Writting

One part that I enjoy about writing an essay it is revising it. The reason I like this part is because I am finally done with the hardest part for me, which is gathering ideas, planning and drafting. Revising the essay helps me emphasize my main points and ideas I wanted to express on an essay.

However, academic writing it’s not my favorite, although I think it is important to know how to write academically. I like free writing about important events that happened in mi life. Putting all my ideas and opinions about a subject it is like freeing my mind and letting myself go. I think free writing about events that happened in my life could come out as a very strong essay.  I know what details and what ideas I will have to put on my paper.  It is different than academic essay, because I don’t have to worry about having the perfect paper that follows every particular detail that is written in the assignment sheet.  Drafting my paper over and over again looking with a magnifying glass for the minimum mistake makes it frustrating, and sometimes you lose the meaning of what you are trying to say.

DEADLINE Stressful as it Sounds



To some college students and specially me the word DEADLINE itself is already stressful.  However leaving my assignments for the last minute is even more stressful. I have to be honest and say that I am not a person who completes my work ahead or before the deadline. I am always procrastinating and then rushing to turn in my work, however if I think if do not have that pressure of a deadline on me; then maybe I would not be able to complete my work on time.  I might rush or I leave things for the last minute, but I always manage to complete my work and turn it in. So this semester I decided that I will change my ways of addressing this. It all has to do with organization. I will be more organized, and follow my organization pattern to accomplish all my assignments even before the deadline.  Maybe then the word deadline will not be as stressful as it is now.
