God did not give us brains to agonise over writing academic papers and painstakingly add citations. We were given them so we could frolick in the fields and avoid predators.
And yes, maybe I should have documented my process these past 8 weeks so I wouldn't have to cram all the writing in the last week. But, in fairness, whose bright idea was it to give us 9 weeks to do design and write a paper, then 7 weeks to make a presentation and do final edits? Tf do I need 7 weeks to make a presentation for? Do they want me to hand animate the power point slides?
Also, when will I use these skills in the real world? I don't want to go into research!
Me crying about the degree i chose for myself -> 
Me reaping what I sow -> 
I feel like I've gotten dumber as I get older and also do not like being alone with my thoughts and crave background noise.
At the very least, I have a rain sounds app going on my phone 24/7 that I'll only turn off outside the house
