During my first year of college I decided that I was going to choose easy classes to help ease me into the strict routine of being a college student. One of his classes happen to be art but I was not prepared as to the vast toughness of the arts essay that I was going to have to write for the class.
The arts essay that I had to write was going to be even worse than the sociology essay that I had just handed in the week before. They really bummed me out as I had chosen this class just because it was supposed to be easy.
I wish that all the classes that I had taken at assignments that were as easy to do as the management essay that I had written. This particular essay had not taken a much time at all and I got a very good grade on it so I was very happy about that.
College life in the essay writing go hand-in-hand. There is a delicate balance between the two and if you ignore one or the other chances are your college experience will not be as good as you would expect. Without essay writing you will not pass your classes, and without having some sort of social life in college you’ll never make it through in one piece.
One of the biggest things I learned is that I should schedule my coursework as it comes in so that I still have time to engage in social activities. This is especially true for essays as your mark tends to be higher if you allocate more time to writing as a over a longer period. That way, you’re not in a rush and your paper looks well thought out and complete.
Trust me when I say that this balance is key as I had repeat my first year college because I just couldn’t figure that out. So for those of you just starting out heed my advice and save yourself a lost year of your life.
I’ll be the first to admit that while I was in college I didn’t do all the work that I submitted myself. If you ask any college student, they will tell you that there is way too much work compared to the amount of time you have to do it.
It all started when I got help with my admission essay even before I was in college and continued with me ordering some custom essays be few times when I didn’t have time to write them myself. I didn’t feel bad about it because many companies outsource their writing and I should to, right?
I will have to say though that all the book reports that I submitted in college were actually written by me. They were the one thing that I really didn’t have much problems writing so I found it easier to do myself instead of cutting corners to get it done.
My college experience was filled with good times, bad times, and stressful times. I would have to say that it was one of the most wonderful and horrible experiences of my entire life. Though I did manage to get a degree, it wasn’t until my fourth year that I figured out the three pieces to the college puzzle.
Now these pieces are not a description of the three things that make your college life wonderful. Rather, it is the three things that tend to encapsulate what you will be doing a college while you’re there.
The first piece would be the coursework that you do while in college. I would include attending classes, reading your textbook, and doing assignments in this category. Usually, you’ll find yourself doing these tasks each and every day and quite frankly it will be the majority what to do at college.
The second piece would be all the essays that you write. Whether it be the term papers that you are writing for your English class, psychology class, sociology class, etc. you’ll find you are writing pretty much all the time. The result is either you end up loving to write or just hate it. Thankfully, with many degrees you do not have to write essays in the last couple years of your college career.
The third piece of a college life would be socializing. This can be the clubs, teams, events that you attend and participate in. I would have to say, for me this was the most fun of the three major things that you do in college. But, you have to be careful that you don’t spend all your time socializing and ignore the other two things that you should be doing.
So my college days are over, there are many days when I wish I could go back and relive those times again.
While in college, one of my roommates came up with a great business idea. What he noticed was that a lot of students have problems writing their dissertations and usually not enough time to do them. He figured that he could do them a service (and make some money) if he could provide them with a way to solve this problem.
After little bit of research, he decided that he should offer custom term papers for any class that a student required. It would be a fee-based service, based on the word count and research required to write the thesis. This sounded all well and good, but he had to figure out some way to advertise his service without alerting the faculty.
It ended up that he devised a tactic to advertise his business and stay away from the prying eyes of the University. I’ll go into any details here, but it ended up being a very lucrative business for him, and paid his way through college.
He continued to business after college and now has ghostwriters to do the writing for him. He is definitely one of the smartest business minds that I know.
It’s not often that you find a community of people that have is a mandate to help each other out. It seems that in our world as it is people just don’t have the time or the generosity to help others.
But there are a few groups of people that do take the time to help one another out. A good example would be how the Pakistanis in Calgary have joined together to provide a resource to new residents of the city to help them get established in their new home.
The help they residents out by providing a website that lists where all the Pakistani restaurants are located in the city. They also have a list of grocery stores that sell Pakistani foods to they will know where to buy the ingredients to make the foods they love.
They also help people to get their Alberta’s Learners Permit by providing written materials and practice tests to ensure that it will be easy to complete the written exam.
Hopefully, other communities will follow their example so that we can see more people helping each other out in the future.
After sending in my application essay for college, I decided to read through the course calendar to see what I would expect attending their college. I thought that my chances were pretty good to get in at the college I applied to so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to take the time to familiarize myself with the college.
I was reading the research paper submission guidelines as outlined in the calendar and found some discrepancies in terms of what they expected in regards to their submission policy. You see, one paragraph they said that they would only accept essays printed on white paper.
But the problem that I noticed was that they also stated that they would only accept online essay submissions as part of their environmental policy on reducing waste but the college generated. This left me confused and unsure about what they were expecting and I hope that they were going to clarify it on the first day of class. In the meantime, I am left with a lingering question: paper or no paper?
