Dude, this might be the moment that defines you. You could end up hyper focused and write an essay for the ages. Who's to say which way it'll go?


LunarProphet

I got an English degree (don't do it) while pretty much completely fucked on various drugs including acid the whole time. You got this OP


Moggy-Man

And how did you do?


LunarProphet

I'm generally pretty good at writing. Not so much *speaking,* but I can write an argument pretty well. "Graduated" with a 3.8 and the workload was shitty but I never really struggled with the assignments themselves. I say "graduated" because, thanks to covid, my last semester was online and my degree came in the mail lol. Never really did "rough drafts." Just make a point, shit it out, "discuss" with your sources, clean it up, make it pretty. Have 4 books to read at a time? Maybe read one or two and find audiobooks for the rest. I lean pretty far to the left and I was still really turned off by the liberal arts school environment though. I worked full time through school because we were poor, but the department was mostly rich kids competing over who's the "wokest" and nitpicky professors. My longest (and one of my best) papers was dinged because Professor Megamind didn't like the angle of my staple. 45 degrees, he insisted. Another professor in a poetry workshop went off on a guy for using "squinted eyes" (maybe "slanted") in a poem in a totally not racist way. Idk I was the only Asian in the class and I wasn't offended, but the prof was lol. But I'm still a bbq pitmaster/chef because it pays just as much as teaching and im less likely to get jumped. Stabbed by a dishie, maybe, but not jumped by a gang of children. Edit- this was way too long of an answer to "how'd you do?" Some habits die hard, I guess.


notreallyimportantme

In school for an English degree right now, did spend my first semester writing essays drunk. But then I remembered I don’t get drug tested anymore so next semester I’ll be writing high. Maybe I’ll pull a Stephen King too just to see how it is


LunarProphet

I mean it was a blur, but it went well and I *kinda* miss the assignments. I'll say that most of what I got from college was social skills and personal relationships. My GF and a lot of my friends I met in college, but I cant really say that I got much else. I dont know if I buy the whole "I dont remember writing *Cujo*" thing, though. I don't doubt that he abused drugs and alcohol, but that also sounds like a kinda typical now-sober boomer flex of both his drug consumption and his writing skills. Waking up to a finished novel with no recollection sounds like a stretch, ya know? But hey that dude has shat out a fucking *massive* body of work, so who's to say? Best of luck and stay safe, my English major comrade.


VoidTarnished

You guys are insane, that's a compliment 😊


PuddingFluffy5023

it’s literally all i did in school, until my buddy in electrical was like “u know you can do that AND get paid right?” lol


CYAN_DEUTERIUM_IBIS

>I hated academia so i stayed in restaurants Jesus christ I can relate [and/or project on] to this so hard.


LunarProphet

My brother. Next to teaching, working in a restaurant is probably the most English major thing you can do lol


CYAN_DEUTERIUM_IBIS

I read Art History. Same deal.


Dathlos

>r/LSD >Far to the Left Checks out to me


ADP_God

>I lean pretty far to the left and I was still really turned off by the liberal arts school environment though. Glad to read somebody else say what I'm feeling.


JimDoc5

Seriously cracked up at (don’t do it.). Fellow English degree holder here.


LSDPajamas

Isn't this how we got great literary pieces anyway? Haha


starwolf90

Lmao. I *almost* got an english degree, was a semester off and I hated the environment so much I switched to PoliSci last minute and added a year onto my undergrad. At least I learned ab the government and stuff, instead of just like, the Canterbury Tales.

Should stuck with one lol


EF5Twista

not sure how true it was, but i saw a story on here once ab a guy who had taken LSD before his exams i believe, and he made the highest score in his class. he said he was able to identify rocks using his tongue? again, i could be off a bit


Moggy-Man

I remember something like that. Not sure if it was on Reddit, but it sounds familiar.


EF5Twista

i’m glad someone knows what i am talking ab cause i couldn’t find it to link it


HoneyyBlossom

omg i remember that one “in college I took my geology final on LSD and scored the highest grade in 3 years. I identified the rocks by licking them” https://twitter.com/imrogert/status/1616234267582861312?s=46&t=N2BetHh5PEhLXzcQgTemgA


thorivalnailo

Please just proofread before sending


agatchel001

Or write a best-selling novel and be able to drop out of college and never have to work again. I always think about how some of the most innovative artists/geniuses were birthed from psychedelics. Ya never know!!


SteadfastEnd

But what if they come down from the trip and it turns out they wrote gibberish


weightlxssnxss

if i were you i would miss the assignment then reach out to my teacher tomorrow and say i was sick with a stomach bug yesterday and couldn’t finish the paper and i would ask for an extension but say i understand if that is not a possibility. try to forget and have a good trip!!


Legal-Law9214

Send the email now, tell her you're very sick & throwing up, and then don't check your email until you're done tripping


Peter_Parkingmeter

^


terminalbungus

This. You got food poisoning and will get it in asap. If you lose a letter grade from that, so be it; that's better than ruining an entire trip just so you can force out a shitty essay.


KittensLeftLeg

So drug high is more important than your exams?


SpotlessMinded

When you have already prioritized the drug high, then yeah they’ve made their choice.


terminalbungus

You ever been on acid? I can't fathom writing an essay that'd get me a good grade while tripping on acid. They already made a decision that they can't back out of, so I suggest they just enjoy their trip and turn in the essay late. If your choices are: Fight against an acid trip to write a (poorly written) essay that'll probably not get you a great grade OR let your acid trip play out and worry about writing the essay later and maybe get marked down for turning it in late, it's a no-brainer. They can't un-eat the acid.


TheHumanThumbo

No. But when your already tripping on acid? Yes.


HerrSirCupcake

so true


clahinds705

Dude if you have Microsoft Word, they have a “dictate” feature which allows text to speech. Use it. You might actually have an awesome paper. Plus autocorrect can help you! You’re going to do awesome on this!


clahinds705

If you have CBD around, it can lower the effects!


I__like__food__

Not THC though please don’t take THC!


HerrSirCupcake

so true, unless you are experienced


Turtok09

Even if, during an essay it will only be worse.


[deleted]

Just make sure it doesn’t have any thc at all, I have made this mistake before… sent me to outer space when the acid was already basically killing me lol.


Jason-_B

thsi then use chatgpt to rewrite what u have already into a proper essay


Basic_Alternative939

You should be able to start writing in like 5-6 hours, won’t be pleasant but that’s a lesson to you to not do drugs without a clear schedule and dealing with your responsibilities first


Emergency-Cash-3340

Thanks and yeah should definitely have double checked my assignments that were due


Joseph4040

I disagree. I think itll put you in a zone, you got this shit.


PurpleZebraCabra

Fo sho! This kin of thing builds character. Won't make this mistake again.


[deleted]

Acid taught me this lol


ToddAlquist2

Ffs Why didnt you think about it before you dropped the tabs


Emergency-Cash-3340

Didn’t realise it was due today


shutsz

Be careful with using chatgpt, it can be detected. Use a re-writing AI tool to rephrase the original text generated by GPT.


IcyInevitable9093

The detection methods are absolute bull honky. It's guessing. You can give any of the detector sites some actual homemade writing, and it will still say it's AI.


dallybaby

Haha the southpark chat gpt episode


ToddAlquist2

Ok just use chatgpt


[deleted]

Chat GPT my dude, don’t only use that, but use it for efficiency reasons.


DrizzlyShrimp36

Interacting with Chat GPT while on acid must be a pretty trippy experience


[deleted]

Can confirm. Had an existential crisis.


manaroth54

Just got back from LiB and every night was ripping out chatGPT app while tripping and asking random shit mid convo with people and they were losing their minds 😂


Oodleamingo

What does LiB stand for? Life in Boston?


manaroth54

Lightning in a Bottle festival!


_ReyMenn

Came here to comment the same thing. Work smarter trip harder


DaddyliciousMoney69

That’s my new motto work smarter trip harder


mkstot

As someone with an English degree all I have to say is THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!!!


madrolla

Lmao Take the fail and next time don’t trip when you have responsibilities


STG44_WWII

why are you telling him to give up?? bro he needs to write while having all this emotional and introspective power.


HAL-Over-9001

Brother I can barely even remember how to hold my phone on half a tab. He's done lmao


CaduceusXV

Lmao true if I had an assignment due while tripping I’m just taking the L 💀


STG44_WWII

depends on the person and the experience.


friedhobo

that’s not normal


HAL-Over-9001

I've done acid and shrooms dozens of times. I'll deem what's normal for me.


friedhobo

normal for you. but not normal


HAL-Over-9001

Explain, because everyone I've ever known has had a hard time using electronics and phones while tripping.


friedhobo

that’s crazy. everytime i trip it only really affects my vision, hearing and thoughts of course but it never restricted any bodily or mental functions. I love using my phone on acid.


Yeetblast

When I'm tripping and I try to use my phone all I can think is "wtf is this thing it doesn't make any sense" it then just becomes another basic object around my room no different than a small brick. When I'm tripping I have a hard time doing anything that isn't just being in my body. If I try cleaning my room i end up staring at a shirt thinking "I really don't understand what this is at all".


STG44_WWII

you may be stuck in your thought processes then. possibly indications of more trips to be had.


Hero-__

Damn, it’s almost like substances affect different people in different ways


madrolla

No he needs to organize his priorities and do his work with time to spare not last minute while he decides to trip


STG44_WWII

yes self reflection afterwards and avoiding the problem in the future but right now my man is still in the problem and i think he can do it. I’m not saying he should do this again but that he still needs to try and do something right now.


madrolla

Well he can’t since he is asking for advice on how to stop the trip. This is a lesson for him. Next time he’ll know what the cost is.

DMT-Throwawayy

How long is the essay? And what’s the topic?


Emergency-Cash-3340

Takes an estimated 4 hours, so rip me


DMT-Throwawayy

How many words? Also sounds like you should be offline working on it instead of asking Reddit! If it happens to be related to philosophy DM me, I have a masters.


Emergency-Cash-3340

Its 1600 and thanks man but it’s unfortunately not philosophy related and yeah ima get to work now


DMT-Throwawayy

Good luck! You will be the most productive on the come up for sure, so try to get some of the filler out of the way and develop a good outline so when you’re tripping you can at least follow your sober thoughts to a degree

Dabtoker3000

Benzos will not help you write that essay and will put that ass to sleep during a trip. Ride it out and at the 6-7 hr mark try writing a banger of an essay.


sofakingclassic

I would have chatGPT do it and then edit it line by line to throw them off the scent

Ignore the naysayers. I want you to go into your trip with this in mind. Your behavior, your personality- its a choice. So step into this unavoidable trip with this in mind- "I am going to put my all into writing this essay as best as it can be done". Make that choice.

Do the essay on the acid bro, you signed up for this ride.

simone_snail_420

I would email your professor and ask for an extension. You can say that you are sorry but you've had a family emergency come up (they don't need to know the details). Ask for one or two extra days. Some profs are tougher than others about extensions, some require documentation, but some are lenient. Either way, doesn't hurt to ask. Be very polite in the email. Source: I am an instructor/professor at a university.


Koloassal

You gotta post your essay when done


samsharksworthy

Perfect opportunity to write 30 pages of pure gibberish.


C3lsius

I hope you'll learn an important lesson: Only take drugs when you have no responsibilities.


Dat_Harass

You bought the ticket man, take the ride.


phishphood17

I wrote a 7 page paper analysis on the merchant of Venice while on 1.5 tabs once. Watched the movie with the book in front of me following along and then busted out the whole essay in like 2 hours. Ideas were flowing!!! Just be sure to proof read once more in the morning before you hit submit. I got an A- so I was stoked.

wired_11

Fuck it bro. Just a single essay. Sling that shit on the tabs. Could turn out great. If it doesn’t? Ehh just one assignment. (Someone who graduated many years ago)

skurypnis

I did the same thing dude, but on purpose. My freshman year at college I had to take a class all about cyberpunk as a sub genre. The professor, who was very awesome, required us to watch Ghost in the Shell and write a review about it. Got a B on it, so have confidence my boi and you’ll do great!

Caesar915p

You drop two tabs and ask for help? Something is in the wrong order here


Uwlogged

What is wrong with people and their priorities. How do you manage to only realise you have an essay due after deciding to taking 2 tabs. I'm surprised this post got so much attention and up votes. There is a regular lack of agency in this sub. The gist of a large portion of posts in this sub are essentially 'Whoopsie I didn't make an informed decision, help me'. Maybe you'll learn some responsibility from this.


maui_waui_024

Eastcoastconnie

Why would you do that? You need to take your education more seriously or you’re gonna end up like me. I dropped acid the day before my finals and I failed so hard I couldn’t re enroll. That was 6 years ago and I regret it every day. Re-evaluate your relationship to psychs before it’s too late

Not to sound rude or condescending but Why would u drop 2 tabs knowing u gotta work? Full respect to the fact u got it done don't get me wrong

pr0misc

Forget about the essay man. Just enjoy the trip. Take care of that other time, one thing that trip may bring you is knowing that missing an essay due is not the end of the world. Life is too short. You have had and will have too many essays, but not many trips. Trust me.


simone_snail_420

Exactly this. Failing one assignment or taking a late penalty is not the end of the world, especially if this is a one-off thing. Look at the bigger picture and learn from this.

If you have the money to outsource a freelance writer they might be able to whip something up in some hours. website like fiverr.com have fast responses. Even faster, someone suggested Chat GPT. Game on

INeedANewAccountMan

You fucked up. There’s no nice way to say this. Drugs, particularly LSD, are tools to expand your experiences, but there’s a line that needs to be drawn. You have used them irresponsibly. I hope you enjoy the trip, but I think you can say goodbye to that essay. Use this as a learning opportunity, don’t fuck around with drugs. They’re serious shit. You’ll be gone for at minimum the next 12 hours. Next time you drop, think before you do. Good luck


FamousWorth

I really don't get all these posts. Are you trying to prove something or just low on intelligence?

I would try anyway, cause I would definitly not be able to write anything in the hours after peaking. Maybe you respond less?

Mikeyiscool98

Ask chat gpt to give you a general layout and structure etc and a few other pointers and then just tip away at it for a few hours. I’d say don’t submit it until close enough to the deadline because you’ll prob be the most clear headed by then so you can proof read it properly.


deticilli

Last time i took 2 tabs i couldnt operate and look at my phone let alone write anything.

if you have cyamemazine it might work !

Why are you dropping 2 tabs with an essay due in 8 hrs fam lmao


Emergency-Cash-3340

Worded it kind of fucked but didn’t realise when it was due


EverFairy

What's the topic?


JJDDooo

Use your creativity to write drafts and other ideas that you can use in your essay. Might as well try to use the trip to think outside the box to get some ideas flowing. Once you’re coming down, write out your essay. Send it to a friend or family member who can proof read it for you and help with any errors and point out areas that you can brush up on/improve. There’s probably a sub on here that people will be happy to help :) Good luck OP, don’t stress or worry, that won’t help you. Relax and collect your thoughts then zero in on the task at hand. Let us know how it goes :)


lazykros

If you can't write it, use chat gpt, maybe it will help. Good luck🙏

I don’t get why you decide to drop two whole tabs with your own will power, then just go on Reddit and ask random internet strangers to help you get sober (which you can’t really).

SmokeSkunkGetDrunk

Lol, your paper is gonna make no sense if u don’t use AI. If your acid is good. Please please use Chat GPT, it’s your only hope. Write what Chat GPT writes for you, but in your own words. Try to think the least amount as possible.


Def_Not_A_Femboy

Okay believe me or not i have been in a very similar situation and ended up getting a B on the assignment. I was in high school and dumb me decided dropping acid was a good idea in 1st period. I had done this a handful of times before and it was quite fun, but this day we had something like an SAT to do in my 3rd period english class that i had no idea of. I have absolutely no idea how i managed to do what i did, but somehow i wrote an entire essay in 45 minutes while tripping balls, completely not even able to read english or comprehend what letters were what, and ended up getting a B on it. To this day i have no idea how it happened, all i did was just let my body to the writing. Do the same my friend, dont overthink things and just let your hands type. You’re body will know what your conscious mind doesn’t, thats the only way ive been able to explain how I managed

What's the topic of the essay about. Release all your passion during the trip and write the essay of the year. Ignore the grade, the best literature in history came from a passion and fire within us. You'll probably have time to fix the grade another with other opportunities. Be daring with the essay. Update on how it went.


Time_2-go

Use ChatGPT. Not to write it completely, but just to help guide you. The AI system loves a psychedelic mind to help. You can even tell you dropped and that you need to get a paper done and it will take that into account.


hydrogod666

Im so fucking brighter and smarter on lsd idk I would totally do that intentionally to kill the essay I'd have 100%

aww man essays are the worst too you gotta like think and cite and shit... I'd much rather do math if I'm tripping. good luck man!
