Sending emails is already stressful enough; why make it more difficult by writing them from scratch each time? Above I’ve posted several email templates that I’ve used throughout high school and college with a pretty high success rate. I apologize for how not-pretty they look, but I promise the lack of aesthetic appeal doesn’t detract from the overall usefulness of these templates! You can also find these templates in this doc.

The templates given here are for:

Scheduling a meeting with someone

Sending in application materials for a job

Asking for an extension on an assignment

Sending a thank you email

Applying for a research position

Asking for a letter of recommendation

A few other tips:

Depending on your level of familiarity with who you’re emailing, you can start the email with “Hello NAME,” especially for the extension email. But when in doubt, err on the side of formality.

Don’t just copy and paste these templates! Use these as outlines/first drafts, and personalize your email before sending. 

A lot of professors will list their extension policies in the syllabus, so look that over before asking for extension. If a professor gives one-week extensions, don’t screw yourself over by asking for a three-day extension. Also, try to ask for an extension at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This shows that you’ve planned ahead and didn’t just slack off until the last second, and professors are more likely to be lenient.

You should try to ask for rec letters in person rather than over email. However, if you’re busy as hell or socially anxious (or both, as I was), this email should work in a pinch. I secured 4 out of 4 recommenders using this email format.

A list of professional salutations: sincerely, best, best regards, regards, thank you, thank you for (xyz). Mix and match to avoid repeating something you’ve already said within the email.

Now go forth and email!

[o2studies]

as much as I despise how disgustingly expensive education has gotten (in the us at least) I do like the idea that my brain cost hundreds of thousands of dollars

some people like to spend their money on boats, on cars - I like to spend money on psychological abuse and fancy pieces of paper that give me a complex

Amen

It's not really my fault I hate stats so much. It hated me first and it still holds that grudge.

[o2studies]

I'm just so tiredddd..... Beforehand I didn't really want to study because then, well, it's work. But now that I've started it and are attempting questions I realise so much of what I'll need to go over again and it's making me feel stupid again so I don't want to do the work again either......

😭😭😭😭😭

• I spent a stupid amount of time logging almost all the books I’ve read on Storygraph.

• I was meant to design a habit tracker for May and I didn’t do it.

• I attended a jam session that was hosted near campus. Honestly I only went cause I thought this guy I always say hi to in the hallway would be there. He wasn’t. But it was so much fun. Everyone was super nice and insisted I bring my viola next time. I played the guitar for two songs and I didn’t even know what I was doing lol. I would love to be friends with everybody there T_T

• Viola lesson on Friday and I haven’t practiced in two weeks. Will lock in tomorrow. And every day after that cause we have group practice next week💀.

• I ran on an hour of sleep for the whole day. Then a 15min nap somewhere in between. Regret.

• End of the month!!!!!

57 days of productivity, 7/57

Honestly, not a very productive day at all but the self care was nice. I finished a math AS 2 past paper and going through it again with the markscheme was very helpful for how to do the actual work lol and I got about half a paper done of A2 1 (with the markscheme also).

I ordered pizza with my mum today and it was delicioussss. Can't wait to eat the leftovers tm!

Day 51 clean

Day 0

Floor time ☑️

remember when i was a bright-eyed 20-year old and i thought i would get a career in the art or game industry and live a moderately happy life alone but unbothered

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!
