If you're not doing it already, a nice header on each page (page number, title, other irrelevant pieces of information) can be used to pad the page, and allow you to push the upper margin down another .25-.5 inches. Similarly, footers can be populated with relatively worthless bits of info tangent to the main content of your paper.

Thats what I always thought. I don't have more then 6-8pages double spaced to say on any topic in the universe.

i HATED 8 page papers in college cause I could never fully develope my thoughts. Fortunately every paper I had almost was 20 pages or more

seriously, how the fsck do people screw up this bad? I never had to pull a single all-nighter in college, and never had to finish a paper within even 2 days of the due date, and I still had more fun than I should've.....I just don't get it.

Your idea of fun was Halo on the big screen TV in the student lounge wasn't it. Excessive fun was when it went until 1 am on a Friday night.

Playing doom all night is not what most college people consider fun.
 
Best trick ever:

Format -> Font -> Spacing - set character spacing to expanded, choose a value that's not noticeable, usually anything under 0.3 points is unnoticeable and can gain you probably a page or two on a 20 page paper.

No Kidding. If you were one of my students, I'd give you an F for asking for ideas on this.

Aren't you in IT? Seems kind of pointless to write papers for a major like that... we had a senior project... applied knowledge and all that, you know.

Mine was on the implementation and integration of a system at my company. See, we had real jobs and our theses had to be related to that job. A thesis without real world practicality or usage is pointless, IMHO.
 
haha.

I have lots of fun but I have a serious problem with procrastination. Its just a diffrent way we get things done. You get things done ahead of time and then slack off the rest of the time. I slack off the entire time and then lose one nights sleep over it. No biggie.

For instance..had a porfolio due today...did it this morning lol.

Now...even though I procrasitnate hardcore I always make sure I can get my stuff done. 16 pages by 4pm atleast in this time zone(eastern) is damn near impossible for a senior thesis. Those things need to be written well...checked over many times, and have sound ideas/research. Good luck buddy.
