Ideas on Relieving Stress During Finals

2008-07-07T12:39:00.000-07:00

Final exams. Ugh. Nobody likes them…well, except for that girl who sits in the front row and always raises her hand. She likes. You know she does. She probably waits all semester just to take final exams. But enough about her. What we’re interested in is what to do to cut down on stress and help make finals less painful.

The best way to keep the stress off during finals is to not let it build up in the first place. This may seem unrealistic now, but if you work hard all semester and try to make sure you understand all the material and have a good grasp on key concepts, then the final exam should be a breeze. Of course, that doesn’t always happen, and that’s how finals got their reputation for being stressful in the first place.

So, let’s assume that you need some serious study time to help you remember whatever it was the professor was teaching you six weeks or fifteen weeks ago…you know, ancient history. The key to relieving stress is to make sure that studying doesn’t become your whole world during finals week.

Now, I’m not saying that you need to space out on Facebook and completely forget about hitting the books, but you need to try to achieve balance to keep from overloading. For every hour you spend studying, take 10-15 minutes for a stress relieving activity, like throwing the Frisbee, updating your online profile, or goofing off with a friend. However, be sure that you have the willpower to go back to the books when your 15 minutes are up. Get an old fashioned egg timer and set it for 15 minutes so you’ll stay on schedule.

Balancing work and play will help keep you sharp, focused, and relaxed enough to go into finals with confidence.

Fighting writer's block... we all get it. Real strategies to combat this illness.

2008-04-23T12:04:00.001-07:00

I wanted to do a post about writer’s block, but it turns out, ironically enough, that I didn’t really have anything to say about it. When I get stuck in a situation where the words aren’t coming out, I just start typing and eventually I fill up enough space and it starts to come together. However, the rules for filling up a blog and for producing high quality writing for publication or academic credit are a little different, so the fill-the-page technique won’t probably work for you.

So what do you do? Well, you’re in luck. I’ve trolled the internet and examined the first page of Google links to find out what to do about writer’s block. Here’s what I’ve learned.

• Some people say you should start talking to a stuffed animal, action figure, or other inanimate object. Though this looks silly, the idea behind it is that talking out loud can help you process your thoughts and develop your ideas, giving you inspiration.

• Others recommend starting out by tackling a small detail and then building out from there. Is there part of your essay or project that’s easier than the rest? Try doing that first then link it to what comes before and after.

• Go out. Try dragging your laptop to the park, or to a café, or the library. A change of setting can stimulate you, or at the very least you’ll feel like you need to get typing so all the other people won’t make fun of you.

• Try writing something else. Start a short story. Write a poem. As soon as you start getting words on paper, you’ll start thinking about the brilliant way you should be attacking the project you’re not working on right now.

So, now that you know how to avoid writer’s block, how will you stop your logorrhea?

Writing Emergency Essays - A Writer's Experience

2008-03-04T15:16:00.000-08:00

I am continuously amazed by the speed in which our “truly amazing” writers can deliver top quality work. I thought this would be a great opportunity to show our customers and potential customers a glimpse of what the situation looks like from the writer’s point of view. Here is their account:

How We Write Emergency Essays at Essay Experts
There is no secret formula to how we write emergency essays at Essay Experts; we simply put all of our energy and focus into producing a quality essay in a short amount of time. In most cases, this means accessing online material and drawing upon personal knowledge to construct a basic framework that then becomes the framework for the form the essay will take. When all is said and done, Essay Experts writers are more committed to “getting the job done” than their competitors. In my own case, I recently did an emergency essay about Canadian politics in which I used my knowledge about Canadian history as a starting-point for completing the work; keeping notes on hand about many topics is an excellent means for laying the groundwork for a thesis and overall argument. As a writer, I try to be as diversified as possible and a voracious reader – all of that helps me have at least a passing acquaintance with almost any subject that I might have to write about quickly and under a tight deadline.

Before ending, I just want to add that I have always found it a good idea to have a basic thesis in mind before starting the work. Not everyone agrees with this approach, but I find that having a basic “outline” gives me a measure of coherence and clarity when I start to write; it also helps if you shut off the television, turn down the radio and find a quiet place wherein you work without disruption; emergency essays are rarely the sorts of things that lend themselves to being completed in distracting environments. In any case, hard work and total commitment is what separates Essay Experts writers from the rest of the pack.

There is a difference between writing an emergency essay on a simple English class versus one that involves examining tough micro economic formulas. Our rates may vary depending on the difficulty of the exact paper but rest assured that our quality does not vary from subject to subject. We’ll deliver a quality essay on your topic of choice when you call Essay Experts at any of our three locations. Speak to one of our Academic Advisors today!

A Quick and Easy Way to Improve Your Thesis Statements

2008-01-23T13:43:00.000-08:00

Many instructors report that their students have trouble developing strong thesis statements for their papers. Too often, it’s hard for them to tell what an essay is trying to do until they get to the end. And if they don’t know, they give lower grades. That’s why it’s important to signal to the reader what your essay is going to be about. To do that you need to learn the secrets to a strong thesis statement, and this article will show you how.

First, the basics: What is a thesis statement? A thesis statement is a sentence (usually at the end of the first paragraph of the essay) that tells the reader what your essay will demonstrate or prove. In other words, it sums up your main idea and indicates what you will discuss.

Now, how do you make a strong thesis? There are a few tips and tricks:

1. Be specific. Don’t just say “The Holy Roman Empire did not become a modern nation.” Say why.

2. Think about what your essay is about. Tell the reader what your essay will show and the major pieces of evidence you will use to do it. Let’s revise our example from above: “The Holy Roman Empire failed to become a modern nation-state because it had a weak central government, religious divisions, and competition from nobles who formed their own nations within it.” Here you can see what the essay is about and the three topics it will use to prove the point.

3. Lastly, write a temporary thesis and then return to polish it after you finish the paper. Often, your conclusion will help show you what your paper really demonstrated or proved and can help you develop a stronger thesis.

Applying these tips and tricks can help you generate stronger and more focused thesis statements. Your instructors will thank you for it later when it comes time to give out grades!

Hands Down … Our Writers Make the Difference!

2008-01-11T11:01:00.000-08:00

Taking a line from one of Canada’s entertainment giants Bret “Hitman” Hart and his staple moniker …: I’m the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

I feel the same way he did about himself in that quote as I do about my writers. In fact, I’m pretty blatant about letting it be known that my writers are the best in the business.

Several points play a factor in my determination and faith in this belief. My core group of writers has been with me for years - in fact, some have known me longer than some of my good friends! During these years, my writers have written countless documents in their field of specialty and also expanded their horizons as demand has increased into obscure fields. They’ve written through storms, power outages, crazy-season, family problems and time passing. Through all of this, they’ve remained loyal and provided nothing but excellent copy and creative ideas for me. Clients don’t understand the effort that goes into our papers; some of them think that some expert just whips it up. This is so far from the truth.

It takes a special person to be able to do what our academic writers do. Many writers think they can easily write term papers. Then they realize it’s not as easy as it looks but that it takes a special breed of writer to do what we do and not go broke. My search for writers is constant. Our client base continues to grow and I’m always looking to hone in new talent.

One thing my writers can count on me for is loyalty. I’m loyal to my writers and I show this a couple of ways: First of all, they work year round for us. There are some essay companies whose writers work once or twice a week. Our writers write on a daily basis – even when summer comes around. Secondly, I make sure that our writers are writing in their field of specialty … at Essay Experts we assign our work to our writers. This is different from what most services do (offshore chop-shops and some North American services as well) once an order is taken, they allow writers to go and fetch their work. The first problem with this is that writers hate it when something they like is posted and someone else quickly grabs it. This creates a feeding frenzy type atmosphere for writers; having them vie for their food much like a herd of animals would a carcass … in this case, the writer with the fastest internet connection always seems to win.

Although our process takes a bit longer, writers love us for it; and the proof is in the work they do. For a while, about 4 years ago, we experimented with the feed-frenzy technique and found that quality dipped and revisions jumped dramatically. PLUS, new writers wouldn’t stick around.

We pay our writers religiously twice a month and most of them have stuck with us because the alternative has been working for other services and not being paid properly for their work. We allow our writers to accept or decline work as well. This gives them the ultimate responsibility of delivering quality work in the time frame provided. In the 10 years our service has existed, our writers have a strong tendency to stick with us, and we like it this way because, ultimately, our clients benefit.

One thing our clients should understand is that our writers, however genius they are, are still human and if you’re requesting a revision, please understand that they do their best, but this sometimes happens, and that they will do their best to correct their mistakes. One way to speed things up, is to be specific. Our goal is to make students more productive in their writing. Many of our clients have approximately 7 term papers assigned per term, and they’ll inevitably be stuck on one of them and not know how the heck to start or what to do. When this happens, they usually order the toughest one from us so that, by the time they whip through their own 6 papers, the one we’ve created is ready for them. Is there a topic we can’t handle? Probably not … my writers are continually amazing me and I’m forever loyal and thankful to them.

Here are some things that set us apart from other writing companies:

- Loyalty to our writers and to our clients

- Writers know their payments will always be on time

- Writers receive fair payment

- Personally assigning work

- The vast majority of term paper companies, including North American ones, let anyone just pick up the work and complete it

- On-time delivery

- We have a close relationship with our writers

- Personal accountability

- We’ve existed for 10 years and our writers have grown with us

- You can expect better quality from us because we have a North American office and every one of our writer are native English speakers

- Our team of writers will always be one of the most important parts of our business

- We give the same answer to students who call us about obscure topics and subjects – we’ve done it all.

You can count on us to deliver quality work time and time again.

Our writers understand the need to satisfy our clients’ requests and when writers don’t, I quickly press them to understand the need to change that attitude if they’re going to stick around.

Clients have to understand that writers are only human. When requesting revisions politeness always works best and is more likely to get you the desired outcome.

Clients who love the work we do, see the true value in ordering our service because they understand that our service is not a dictation writing service. Our service is the best in the business and, when properly used, will help you gain another perspective on your essay topic, give you ideas about how to write your own and, most importantly, make you more productive during your academic career. If you’re in Canada call us at 1-877-974-8398 or if you’re in the United States at 1-866-377-2975 and we can help you with any subject.
