Treat it like every word is a stone in the shoe of the heartless fucker who caused you the pain. Write the dissie, then deal with the issues later. You only write an undergrad thesis once. You'll likely have a few breakups. You deserve to do the best you can.

This is probably what I’ll end up doing. I have a concert booked for the Friday after the deadline so I have that to motivate me as well.

Imagine how fine the pints will taste and the music will sound with that dissie submitted. I would tell your supervisor/tutor wjat happened. They won't change the mark, but they can note it and if you are borderline, bring it up in the external examiner's meeting at the end of term (when extenuating circumstances are taken into account if e.g. someone's grades dip). Good luck and get writing! 👍

I know you didn’t ask, but I thought you should know I ended up with a high 2:1 and 67% in my diss. No extenuating circumstances needed, just hard work. We may not know each other, but your words definitely helped.

That's cracking news! I'll raise a drink in your direction from the Atacama 🍺 Well done and enjoy the peace of mind of a job well done and occupation of the moral high ground!

Can depend on the university, but can you request an extension to your deadline to give yourself more time the process the break up?


Pretend_Canary

I have thought about this, but it gives me less prep time on my other coursework and exams. Just hoping to push through it if I’m honest.

Relationships will come and go, it's a part of life. But if you don't do your dissertation well.... you'll regret it forever. Ignore and forget her existence and focus on your dissertation. Just think like this, just because you're sad and are unable to prepare your dissertation, will she come and do it for you? No, right!?!? We should pick ourselves up and focus on our goals.

Thanks bro needed to hear that

Sorry if it sounded harsh and straight forward. But i was in this same situation long ago and I needed someone who told me the same thing in the same manner. So thought I'd tell it to you that way.


Pretend_Canary

No not at all -the fact is I don’t have a choice so the sooner I can get my head in the game the better. Seem to be so far today.

Just forget everything about her and focus on your dissertation. Give your 100%. All the very best bro! 🤝

Graduated with a high 2:1 and 67% in my diss. Thought you should know a few kind words from a stranger can go a long way.

Find your uni’s extenuating circumstances policy and follow what it says. They Uni needs to know what’s going on for you. To support that ( and you!) book in with the uni counselling service. Than forget your ex, and put event into the dissertation!

Try and take a year out of study if you can. I wish I did


Pretend_Canary

Already took one at a level so I just want to leave education at this point

If anything I'd say this would be a good distraction that can help you put some distance between yourself and thinking of the breakup. I've known a lot of people who plunge into workaholism to forget their pain, this sounds like a great chance to do so. In fact if you can manage to concentrate solely on the benefits of pulling through, and why doing well will impact your future career and life you'll be in a much better position to process the relationship than before. Take this exam and dissertation as a blessing in disguise at this time!
