    To Study, Or Not to Study?

    by

    From the title of this blog post it’s pretty easy to conclude that studying is the topic. Also, with the
    title being the question that it is, it’s pretty obvious that I am really not a fan of studying. Honestly I am not! I really need to improve these habits …

    What do people usually write about?

    by

    How do people decide what to write about? I think people write about what they read. If some people like to read horror books then they will write about horror books. Other people may like to read about romances so they will probably write about something romantic. 

    I also think…

    Skate: Not Just A Sport At The X-Games

    Teaching to Write Shorter

    by

    In every writing class that I have ever taken we would always write 500-600 word papers all the time. What if we cut that paper in half, and took out all the sentences we just rambled on about. It would definitely be shorter and most likely be a better paper. …
