My dissertation deadline is getting closer, and between work, burnout, and constantly rewriting chapters, I’m seriously considering asking someone to write dissertation for me.

I’ve tried doing everything on my own, but at this point I’m stuck in a loop of drafts that never feel good enough. I’m not looking to magically disappear from the process - I still want to understand my topic and be involved. I just need proper support.

So my question is: has anyone here used a writing dissertation service before? Is it realistic to find someone who can write my dissertation or at least help structure and polish it? Also, are there options to write my dissertation cheap without ending up with low-quality work?

I’d really appreciate honest experiences, warnings, or recommendations. Thanks in advance - my stress level will thank you too))

P.S. Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I chose the service suggested in the comments below - LeoEssays - and I was very pleased. I recommend it to everyone!!))

Okay so I'm still kind of shaking while writing this because it literally just resolved like two days ago and I need to vent somewhere.

So last month I had this research paper due for my sociology class. 15 pages, 30% of my final grade, and I had approximately zero brain cells left after midterms. I'd heard people mention papersowl before, seen a few papersowl reviews floating around forums, decided fine, whatever, I'll try it.

Ordered the paper. Paid like $90 something. Deadline was in 6 days, seemed totally fine.

Here's where I made my actual mistake - I just... didn't check it until the night before submission.

The paper arrived on time. Looked okay at first glance. I skimmed it, thought "great, done" and went to sleep.

Next morning I actually READ it and nearly had a heart attack. The writer had completely misunderstood the prompt. Like fundamentally. I asked for an analysis of urbanization patterns in post-Soviet countries and got something that was roughly... a general essay about cities. In Europe. Broadly. With one vague paragraph about Russia.

I panicked. Submitted a revision request at 11pm. Paper was due at 9am.

The support person was actually responsive which I was NOT expecting at that hour, and they did push it to a different writer. Got a new version at 7am. It was... better. Not great. But passable. I rewrote about 40% of it myself in two hours on no sleep and turned it in with four minutes to spare.

Got a B-. Honestly felt like winning the lottery given the circumstances.

The thing is - this wasn't really papersowl's fault entirely. I ordered, ignored it for five days, and expected magic. The revision process worked. The support wasn't useless. But if you're going to use any writing service, for the love of god actually read what they send you IMMEDIATELY.

Has anyone else completely self-sabotaged like this or is it just me?

Update after 2 weeks: I decided to take another chance and used leoessays.com. And compared to PapersOwl, it turned out to be a completely different experience. Thanks to them for the high-quality and timely delivery.

i’m in electromechanical engineering and i have literally never planned a study session in my life. no calendar, no app, no schedule, nothing. i just always did whatever felt the most urgent that day and figured that was fine.

And for a while i thought it was working? like i’m passing, right?

Nah. last year i had a Differential Equations final coming up, massive amount of material, so i did what i always do. Called a friend the night before and we stayed up the entire night going through problems. I had like 3 energy drinks, at some point around 3am i was literally shaking, not from anxiety just from the caffeine hitting while i was sitting there doing derivatives. walked into the exam on zero sleep, got a 43

But the thing that actually messed me up the most wasn’t even the cramming. it was everything around it. like a huge chunk of my “study time” wasn’t real studying, it was me sitting there trying to figure out what to study next, switching between subjects randomly, staring at a problem set for 20 minutes before realizing i should’ve started with something else. I never calculated how much time i lost just deciding what to do but looking back it was hours every week, hours i could’ve used to actually learn or sleep or do literally anything else

I got frustrated enough that i ended up building something called Study Blocks that auto-generates a study plan from your subjects and deadlines, honestly it started as a spreadsheet for myself and kind of got out of hand lol

But i’m curious: has anyone else been going through their degree just winging it? like no real system, just vibes and panic? or am i the only one who took this long to realize how much time i was throwing away​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I attend a community college and am taking English 102. Last week, the professor assigned us a 4–6-page research paper about a food-related topic, and today we were instructed to use the sources we gathered to construct a single body paragraph. The class was given thirty minutes to complete the task. After the thirty minutes expired, the professor asked students to voluntarily share their paragraph so that the class could practice constructive criticism and the anonymous writers could receive feedback. Here is the paragraph that I wrote within the allotted time:

The notion that the overconsumption of ultra-processed food is a recent issue is specious but ultimately false. American writer and activist James Rorty says that “the calorie was king” during the Second Industrial Revolution (36). Consumers favored the amount of energy they could get for their dollar, while paying insufficient attention to micronutritional content. This period, which precipitated significant improvements to food processing and preservation, saw the removal of “most of the vitamins and minerals from two thirds of our American food” (39). Refined white bread and white sugar were stripped of the micronutrients of their more nutritious whole grain and brown predecessors, yet Americans purchased these ultra-processed commodities in allurement of their refined palatability and lower price point. Unfortunately, the ubiquity of these micronutritionally-scarce refined goods “contributed to severe micronutrient deficiencies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries” (Huebbe and Rimbach). It had become abundantly clear that the convenience, affordability, and tastiness of ultra-processed foods came at the price of health deterioration. 

The negative feedback that I received was about diction. Both the professor and fellow students took issue with words such as "specious," "precipitated," and "ubiquity." They felt that these words made the paragraph difficult to read. The professor said that the writer (meaning me) does not need to "dumb-down" the writing but should make an effort to appeal to a broader audience. I possess a propensity for formal diction and enjoy learning and applying new terms. When writing this paragraph, I did not simply browse a thesaurus in search of complex synonyms, instead choosing each word with intent and purpose.

For instance, the term "precipitated" in this case means "caused" or "brought about," but the word innately carries a negative connotation. Thus, I felt it apt to deploy it when discussing an adverse effect of the Second Industrial Revolution.

I am unsure whether I need to revert back to using more vapid terms (such as "caused" instead of "precipitated") or believe this backlash against "complex" diction in a college course to be unwarranted. After all, when I read formal writing, I expect to expand or refresh my vocabulary. Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone! I’m a student looking for some input on AI tools that can help me stay on top of my schoolwork. I’m hoping to import things like lecture slides, assignments, and study notes, and then have the AI generate concise, high-quality notes or summaries. Has anyone used a tool like this or have any recommendations? I’m open to both free and paid options. Thanks in advance!

Hey, 10th grader here (sophmore) i had an interessting interaction with a teacher today that left me a bit uncomfortable.

Some background info is that I'm an A student and especially strong in english (we speak arabic here). This interaction happened when I was in a substiute english class with the teacher also teaching DP english.

This teacher is known for being a bit unfair in some aspects, as she graded my senior A student brother very harshly when his english teacher was on maternity leave. My brother studied the most of his entire school life on this exam only for her to drop the grade severly. Thankfully it was fixed.

Anyways, we were reading "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Alan Poe, and she pronounced the word "Amontillado" as "Amontidallo". In a low voice I corrected her by just saying the word again. She then replied word to word: "when you do that you're not being helpful, you're just being anoyying" while staring this very dirty look into my eyes. She then went on explaining.

At themoment I just didn't think about it as I'm not one to question authority, but later on thinking about the situation, and with my classmates' opinions, I feel a bit wronged. Am I in the right here?

hello,

I'm currently just grade 8. I would have gotten a 50/50 if i just listened to my teacher. but we'll

i guess I'm kinda dumb since despite knowing I still decided to change my answer. as the other one

as I have done some research, and I just cannot understand her.

(this was the question (

Flooding increases the risk of water borne diseases in coastal communities

Which is the better summary?

A Flooding affects human health

B Flooding causes serious problems

my answer was. well A

but her explanation for why it was wrong was

"well. that's a paraphrase of the text" Huh 😭 like

that feels so wrong. so the answer she said was B not A

I'm curious to know if I can do anything Abt this I tried talking about her but then she gave me a lecture about why this insulted her.

I guess I'm too prideful for this to admit I'm wrong. I wonder if i would gonna get punished for this, hope not 🫠

really wanna say smth Abt that i genuinely do care. and that I'm curious. but. well this is what I guess for accepting she's "right"

or maybe I'm just. yk

overthinking about ONE question worth like 0.1% of my grade

I’ve been experimenting with a lot of AI tools recently and realized many students don’t know how powerful these tools can be for studying and productivity.

So I made a simple website where I’m listing the best AI tools for: – studying – homework – coding – presentations – research

Some tools included: ChatGPT, Notion AI, Grammarly, Perplexity, GitHub Copilot, Canva AI, and more.

You can check it here: https://learnwithai-ux.github.io/learnwithai/

Let me know if there are any AI tools I should add.

I don’t understand how some of these people get hired. It’s as if some of my professors load up a crack pipe before grading and they lose all logic and reasoning. “Oh you spent 7 hours working on this assignment and clearly meet all the criteria listed in the rubric, mmmmmm I stubbed my toe earlier here’s a 30%.” I wouldn’t even be mad if the comments they leave make sense, but they never do. It’s always some bullshit they make up in their head, then they will straight up lie to your face and say you “missed” that part or how you could’ve “elaborated more”. It’s always a lame excuse not to give you a 100%. Please tell me I’m not the only one that has mentally disabled professors.

Okay so I need to vent because I'm still kind of spiraling about this.

It was week 9, I had three deadlines colliding at once, my part-time job refused to give me days off, and I was genuinely drowning. A guy in my dorm mentioned he'd used PapersOwl before and it "worked out fine." I looked up some papersowl reviews, most of them seemed decent enough - 4 stars here, "reliable" there. I figured okay, worst case it's mediocre but passable.

I placed the order. 8 pages, literature review, due in 5 days. Paid upfront. $180 which, for a broke student, is not nothing.

The first draft came back on day 4. I want to be delicate here but - it was bad. Like, visibly, embarrassingly bad. Wrong citation format. Two sources that I literally could not find anywhere online (I spent two hours looking). One paragraph that was clearly written about a completely different topic and just... pasted in. The thesis made no sense with the conclusion.

I contacted support asking for a revision. They said 24 hours. Cool. 24 hours pass - same paper, maybe three sentences changed. I pushed back again. At this point it's the night before the deadline and I'm rewriting the whole thing myself anyway, completely sleep-deprived, submitting something half-finished.

I got a C-. Not failing, technically. But for a lit review that's supposed to be 20% of my grade? That hurt.

When I asked for a partial refund they sent me a form, I filled it out, heard nothing for two weeks, and then got an automated email saying my "case had been reviewed and closed." That was it.

I've seen people defend papers owl online and maybe some writers there are genuinely good - I don't know. Maybe I just got unlucky with whoever picked up my order. But the revision process and support were genuinely useless when things went wrong, and that's kind of the whole point of a service like this.

After that disaster a friend pointed me toward leoessays.com - completely different experience, actual communication with the writer, and the paper was solid. Wish I'd found it first honestly.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with papersowl? Or found services that actually handle revisions properly?

Many students are finding they have no difficulty understanding the content; however, they find themselves struggling to understand how to properly format their assignments. Many of these students’ difficulties arise from:

• Citation styles (Chicago or APA).

• Footnotes verses bibliography.

• Margins, spacing, headings.

• Long documents being split into multiple sections in Microsoft Word at the last minute prior to submitting the document.

When time is limited and stress levels increase, many of our students tend to spend an excessive amount of time and energy attempting to get their formatting correct.

For myself, one strategy I employed to help with this process was to treat formatting as a completely separate, technical task, not simply something to be done "on the side" while working on the actual content of your assignment.

To any student currently experiencing these same frustrations – know you're not alone; most of the time, it's a structural problem, not a problem related to your ability.

I wanna knoww! share your stories here's (it can be related to anything but how your school year endedd)

is this going to be the smartest cohort in history? Or are we all doomed to AI brain rot?

Hey guys! I'm currently a student here in the Philippines, and I am studying away from home. It's almost my enrollment period, and I dont have any money to use for transportation and for me to eat. This is all because my mother, who favors my little brother a lot more just had cut me off including the money to provide for my needs.

Please help me! I am open for academic commissions! I can answer and help with Math, English and Science subjects.

Please help your girl out🥺

I noticed something strange when I started speaking real English.

Some of us can actually understand quite well, but the moment it's time to speak, it feels like our brain suddenly shuts down.

At that point, it's not really about vocabulary or grammar anymore.
It feels more like… fear.

Fear of:

• being judged

• sounding wrong

• people laughing or correcting you mid-sentence

So instead of practicing, we stay quiet.

And over time, that silence can make you feel stuck or even worse, discouraged.

I've been there too. And it made me realize something.

That's actually one of the reasons why I started working on a small app just a simple space where people can talk, discuss, improve their critical thinking, make mistakes, and not feel judged.

I'm still figuring things out, and honestly, I used to be one of those people who was afraid to speak. But with a bit of practice, I slowly started building confidence even if it was just small steps.

Now, I just want to create something that helps others feel the same way.

I'm curious if anyone else feels this too, have you experienced it? What helped you get past it?

I recently had a conversation with a friend from college, and he told me about a cheating method he has apparently been using for years.

According to him, this method helped him get through multiple AP and A-level exams with the exact scores he wanted. What shocked me even more is that he said he is still using the same approach for in-person college exams, and his success rate is extremely high.

He explained the whole process to me, step by step. I don’t know how much I can or should say about it here. But honestly, the entire thing sounded so well-planned and unbelievable that I could barely process it.

Hello everyone what’s up?

Be kind and remember: making this world a better place starts with YOU!

I know this is already a well-known question for many years and I won’t get a simple answer, but my situation is a bit more specific. So, I have a very important exam next week. I’m the kind of person who’s willing to take a heavy 50/50 risk, and I have some small experience with cheating. But I want to take cheating in school to a new level. I want to create some kind of technological project and plan to cheat without anyone noticing, so I’m not talking about classic cheat sheets or stuff that only works if you’re lucky with the teacher or where you sit in the classroom. I want to make some kind of technological innovation.

For example: taking digital glasses with a camera, getting a controller button on my chest, and using tiny in-ear earbuds. With the button, the screen would send the info to ChatGPT using my own app, ChatGPT would give the answers, and then it would read them back into the earbuds. Of course I gave up on this — it’s too complicated and expensive, and everyone at school knows I don’t wear glasses, especially not big ones with visible cameras.

To be clear, I’m willing to pay even 50 euros if it would help me in the coming years. And I’m aware that cheating on a test isn’t good, I should develop my brain, and if I invest this much energy into cheating, my brain will rot. But at the same time I’m painfully aware that I don’t need to know when a volcano in the middle of nowhere erupts every time in geography class, because the system forces us to learn unnecessary stuff.

There must be some kind of gadget — maybe on AliExpress — that’s simple and works on all exams. Usually, the rule is that only a pencil and eraser can be on the desk, so a smart watch is out, although a fake regular watch with a display visible only through glasses wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Thanks for the answers.

I’m talking lectures, quizzes, in class activities, etc.

I use AI tools to help me study and it genuinely works better than my old methods. But I feel weird admitting it to classmates.

How I actually use it:

Perplexity when I need to understand concepts my textbook explains poorly

Claude to check if my essay arguments make sense before submitting

Nbot Ai to search through my semester notes when I forget where I wrote something

Anki for spaced repetition (not AI but part of my system)

Why it helps:

I can ask dumb questions at 2 AM without judgment

Explains things multiple ways until I actually understand

Way faster than scrolling through lecture recordings looking for one explanation

Why I feel guilty:

Worried professors think I'm cheating even though I'm just using it to understand material better

Classmates who study "the old way" sometimes judge people using AI

Feel like I should be able to figure everything out without help

Not sure where the line is between studying smarter vs taking shortcuts

What I DON'T do:

Let AI write my essays (I write them, just use it to check logic)

Use it during exams (obviously)

Copy AI explanations without understanding them

Submit AI-generated anything as my own work

The question:

Is using AI to understand material considered cheating by most people?

Am I overthinking this and it's just a tool like Google or calculators?

How do you use AI for studying without crossing ethical lines?

Genuine confusion here.

Some professors encourage it. Others act like it's academic dishonesty. Students are split.

Where's the actual line?

Nowadays, I don’t blindly trust random or so-called famous teachers. I only trust those who can actually make me understand topics clearly.

Otherwise, I prefer AI models. They will keep teaching you until you truly understand, and there’s no need to feel ashamed or dumb while clearing your doubts or numerical questions. Just ask bluntly, whatever your doubts are.

Yes, sometimes you may receive unnecessary or deeper knowledge — and that’s where self-awareness matters. In the end, I believe there is no teacher better than yourself.

Do that
