How I did it: I wrote my senior thesis for my degree in history during the school year of 2008-2009. The subject was "The Birth of Consumer Culture in Eighteenth-Century London," and I worked closely with my academic adviser during the entire writing stage.

Lessons & tips: Study your subject matter for years and chose something you could really stand to look at every day for the next (however many) years.

Resources: An academic adviser, jstor.org, alumni pen pals
