This is a common story you hear about, but the most common ones are even better. When someone thinks they are conducting…

Writing Self-Assessment Over the course of the semester I have learned a lot things regarding my writing. I feel that a few of my weaknesses revolved around not giving enough examples in my essays. One of the main things you seemed to point out about my analytical essay was that I did not provide enough examples. That is why for the paper I needed to rewrite I decided on the analytical paper to try to improve upon that. I believe I have been able to improve this throughout the course. It is…

It’s the end of the middle school years for me. I’m leaving, going to a new realm. The years of babying is over and the years of responsibility begin. Im highly excited to leave and go to the high school, but there are somethings that i’m going to miss. A whole bunch of things were so fun but others not so much. The things i will probably miss are some of my teachers, and the activities and projects we got to do. The thing i won’t miss are the, rude, incompetent, disrespectful people.…

Why Longhand is Better There has been a long, heated debate in this new era of technology about whether or not a laptop is a better alternative for taking notes than the old fashioned pencil and paper.

The two conducted…

convinced our youth into using Instant Messaging because apparently, the letter “U,” is a lot less time consuming than spelling out ‘Y-O-U.” Oh, whatever will you do with that extra second you saved from not typing two measly letters? Now, we arrive onto the topic of Twitter. Twitter is like a fridge to a hungry teenager. They check it every two minutes to see if anything new appears, Knowing that nothing has. Even…

To be honest, writing this paper felt a little like writing an eulogy. I often found myself frustratedly typing extra hard on the keyboard telling myself that I will never write another paper and this is the last long paper I will write because I am not taking anymore English classes. Of course, I quickly overcame my laziness and kept writing because I want to be successful and a major key to success is to being able to write. The most challenging part of this paper was the outlines that were…
