- I started writing my dissertation at university and it was STRESSFUL. I can't believe I'm in my final year at uni and even working on my diss, but here we are I guess. Enjoy this day in my life and welcome back to daily uploads :))

Jack: I don't want to finish my dissertation the night before it's due
Also Jack: *writes ENTIRE dissertation the week before it's due*
me: stresses over having to write 500 words
I'm 12 and Imma be honest i stress over 40 words
@@ArcticZombie ikr😌💖💅
Isse Hodman 💀💀 honestly tho same
That’s kinda sad dude
Bruh dyggggg???!!!
Six months later:
- he grew a non-patchy beard in March
- again, in March the world almost ended because of a pandemic
- and yes, the deadline might have been extended but he really wrote his diss the night before it was due (well, the week before, but still)
I was Jack I would consider being scared of myself...
Jack Edwards: Oh no I'm stressing OUT
also Jack Edwards: Hello YOutUbE tOdAy-
bless him
Jack talking about how the world might end in March is majorly triggering
Jack: "I might have grown a non-patchy beard in March"
March 2020: Coronavirus is a pandemic and all may/June exams are cancelled. 🙃
Writing my dissertation was really stressful and I had moments when I fully thought I couldn’t do it lol I did it man and I’m still proud of what I did. 12,000 words feels really overwhelming but a lot of us wrote over it. so don’t stress over word count the content is more important and you can always cut down. It’s better to cut out then have not enough! You probably know that already but it’s always good to be reminded! Good luck with it before you know it it’ll be done
Rewatching this in 2020 hearing Jack talk about all the things there could happen i march, is slightly ironic
To anyone writing an essay or diss or whatever and you wanna type up quotes from a book, i actually used a hanger (the thicker kind that has the teeth things, my god why is there no word for those but they're used for like skirts that kind of thing and they keep the item hung straight) and then I clipped one of the teeth things onto my laptop and one onto the book and then I can just look back and forth without having to open and close the book a million times, saved me a lot of time and effort so hope it helps anyone :)
I’ve always called them pants hangars
You are a lifesaver
I think your dissertation sounds really interesting, when it’s all finished do you think you could put it somewhere so people can read it? x
Did he end up doing that? x
Did he posted it?
I want to read it too
me: takes a break from 6 straight hours of working on my dissertation
jack:
whenever he says “diss” i’m like “so when is the studytube diss track coming out jack”
I was literally working on my dissertation right now and I stopped to watch your video, this is the content that I deserve and NEED!
Good luck with your dissertation ❤️
i LOVE these kind of videos. always makes me want to be super productive, any time of the day, really :)
My friends: so how’d the physics tests go?
Me: 1:53

I've just used this research log layout for my presentation, and it has been an absolute lifesaver. Thank you so much for sharing this!
omg this gives me flashbacks to this time last year writing my history dissertation! don't worry, you'll get through it!!!
Jack: I like doing things quite last minute
Me, with a 2000 essay due in friday morning (-2 days) that I haven't started: *m o o d*
If it makes you feel better, I’m a final year history undergrad and had a 3000 word essay due at 12pm which I started 8am that day! Lol
@@georgielane3617 it does, I know I can definitely do it but I can't promise it'll actually be good! I'm a 1st year undergrad & this is my 2nd essay, so far I am Not on top of my shit ahahaa
Jack's music on these vlogs are so nice 😩😩😩 like the feels, jack should be an lofi artist.
Make a schedule with deadlines for chapters, sections etc along the way, so its like writing 6 2000-word or 4 3000-word essays!
The title is a mood, hope youre doing alright❤️
Trying to work out what I find the most amusing: The thought of Jack going to see cabaret by himself... or the thought of Jack going to see cabaret with his grandmother...
Totally needed this, I have my Sociology first three chapters draft disso due this weekend! Here’s to not procrastinating, and from a fellow book nerd yes those book covers are pretty 📚
I'm seriously impressed on how much you managed to do in a day. I am writing my Bachelor Thesis (like the dissertation) right now. I am a student in Germany and I have to write between 35 to 70 pages so that roughly translates to the same.
And mine is also due at the end of March and I am super scared of it not being good or not finishing. I have to present my thesis on tuesday and still haven't finished reading my book and I don't know why, but it is extremely daunting to do everything.
My thesis is a gendered reading of Wuthering Heights with aspects to the society, the gothic and relationships (both romantic and family), so there is a lot, but I am just not motivated enough to do anything.
so I know exactly how you are feeling Jack!! And please let the content about your dissertation coming, it's going to help someone in the same situation :D
Evek4312 Ko wo studierst du? :)
Pia - Bonn..und du? :)
Evek4312 Ko Kannst du mir bitte Jacks Thema erklären? Irgendetwas mit Isherwood. Finde ich spannend, aber ich habe es nicht richtig verstanden.
Hi!!! Your topic sounds really interesting. I'm planning to apply in Germany for my master's in English Lit, would you like to guide me sometime?
Did you manage?
Gee thanks for waking up the ghosts of dissertations past. Kids are crying now
My thesis is also due in March and this video seems like a harsh reminder from CZcams to stop wasting my time and get to work. I have a 80-100 page dissertation and I've segregated my chapters and I presented my first draft last week (it was approved and appreciated!) but the most major difficulty I have been having is focusing with balancing between end semesters and applying for my Master's program and also continuous essays that are due. Choosing a non-literary topic didn't help much either, but I highly encourage anyone who wants to study media as their primary texts to try it! It's a very different experience. I'm working on Body Politics in Videogames, namely Bayonetta. Any words of help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you're reading this and in the process of writing a dissertation, good luck!
Anamika Kukreja good luck you can do it
i love watching these vlogs when im trying to get into the productive flow lol really need to catch up on some uni work rn
i’m just waiting for the HUGE video next summer that’s a review of the whole durham english lit experience;)
Hell yeah. I love Isherwood, though I definitely felt the same as you about Christopher and His Kind. The last part just drags!
My 2020 jackadamic planner arrived today! So so happy, and it came so fast! :) Good luck on yoir dissertation ;) i have a 150 pages master thesis to write next semester, I know the struggle 🙈
I actually love your videos xx
Binge hearing this kind of videos while I'm starting-doing-finishing? my project due for tomorrow. It give me hope, it give me strength 🥴✨
Kinda needed seeing as I’ve got to write an essay to take into my college interview in January
Ooohhh that research log sounds like a good idea. When writing my essays for uni I always loose where I find my quotes and loose so much time trying to find where I got the quotes from. Going to start using that idea so i can keep track 👍
I personally prefer using Mendeley or endnote. You can still do this sort of system but it also lets you do in-text citations quicker and will build your bibliography at the end.
My dissy was 13,000 and it was insanity, but you can and will do it. Diamonds are made under pressure my man
Can we just point out Jack was like “climate change could end the world by March” and Covid hit in March. Like literal March
please. going for a musical alone is the coolest thing. I want to.
edit: might be weird, but I love it when books in a series or ones that go together have non-matching covers. it's like each cover has a different artist's interpretation.
I REALLY WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHOLE "RESEARCH LOG" THING SOONER.
MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT EASIER.
- a fellow English Lit major
This is the most productive video I’ve EVER seen, I’ve never done this much work in one go in my entire life
Literally crying because I've don't all my note taking wrong LOVE THAT! 😭 Also feel the pain of a Diss super bad and having major regrets lol so done with uni...
Who knows what could happen in March, he says. 🙃🤦🏻♀️
omg I’m doing advanced higher English (scotland) but as part of that we need to write a dissertation and I feel you, it’s KILLING ME. I mean I feel bad cos yours is four times the length of mine, but genuinely this was just too relatable - good luck!
ps I’m writing on feminist and queer theory within ‘to kill a mockingbird’ and ‘the color purple’, not that you’re probably interested but I just like telling people who actually know what I’m talking about :)))
good luck !!! pls don't leave it til the last minute !!!!! sounds like at this rate you'll be absolutely fine though. do you have to hand in a hard copy/bind it at all? i had to submit it online and in hard copy which was an added stress so make sure you allow for that nearer the time ! also the library will obvy get busier as you get closer to march so don't forget that, good luck !!!!!!!!
This video is the biggest mood, and I can't get over how much I love the title😂
This makes me stressed and I'm not even the one writing it lol
I broke my laptop yesterday with 400 of my 800 word essay due next Friday (amongst what feels like a million other things due) along with all my references. AHHHHH back to the drawing board with the whole essay and it counts towards my overall mark for the module as well. Working on it though. But I also have a group presentation, two tests and another essay due not to mention year abroad research. December is not a fun month
Ailsa Maclaren oof I hope all goes well ✨
Always backup your work using a cloud service (google, Dropbox, etc.). I usually use multiple backups. I use my laptop hard drive, an external, and at least either google or Dropbox (sometimes both). And always save to your backups after working on each. I save everything to multiple places (including all my references).
Jack saying that the world could have ended in March LOL accurate much
Its quite a DISS. With all the name dropping in apa👌
This is really good to watch whilst doing my dissertation! It's really good motivation to not leave it to the last minute 😂
'i thought id write about ts elliot and then i researched it and decided no' i wish this was me before i chose the wasteland for alevel coursework
That moment when you realise that when you start Durham next year Jack won’t be there...
Becca Grace I’m pretty sure he’s doing a phd as well?
My friend and I were just talking about this! What subject have you applied for?
hahahhaaha
Georgia Jones law
You?
Thats ME!
I needed this last week when my 4000 word history coursework first draft as due 😂 mine ended up being 6000 words which was a slight issue 😂
Is it even a Jack Edwards vlog without a pun in the title? I think not.
Can you pretty please do more vids on dissertation work? Because I’m doing mine next year and I study English too but I am literally so worried about it. I can’t even get my head round it. Whatever kind of help would be very very helpful
you look professional! Amazing! I have been doing my thesis and it is distressful! God save me! I have already passed my first dead line and my extension is about to get finish! So, everybody send me some prayers and positive energy!
Asma Ur Rahman I hope you’re managing to get it finished before the extended deadline! Sending you some motivation and mental energy!
@@WeepingWill0w thank you! god bless you!
I’m pretty sure the tune on 4:50 or sth was in a video before when you were going through Plath’s poems in your first or second year what seems like a while ago. I mean, that’s funny(and scary) how quickly time goes.
jack in dec 2019 : idk what i’ll be thinking next week, let alone in mARCH
me, watching in sept 2020 : fam, you have NO idea what’s coming :PPP
So cool! Watching this as inspiration and I'm doing a dissertation on race and class as sources of shame at University!
I’ve had various diss topics for proposal which I thought were good ideas so I bring it to my tutor and he just tells me I need more specific topics. Now I’m rethinking the whole thing and freaking out.
You have made me even more thankful that I am a joint honours student so I do not have to do a dissertation. My third year is definitely less stressful than my friends.
Hey :) you could also include a philosophical view on shame/otherness etc. For instance you could use a text called "shame" by Jean Paul Sartre :)
Watching this instead of writing my own thesis
I’m currently going to a French high school and boy do they love dissertations 🤦🏼♀️
me: laughs in dissertation is optional
in all seriousness tho,, 1200 words is no joke, i barely survived the 5000 of my EPQ
SAME but catch me complaining when exams roll around...
watching while filling out my postal vote!! ✅✅✅
intro is a *phat* mood
12,000 believe me isnt a lot of words- speaking from an MA student I promise it’s ok 😉😉👍🏻
You have to include his friends, Auden and Stephen Spencer
I just finished the research monograph we have to write in my course, 25 thousand words, my brain cells are tired!
I did English. I love Goodbye to Berlin. Sally is such an amazing character
I feel youuuuu! My dissertation I think had around 17.000 or 19.000 words ;( goooood luck!!
There's a good BBC drama of Christopher and His Kind starring Matt Smith, and also a film version of A Single Man starring Colin Firth. Get on Amazon!
Little did he know that there would be a quarantine in March..... Hahahaha 😭
Feel so lucky my degree doesn't require a dissertation
@@abigailcairns4896 French and German BA
@@abigailcairns4896 what job do you want to do?
@@abigailcairns4896 if you enjoy psychology and especially a particular area, you'll enjoy a PhD so don't worry about it! Make sure you do an EPQ in college so you can practice witting a big essay. Good luck!
@Alexified I did a BA in French and German and didn’t have to do a dissertation (it was optional in fourth year as instead of another module)... but then I did a masters where my diss was 15,000 words 😂
@@emmacd6515 i absolutely hate essay writing so im so glad i dont have to do a dissertation 😂 definitely not picking it as a module. What was your masters if you don't mind me asking?
Year guy, I pass for this last year... I "loved" to pass my saturday nights write a dissertation.... but in the final (at least 5 days before the apresentation, I send the document for the Teachers (avaliators) )
Looking forward to doing a final film instead of a dissertation for my degree
Live you xxxx
I put the EMO in emotive language...
that's a joke but you're welcome hhee
Not me stressing over having to write my 5 000 word bachelor thesis in a week. The problem is my research partner (who had one single job that I didn't double check: copy pasting the right psychological questionnaire into our online survey before we went on to the neurological testing. Suprise, suprise, even given the authors, year and version, she used a completely wrong questionnaire) accidentally messed up my entire concept and argumentation. So I just started my literary research. But at least all the data work is done already 😅. I am so screwed
ahh JACK UPLOADED!! 🥳😆
it actually seems like a really interesting, I looked up Christopher and his kind and I love the idea. go deep into some lgbt podcasts, websites, etc and you'll find some stuff to help I reckon. good luck bro.
Well
I wonder if we can read it? When you are done with it? Sound so cool!
Ok let's get one thing right - the kid is freaking cool.
Jack saying he has no idea what might happen in March😂 watching this know about Corona and everything is interesting aha
I do biomedical science and for my dissertation (I live in Belgium and I have to write a "thesis" (literal translation), and I'm just going to assume it's the same as a dissertation) I have to write a massive 15.000-word research paper and conduct my own ORIGINAL experiment. But I am a literal child and should not be allowed to make up her own experiment and do it on her own!
I'm doing biomedical sciences in September. Got any tipd
This didn't age well 6:01 on about the world ending damn
You can do it Jackk
I go to Durham Sixth form centre aha. Hope u get it done!
I'm fourth year at uni in Glasgow doing my English diss on death and grief in children's literature... WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!! Mine's only 8,000 words tho lol
I stress over writing my own name bro.
I only just got ethical approval to start creating my questionnaire never mind collecting data and writing it. Ahhhh. I love psychology... sometimes
I had to do my capstone business plan in 3 months for this term and it was sTRESSFUL lol so over college
I was supposed to hand the first chapter of my bachelor paper by Friday. I haven't even started. Yikes!
i love how i just imagined this entire video was preparing for an english lit diss track
i connect to this energy on a spiritual level unfortunately.
I'm stressed 😣I have English Literary criticism Exam tomorrow. Uni exams are killing me😭😭
My Masters dissertation was 17,000 words and I had the entire summer to work on it - my law school wouldn't let us do anything for it before then
Have a look and see if other students have done a thesis on this guy and they might give you some ideas as well to follow up with. To get through it set yourself some goals ie every Wednesday is Diss Day and you need to complete a certain amount of words - this is what I did and it helped except mine was 18,000 words.
literally sitting here writing this essay: explore the methods tishani doshi uses to express ideas on gender roles and discrimination in the deliverer- english a level love it but hate it 😂also love ur content jack keep it up
Yeah I know the feeling i am also in third year and mine is 27,500 words think yourself lucky you have 12,000
