This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UBC chapter.
It so happened this year that Reading Week fell right before the draft for my 40-page undergraduate thesis was due. At first I thought this make a good opportunity for me to finish it:
But then, as my living room became covered in papers, I realized my Reading Break was becoming a thesis-writing marathon.
And wondering how I’m ever going to make the required page count.
And wishing the darn thing would just write itself.
Finally I realized I had to pull myself together and just muscle through it.
I have to say goodbye to Reading Week, but at least it has allowed me to get some quality writing time in. I shall go forth and conquer the thesis!
