougher, they'll want more specifics & be more rigorous of course. You're having trouble coming up with original thoughts about the specific subject? Obv I can't offer anything specific, but, unless you're at postgrad level, bear in mind that what most professors want is, students who parrot back their own words to them, but rephrased enough to not be obvious :/

@firefall: My teachers ideas are way to difficult though. I cannot even understand them, let alone parafrase it if he has said it weeks ago. But thanks for thinking with me. 馃槵

@AyselxGwynith: wish I could've been some help. Good luck, anyway.

Ask a question about it on here. Maybe some answers will spark some ideas.

Either that or take a break. Sounds like you need it.

An hour or 30 min. is a good power nap.

I have take a break before, but it didn't help at all. So I might as well keep going. The topic is unfortunately very complex and specific to my study. Sometimes I think I see something I can write about, but I always get stuck somewhere, noticing I am wrong.
