What happens if you're UNDER the word limit?

Basically my essay is something like 1800. I seriously cannot think of anything else to write whatsoever, but the word count is supposed to be 2500

Obviously there is more to write if they are expecting 2500 words from every single person. They don't just make the word count up for fun; it's a guideline of how much content and detail to put into the essay. You haven't done enough; write more.

The deadline is midday today... and I've been up all night.

That's odd. I always thought it was better to be over than under

Would this affect me or does it not really matter so much as long as it's not over? This is English Lit btw

Thanks
