too much stress.

UGHHHH! I hate research papers! I always tell myself that the next one is going to be easier and I am actually going to make sure that I do little by little so I am crammed with having to do so much. But if feels no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to succeed with that and it always feels so stressful! I have all this research and most of it connects but I don’t know how it connect it properly so it flows smoothly. And to make it into my own words where I’m not just repeating the information is so hard. I don’t want my research to drown out my own voice but it’s so hard to do it feels like when its research.

And trying to write in a different way than what I’ve been taught is more difficult yet. Straying away from something I grew up how to do and then get to here and be told I have to change it all, really makes you lose a little hope. I want to just write my paper and get it over with. I have these ideas, now I just have to make them happen. But it seems like so much, and with everything else going on such as midterms, life seems so stressful. I feel that since I have to write in certain ways I am not used, that it’s going to be hurt my paper. I am worried that I am not going to do well on this paper. I have all my research, now I just need to figure out what I’m going to do with it all. I just ughhhh, I don’t even know. And not having specific guidelines either is difficult either because I am used to have strict guidelines and being told how to do a certain thing because with those guidelines I am able to make sure they are met so I can feel more satisified with my work.

So my question is there any advice you can give me in order to make my paper a better one such as guidelines or what you’
