 hi everybody so i thought i would do this video because i'm about to submit my dissertation it's finally done oh my god so i've spent today doing all of my final things i've just done a last minute check on my reference list and some of my references oh my god so i had two references missing i had about three or four where i hadn't even put the date on them in the reference list the dates were wrong they didn't correspond with each other oh my god i've had a nightmare so word of warning always check your references and your reference list as a last thing that you do just check that everything corresponds with everything and all of the links work because it's a blooming nightmare so i have four thousand and thirty six words i've got that includes heading citations and references it's all included in this but tables do not count and appendices don't count i've got um one two three appendices i've got a few tables i've got five tables two diagrams and that's it and it's taken me about a year to do this it's taken me since december so technically it's taken me 10 months but i did start planning this in second year so i feel like it's taken me a whole year to do this dissertation and it's been stressful it's been a nightmare and now the time has come to get rid of it so guys i'm on the page as you can see on the right here Monday the 14th of October that is when our submission is actually due officially but today i'm submitting it because i've got a weekend of snowden to climb so i need this submitted now basically so here we go add a file i'm gonna add my file now this is mine choose upload this file and then i'm gonna add my second file because we're allowed to submit two files so i've got one which is my dissertation work and the second one is the appendix one two and three that's it so now i'm going to download them both and make sure that they are the right ones that i want so i've got my cover sheet i've got my assignment and i've got my appendices that is everything i need to submit it so tick the box this is my own work i haven't played rise i've already put it through turn it in so i know that i'm only on six percent which is good anything below 15 percent guys is good save changes that's it so it's there it's submitted it's done and i should have an email as well come through saying that i've submitted it so that's it guys i've submitted my dissertation i don't have to look at it anymore i don't have to stress about it anymore although i will probably stress about my mark and my grade because i could fail this this i'm not going to lie this isn't my best piece of work um in my head it's awful but i've gone by the marking criteria i've gone by the assignment guidelines and the assignment brief to make sure that i've hit everything on there to pass so fingers crossed i get 40 percent pass we'll see but it's in there it's done there's nothing more i can do it's done my final last piece of work for university it's finished i've got no more work to do guys that is it oh my god i'm gonna get so emotional now so this dissertation this dissertation almost prevented me from starting my nursing career i had so much self doubt self confidence issues i didn't think i could do a dissertation i thought i was gonna fail i still think oh god there's still that doubt that i'm gonna fail but i didn't think i was smart enough i didn't think i was academic enough to ever do a dissertation a degree and now this is this is happy tears guys oh my god i knew this was gonna happen i knew as soon as i started recording i'd get all emotional and here i am crying about a dissertation so yeah so yeah looking back at my journey and just it's that final piece that said you know what i can do this i've done it and all those self doubts all those years i spent putting off doing the degree for nursing but my message to you out there is uh if i can do this if i can fail my gcse's if i can come from a background where no one in my family direct family has done a degree i've come from i would say a pretty poor background as well i don't live a rich lifestyle i don't have a rich family nothing like that but that self doubt and that confidence come from that that i can't do a degree because i'm not smart enough i don't have the confidence so if if i can come from all of that and do this and submit a dissertation you can absolutely do this and you should have every confidence in you even i know it's it's really hard to get rid of that self doubt and that confidence and build your own confidence and self-worth but if i can do this i swear to god all of you can do this because i'm like i said i'm not academic i'm not that sort of person you just have to really persevere with it you have to knuckle down you have to get your head into your laptop into your paper and really knuckle down and put the work in because if you put the work in yourself you put the time in yourself you're gonna see the results and the rewards of submissions so yeah that was a bit of a waffle i'm sorry but i just wanted to encourage you out there that you can do this you are amazing and i hope that this has inspired you to feel a bit more confident and better about it about dissertation and yeah i'm just relieved guys this is that's it i'm just relieved i'm so chuffed it's done i've got no more work to do so yeah i'm gonna have some free time on my hands all i've got left now is my last six weeks of placement i need to do a placement vlog and update you all on placement which i will do i promise but for now i'm going to go celebrate i don't feel too good so i'm celebrating with a noble team and getting into bed and probably gonna order some takeaway which isn't the best because i feel rubbish but anyway i'm gonna
