So, I want to make sure I get this right.

• 17 Months Ago: Final Semester starts (Fall 18). Your thesis is assigned.
• 16 Months Ago:
• 15 Months Ago:
• 14 Months Ago: You get a job that is somewhat expecting you to graduate in a few months
• 13 Months Ago:
• 12 Months Ago: ... thesis still not done.
• 11 Months Ago:
• 10 Months Ago: Thesis still not done! You've got 1 month left...
• 9 Months Ago: Whoops. No graduation. You didn't finish it on time.
• 8 Months Ago: Hey, that's okay. Just complete it and we'll give your diploma in 2 months.
• 7 Months Ago:
• 6 Months Ago: Still no thesis?
• 5 Months Ago: ... and still no diploma.
• 4 Months Ago: Company isn't pressuring me on this. So let's forget about it.
• 3 Months Ago: I mean, who actually needs a college degree, amiright?
• 2 Months Ago:
• 1 Month Ago:
• Now: Still no thesis. Still no diploma. And it turns out the company cares after all.

Are you kidding me?

*WRITE YOUR #$%#! THESIS!

I can't emphasize that enough. This is your course of action:

1. Finish your thesis. Literally every minute you are not sleeping, working, or eating, you are writing your thesis. No excuses, no delaying, get the *#&%^#@ thing done! Like, by this weekend.
2. Contact your college and grovel for them to accept it a year and a half late and still let you graduate.
3. Contact your employer and apologize for the delays on this. Tell them that the college is reviewing your senior thesis still, but you're expecting to hear back from them within X days.

I mean, holy freaking snot buckets. Forget for a second about this specific moment in time. Do you honestly think, 5 years down the line, that you'd say, "Well, I don't think missing out on a college degree really hurt me all that much. And it saved me 40 hours of time writing a silly thesis."

No! You'd say, "What the heck was I thinking?! I let a bit of laziness and procrastination cost me a college degree, when all I needed to do was sit down and write one lousy paper!"
