slowrabbitstudies’ research essay writing guide

pls note i’m a humanities/law student so this is just what I find most useful in these areas. other fields such as natural sciences, business etc. may be different!

Part 1: Planning 

for me this is the most important stage of the essay writing process.

why? because here you are:

creating a timeline and plan for the research process

ensuring that your project is consistent

identifying and solving any knowledge issues

preparing for all the other stages

Part 2: Researching & Sorting

Part 3: Writing

Part 5: Polishing

Part 6: The Final Touches

hope this was useful! any questions? drop them below...!

wow! i can’t believe it! i made it to mid-sem break :D

I DID IT!!

before the break i had a case law test which was worth 30%. i was really worried about it bc i felt like because i had been depressed this term i didn’t study enough but i think i did well enough on the test. i also had some chinese tests but they weren’t worth too much and i don’t find chinese too difficult so that was alright too.

in two weeks i have a statute law test, also worth a similar amount to the case law test. better study up for that!

it’s me! i return again,

see? i made no promises about posting reguarly.

i’ve really been struggling this first half of the semester (which wraps up this week). in fact, this year as a whole has really been challenging for me. for one, moving away from home for the first time. i then lost my grandmother to cancer in april, which was really difficult for me and also caused a lot of family tension. now, we’ve had another loss on the otherside of the family.

in some ways i know deep down that i moved away because i couldn’t handle everything. the pressure. the death. my family’s suffocation. i know that’s selfish, but it is also self preservation. i miss my parents (and my cat) dearly. 

i think a lot of studyblr fails to acknowledge that sometimes, life sucks. it really does. and the last thing you want to do is have a 12 hour study day and wake up early in the morning. sometimes going to 3 out of the 5 uni days is a victory that i’m satisfied with. i know i’m trying my best, and i know what i’m capable of but right now i’m not in the right space to be pressuring myself academically.

right now, watching some re-runs of the simpsons and having a hot chocolate is just enough.

i’ve been so busy with my summer paper! since i’m doing a double degree (Law and a BA) i thought it would be a good idea to get some extra credits in. my last assignment was due today, it was a research proposal. now i’ve really got time to rest- two months!

also here’s some yoghurt and muesli i assembled
