Longest essay you've managed to write in 1 evening


Recommended Posts

I just finished a 3,100 word essay (seven page) that spanned over two days. The ones that take longer are the ones that I have to research. The longest I ever had to write was a ten page essay, but it took about the same amount of time because little research was involved.

I've graduated, but as an english major my average essay length was 2,800-3,200 words. My longest essays that I had to write were 4,300-4,500. I usually wrote everything in one night because I procrastinated a lot. I would usually be in bed by 2am, and would start to write at about 7:30-8pm (would get off work at 6:30, eat dinner, and then start figuring out what the heck I was writing). I pulled 4-7 allnighters in college. 3 of them were in a row (people started commenting that I looked like I was on the verge of death, lol).

I can regularly do 5k words in a night when im on a roll or having a moment of inspiration. I touch type at 75wpm with 98% accuracy so as long as I have the momentum and the inspiration, the quantity really isnt an issue, its concentrating on the quality that is important.

the longest in one night, I would have to say about 20+ pages. It was a paper on eCommerce.

the longest paper i have ever written would be approx. 100+ pages on a Internet Business plan.

These were done in University. From high school, I cant remember exactly, but i dont think I have ever wrote anything more than 20 pages.

In 12th grade I wrote a 24 page (roughly 6,000 word) essay on hacking the night before it was due.

It wasn't really all that bad, I started around 9pm and finished some where close to 3am. I think I even got an A or an A- on it. :yes:

In college, I wrote a 20 pager on MDMA the night before (Y). (Don't ever use MDMA by the way :pinch:)

Hmm, this year wrote a 35 page SWOT analysis (if your doing business you know what I'm talking about) on Apple computers in 3 days, also wrote a 60 page business plan for a luncheon I had to organize in about 4 days I believe...

Think 60 page was as much as I have ever wrote give or take, but have written quite a few this year...:/

Great.. :( And I want to major in business :(:(

i've been doing my papers the night before since the 7th grade..

in my high school and college years of English i've always done 3 - 5 full pages the night before.

the longest was a 30 page research paper i did on neuro surgery in the 11th grade the night before, including two personal interviews :p

Most people here don't seem to be REAL procrastinators. I myself have graduated from University and usually did my papers the night before they were due. Each semester I would have 2 essays that had to be 15-20pages with 30+ sources in the same week. I would start one the night before it was due and during the breaks, do the research for the other paper. My last year I had my 30 page senior Thesis due on Monday and I started it on Saturday.

well i did 3 papers last week, two due last tuesday and one on last thursday, and in the week span (more like 4 days) i managed to churn out a 2100 word paper, 3700 word paper and another 1700 word paper.... thats like 7500.... damn, shouldve started way earlier, but the mind tells me not to

and I thought I had a bad year this year, last week I managed to match this feat, 2 3000 words and a 1500.

Our high school english program was amazing. And by amazing I mean ridiculous. We had to write a 35 page term paper on a poem. :| I wrote it in three days and managed to get an A+. We had to have 100 sources. Obviously, I had gotten those sources prior to those three days.

Oh wow :|

I thought that my English was bad, but thats nothing compared to you. I had to do a 10 page screenplay this year, then write 2 essays analyzing it. :p

10,000 word essay, one night...

basically, i ran a stop sign i didnt see, fought it (admit with reason) because i had a perfect record to that point, judge had me write a 10k word essay on 'the hazards of driving' :p I am pretty sure they didnt read it, as i blamed police cars (especially when pulling someone over!) and billboards etc etc for causing problems on the road lol...this was...almost 6yrs ago

Well. I wrote 2700 words last night....my eyes are still blurry and watery....

a few weeks back I wrote 6000 words in one day....scary....

the first one was an essay, the second a report....

and **** happens!

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
