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

Jack Edwards: Oh no I'm stressing OUT also Jack Edwards: Hello YOutUbE tOdAy-

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 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 :)

whenever he says “diss” i’m like “so when is the studytube diss track coming out jack”

me: takes a break from 6 straight hours of working on my dissertation jack:

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!

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

i LOVE these kind of videos. always makes me want to be super productive, any time of the day, really :)

omg this gives me flashbacks to this time last year writing my history dissertation! don't worry, you'll get through it!!!

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 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 ❤️

The title is a mood, hope youre doing alright❤️

Hell yeah. I love Isherwood, though I definitely felt the same as you about Christopher and His Kind. The last part just drags!

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

Make a schedule with deadlines for chapters, sections etc along the way, so its like writing 6 2000-word or 4 3000-word essays!

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;)

Jack's music on these vlogs are so nice 😩😩😩 like the feels, jack should be an lofi artist.

I actually love your videos xx

Kinda needed seeing as I’ve got to write an essay to take into my college interview in January

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*

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 🥴✨

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 🙈

Gee thanks for waking up the ghosts of dissertations past. Kids are crying now

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...

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 👍

My thesis is also due in March and this video seems like a harsh reminder from KZfaq 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!

This video is the biggest mood, and I can't get over how much I love the title😂

My dissy was 13,000 and it was insanity, but you can and will do it. Diamonds are made under pressure my man

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...

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

Its quite a DISS. With all the name dropping in apa👌

Who knows what could happen in March, he says. 🙃🤦🏻‍♀️

This is really good to watch whilst doing my dissertation! It's really good motivation to not leave it to the last minute 😂

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 😂

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 !!!!!!!!

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 :)))

So cool! Watching this as inspiration and I'm doing a dissertation on race and class as sources of shame at University!

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

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.

This is the most productive video I’ve EVER seen, I’ve never done this much work in one go in my entire life

Can we just point out Jack was like “climate change could end the world by March” and Covid hit in March. Like literal March

Live you xxxx

watching while filling out my postal vote!! ✅✅✅

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 :)

intro is a *phat* mood

I go to Durham Sixth form centre aha. Hope u get it done!

I did English. I love Goodbye to Berlin. Sally is such an amazing character

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

'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

Is it even a Jack Edwards vlog without a pun in the title? I think not.

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!

This makes me stressed and I'm not even the one writing it lol

Jack saying that the world could have ended in March LOL accurate much

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.

I feel youuuuu! My dissertation I think had around 17.000 or 19.000 words ;( goooood luck!!

You can do it Jackk

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

I had to do my capstone business plan in 3 months for this term and it was sTRESSFUL lol so over college

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!

I’m currently going to a French high school and boy do they love dissertations 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well I wonder if we can read it? When you are done with it? Sound so cool!

12,000 believe me isnt a lot of words- speaking from an MA student I promise it’s ok 😉😉👍🏻

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.

I just finished the research monograph we have to write in my course, 25 thousand words, my brain cells are tired!

Watching this instead of writing my own thesis

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 to include his friends, Auden and Stephen Spencer

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.

Looking forward to doing a final film instead of a dissertation for my degree

Jack saying he has no idea what might happen in March😂 watching this know about Corona and everything is interesting aha

Yeah I know the feeling i am also in third year and mine is 27,500 words think yourself lucky you have 12,000

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) )

You’re gorgeous btw 😍😍

i connect to this energy on a spiritual level unfortunately.

Lmao I'm watching this in April 2020 and damn you are right there was no way you could predict what is currently happening right now

I only watched 3 of your videos and I couldn't help but subscribe. The funny thing is that I am not even an English Literature student {Science boiiiiii}.

That moment when you realise that when you start Durham next year Jack won’t be there...

This didn't age well 6:01 on about the world ending damn

I'm stressed 😣I have English Literary criticism Exam tomorrow. Uni exams are killing me😭😭

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 only just got ethical approval to start creating my questionnaire never mind collecting data and writing it. Ahhhh. I love psychology... sometimes

It's almost March ! :o

me: laughs in dissertation is optional

I was supposed to hand the first chapter of my bachelor paper by Friday. I haven't even started. Yikes!

Ok let's get one thing right - the kid is freaking cool.

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

How do you sticky note your books? ❤❤

Little did he know that there would be a quarantine in March..... Hahahaha 😭

The way he had no idea what would happen to the world by march.... whelp 🙊

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

I stress over writing my own name bro.
