A little early morning tip for those that are desperate: The easiest way to add an extra page on to your essay without actually doing the work is replacing all your size 12 periods with size 14 periods. Give it a try - the change seriously isn't even noticeable to the human eye. If you're skeptical, print off a copy of an essay with size 12 periods and one with size 14 periods. You seriously can't tell! By my estimate, you'll get about one extra page if you've got ten pages written in size 12 font.
This is obviously only the path of the desperate but who isn't looking for the easy way out at 5am?
