writing a 2,000 WORD ESSAY in 4 HOURS - university essay all-nighter 

*procrastinates by watching other people deal with the consequences of procrastinating*

University students hit a new low every assignment. The struggle is real

> due tomorrow > *do tomorrow*

Jack: has an essay due in a few hours Also Jack: grabs camera and 'hi guys so today...'

Writing a 2000 word essay. "I have zero words". But he's done the flaming reading and got his sources. That's pretty much half of his essay. Idk, he's in a better position than the mess I'm in. Bloody brilliant!

Let's appreciate the fact that Jack had such an assignment for the next day, started at 11:00pm, but still got those aesthetic camera angles for us.

jack: *makes video thoroughly researching his essay question* also jack: *stays up all night to write said essay after leaving the research to die*

This brings me back some stressful memories

why do you look so sane and calm at 4 AM?! When I pull all-nighters I usually end up dancing and singing in my room at 3AM with tears running down on my face haha

Im watching someone studying instead of studying myself

“I don’t know how this happened” Me the day before every assignment

It’s fascinating to see someone with such a wildly different essay approach, where they do all the reading before hand then write - I tend to read a ton just to generate vague understanding, write random sections as ideas come to me, then midway through process I’ll work out what my argument actually is and edit and create the connective tissue last of all. It’s a bit chaotic but functions well for me!

why is everybody channelling their inner Vee nowadays 😂😂

Jack: "Only 800 words left" Me: "Only!" Also me: *Procrastinating researching my 3,500 word history essay in for friday*

Jack: “planning and preparation is key! I love using essay planner charts they are a lifesaver!! Gotta keep on top is things!!!!!” Also Jack: “yeah so it’s basically midnight and I haven’t even started my 2,000 word essay yet. But it’s FiNe i SwEaR”

This is the creepiest thing ever - I just finished writing a 2000 word paper. It is now 5 a.m. and I was having a lowkey existential crisis because the deadline is in a few hours and I can't believe I am this uncapable of managing my time... and then this video popped up. Wow. Dear Jack, you just made me feel so much better. Thank you hahah!

Vee's impact

"The issue is like I have the ideas in here *points to head* its just like translating them in away where they don't become shit from here to the laptop screen" - Jack Edwards Related so hard to those words.

That’s 8.3 words a minute I believe in you jack

Let's be honest. We all try to pretend that we are some study-dragon like Ruby Granger or other big names in the StudyTube community, but at the end of the day we know we are all Jack Edwards.

Starting to think filming is Jack's motivation to work 🤔😂

Jack saying “I dont know how this happened” is literally me 100% of the time I had an assignment and left it for the night before

You know it’s a stressful video when the intro jingle has a BLACK background...

*I'm pulling an all nighter to finish my essay due in a few hours but instead of actually doing it, I'm watching other people pulling an all nighter for their essay* 🙃

watching this at the start of an all-nighter before my essay is due tomorrow, I can say I feel encouraged, understood and invincible. especially because I have a similar way of working on an essay and have always seen it as a chaotic and unproductive. this gave me hope. hallelujah. let's begin.

me in exactly the same situation me: hey look it's Jack

The fact I stress and procrastinate over a few assignments when we live on a ball

Dear anybody that is in this situation and is on the internet looking for help: Get tf off of youtube and start writing.

As an English lit student, this is very relateable, especially right now during finals week (I have 5 essays totaling at around 15k words, all must be submitted next week)

Jack:🎶Woah very close to a mental breakdown🎶 Also jack: lets make a 10 min video about it

More than one stress writing an essay last minute? Didnt realize vee kativhu’s new name is jack edwards lol

Professors: Don't write your essays during one day. You must take your time! Also Professors: This test has an 800-word essay section and the exam is 3 hours. Good Luck!

The struggle continues for centuries. Technology makes it all so much easier and your ability to organize research materials is really impressive. Fifty plus years ago I'd be sitting on the floor surrounded by note cards, photocopies of journal articles I hadn't gotten around to reading completely, and a stack of books I hadn't finished. Then after there was a written draft, I'd get to type it up (any error meant starting the page over), being careful to leave space for footnotes at the bottom of the page without going beyond the permitted margin. Pretty sure Gibbon faced forgotten deadlines at Magdalen (probably cursing that he couldn't find a servant to properly sharpen his pens and grind his ink).

"Is there so much waffle there that you've got the maple syrup out?" Lmao, gold! I'm stealing that quote if you don't mind!

Currently writing the outline for a 2000 word essay that's due in 11 hours. This video gave me strength.

In tHe PmMmM

no one: jack: in the *pmmm*

I saw you in Durham on Friday while I was busking on the bridge, I was going to say hi to you but I chickened out. I was so excited to see you I told everyone, I love your videos and have been looking out for you and I finally saw you yayyy ahaha

Wow this is actually motivating. Finished writing 2000 words in 1.5 hours. Didn't think I could do it. Thanks Edward 😉

Wow this really is Vee's influence

Yes! I've done this so many times and the key is to write down or type your thoughts and create a plan. Even if you dont feel like you have the time, you'll save LOTS of time by organizing your thoughts first. NEVER WING IT. Though, tbh, some of my greatest papers were from me winging it. But it's way less stressful the other way, trust.😗

3 years on and this video still doesn't fail to entertain me

“I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing” Why is that me throughout this whole semester so far...?

I have a 3000 word essay due in tomorrow at 10am. I have massive writers block. I understand the subject but it’s transferring that understanding in to real words which is proving to be the biggest challenge.

"its going swimmingly if we were jack in the titanic" i am subscribing as i type this comment

Teacher: “ I know it was due today but you can still turn it in tomorrow for full credit.”

*watches this instead of writing my essay that is due tomorrow*

I love that these types of videos are getting popular,, we d like to see more of these pls jack! :)

I've been staring at an essay question now for like 6 hours lmao. Just 12 left to go

This is sooo uplifting when you’re in the same situation. 😂

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve started a 2,000 word essay at like 1 am when it’s due at 9 am lol

as a alevel student this is SO HELPFUL to see what uni is like, and with me i do very heavy essay subjects so it’s nice to see a different perspective on essays ? cheers !

Ha ha ha love how you screamed into the pillow

Was about to start my essays but I’ll sit and watch jack instead

"It's going swimmingly if we were Jack in Titanic"

Me, with a 1500 word essay due in 90 mins and still hasn't finished reading: *chuckles* " I'm in danger"

It takes talent to turn such a stressful night into this relaxing a video

You are the light in my life at the moment, getting me through this year at uni

Here 15 seconds after it’s uploaded, is that too eager?

YAY ANOTHER EXCUSE TO PROCRASTINATE 🖐🏻😭👊🏻

0:45 such a *mood*

I have economics exam tomorrow but here I am watching Jack! I needed something to relax my mind and this popped up. Yay!

I looked up this playlist on spotify and it's so good!! thanks for sharing fellow all-nighter :)

Thanks! had an essay due in 6 hours and this helped tremendously.

Jack is taking a leaf from Vee’s book 🤣

Omw that handwriting is actually *idyllic*. I utterly love it!

Hey fellow procrastinators! Watch this video, then close the tab and do you work. You will be fine with whatever you are procrastinating about right now. Good luck! :)

Deriving some kind of a sadistic pleasure from this, while thinking about my essays which are due next week ;-;

coming back to this video because this is literally me right now: 11pm, 2k word essay due tmr, haven't started. only difference is that i'm watching this video instead of writing.

I have 3 weeks left to write my essay but have been very stuck on how to approach it. Your comment that you have done the research/have notes/have idea but don't know how you are going to write them resonates HARD. I finally got my introductory paragraph done and am going to try writing an abstract - thanks for the advice!

I never knew (until now) that you made the optimal focus playlist. I love it!!

i remember one deadline specifically where i just kept taking 10min naps whenever i started feeling even a little bit tired just so i could keep workflow and focus at optimal levels throughout the whole night,, never again jack, never again😫

I don't know why I'm sat watching this instead of finishing my own essay that was due yesterday.

Thanks for the tips that abstract thing is great! I have my literature essay due in 3 days and I'll definitely be using that! I hope you did well x

It is 12pm in the day, I have been up for 20 hours and just finished an exam which I largely prepped for last night. I have written so many essays overnight this year that this video makes me feel cozy. Somebody help.

Watching this while having 1000 words deadline in the next 3 days kinds of relaxing 😌

Watching this because it's 2:46am and I have an essay due tomorrow at 9am. Need to pretend I'm struggling with someone lmao

Me: *procrastinates doing my own 2,000 word essay I left till the day before to watch Jack do the same* 😳

i remember this video everytime i have a very, very extensive essay i have not started writing yet due in like two days and feel like i have no time. if jack could do it in four hours i can totally do it in more than that.

hey jack you can enable split screen on macbook by holding the enlarge button it means you won’t have to keep clicking back and forth to scroll

How exciting, my assignments are due 12pm tomorrow (10th August 2022). It’s a 3,000 word report and two 2,000 word essays. I’ve got no sources and no prep at all. I’m going to totally wing this. Wish me luck because this wasn’t a clever thing to do and I’m actually scared. :)

Wowww this took me right back to my uni days, and the stress I felt watching you was real! 😬

Hi Jack! That reminds me 2 days ago where I had to write 3.500 words in 2 days... I wasn't panicked until I started writing it. The past 2 days I slept only for 4 hours and 12 hours straight on pc before I finally deliver it. I was worried I wouldn't get the right amount of words, but I ended up having 500 more words. The typical part is done and I hope there is some meaning in it. (fingers crossed!!). Btw I use padlet for mapping out my essay structure and main points. It helps me a lot! Cheers! Keep it up!!

I feel you! I researched and wrote my 8 page essay starting from 11 p.m. and I finished around 7:30 a.m. ahhh it was rough!

I'm currently in 8th grade and I had to write a 1700 word essay about the french revolution and to what extent Louis XVI was responsible for the outbreak of the revolution. The teacher gave us weeks close to 1 to 1.5 months to prepare and write the essay. I did it all in one afternoon on the day it was due and ended up getting the second best grade lol.

Jack uploaded this at the perfect time, I am in the exact situation so I am using this for motivation

this is a mood rn

jack in his last video: i'm gonna stop procrastinating!! me: *sees the video title* are you sure about that?

“Everything is going swimmingly if I was jack from the titanic”

Oh my god Jack. I'm doing British Writing 1945 - present at Uni of Liverpool and we very recently did Brodie! Super interesting, slightly more effed up than what can be seen surface level. Congrats for getting this far into 3rd Year !

Jack I don't think you understand: I come back to this video literally every assignment season because I always leave them until the last week. It always gives me such motivation to actually do them hahahaha

I think it is stress that writes the best essays- Now I did not say 'refined' for extra time leads to revision. But the best essays are made the day before

Anyone else literally in the same situation? 😂😂

Well done!🤩 So inspiring!!

He did give himself little time & this honestly looked like pure hell, but I was also surprised by his optimism and organization. Even tho he wrote it this late, hearing what he did 2 keep flow & ideas on track makes me feel like he truly wrote something great 🔥 as someone writing my first 3k word essay and struggling with how to organize ideas & write clearly, this rly helped 😆 so Ty!

Watching this makes me so stressed. Even though I have a 3,000 word essay to write

Jack: it’s really important to stay organised, do good prep and research etc Also Jack: writes same said essay in 4 hours after leaving it last minute 🙈😂

You really helped me through my prelims so thx ❤️

watching this to motivate myself to work and finish my essay due in a few hours ://///
