Have you checked out the Purdue OWL? It's a life saver for all things APA.

I was looking at work to see if they had the book listed as a rental and it is not. I will have to purchase.

I need to get this paper done before Friday, so I just have to bite the bullet and just write the paper.

I can't even write my own name in cursive haha

APA is the easiest format from all the available one. The abstract depends on ur professor. Ask if you need one. Other than that is pretty straight forward. 1 in margin all the way around. Running head on title page and simple Info. then just the running head without saying running head on all other pages. Pages need to be numbered. Mmmmmm third person as in we, one., they.. And so on.

You're welcome.

This absolutely saved my ass in grad school. Mostly because I physically cannot start a paper until the night before it's due.
