[PSU Struggle] I'm starting on my revisions for my essays for PSU. Basically I have to turn them from essays to book reviews. I'm pretty terrified. I realize I haven't revised anything in forever, perhaps never properly. 
College is such a meat grinded I could only focus on getting the work finished on time. I never had time for anything outside...

of proofreads. I feel so under-educated in this. Then I feel like that's my fault, but I don't think anything one was revising or editing either. I mean I guess to save myself from more shame. Oh man... 
Hey! I think you did great considering the situation. A lot of people would have given up; you didn't. So just for that: yay you! 
As for the rest: you can do it! 
(And it's always hard to properly revise your own work, especially with deadlines looming.)

Persist! 
Thanks Stereo, that helps me feel better I really really appreciate it!
ogman: That's the intention 
It is not your fault, how to properly revise and edit is supposed to be a part of the education they are giving you.
inkblotted: Thanks Terry, yeah I'm really confused about that, because all through, college high school too, I never had instruction on revision. Our profs told us to go the writing center to improve our writing, but for me I was struggling to just get the words on paper before the due date.
haecceityofanelf: Yeah even thinking back to writing 122 it was just more essays instead of this is how we make this essay better. There is a really quantity over quality thing.
And I didn't say a word that wasn't true! 
Whoo! Paper #1 revised the ready to go. Now for paper #2 that's going to be a bit harder, but I can do it.

Oh man I'm telling you guys, when I finally get this degree I'm going to be happy-crying all day.
And we will be happy-crying along you! 
StereoNacht: D'aww thanks! It might end up being a little while longer if I have to take a civil litigation to the University, but I hope they'll be like, you're right we can except that accommodation after all here's your degree.
I have paper 2 chopped down now! Whoo! God it feels good to finally make some faster progress.
