...under the pressure of "now or never." Gotta be now.

I felt thoroughly validated during my last semester of grad school, back in Dec 81, when I researched, wrote and typed up 4 papers in 8 days, and got As on all of them. "See," I said to myself, "you were right all along!"

Besides laughing a lot, this talk gave me a few helpful insights; particularly the impactful nature of DEADLINES upon my own motivation.

Host consensus is this OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:

Discuss politics, issues, and current events.

This would be fine in the Lounge.
