Get started on a paper due tomorrow

n faster n easier n better

Get started on a paper that’s due tomorrow.

Deadlines are a part of life. Don’t worry. Some people even work better under stress.

Don’t panic. Seriously, it doesn’t help.

Economize, but don’t skip any steps.

Even though you don’t have a lot of time, it’s still essential to organize your thoughts and gather your sources before diving in.

Reward yourself. Tell yourself for every hour you spend on the paper, you can spend 10 minutes relaxing or exercising. (Check out rec equipment in McKeldin, second floor.)

Ask for help. Don’t be embarrassed. We’re not bothered by your late start; we just want to help.

HOW WE CAN HELP

The Terrapin Learning Commons is open all night on most days during the academic year. Working at the library will free you from distractions of roommates or Netflix, and you’ll be surrounded by others who are also working. Sometimes it’s good to know you’re not the only one pulling an all-nighter.
