5 Ways to Elongate Your Essay (or How to Get through the Semester without Crying)

recently, i had the task of writing two different essays over the weekend. lemme tell you, it was a long weekend. i spent night and day trying to reach my certain word or page count. here are 5 tips that i learned for how to half ass your way through the semester!

1. try to repeat sentences, but with different wording. for example, "the dog is brown." can be repeated as "the brown dog had interesting colored fur." get what i mean? like repeat things, but don't repeat things.

2. add as many details as you f*cking can. make that sh*t accurate. "the dog had a corduroy brown fur with coffee saturated highlights that sparkled like fireflies in the wind."

3. if you literally cannot think of any words, go back into your notes and just copy them into sentences. for example, let's say one note says, "The Alien War - from 2332 to 3223" or something along those lines. just copy that as a sentence into your essay. "The Alien War went from 2332, when they first invaded, to 3223, when the millionth Treaty of Paris was signed." (literally it seems like there are a ton of those and i don't know why)

4. be kind of obvious. add those details and sentences that are like, "The Alien War is the first intergalactic war that has taken place on Earth." you know?

5. last but not least, try to use lists. for example, "there are three major reasons why the Alien War was started. the first is..."

these tips may or may not help on your quest to find and capture all the legendary Pokemon, but i'm sure that they will help you write essays that you really don't want to write.
