Getting It Done Right

I have been having a rough time getting the last essay of the year done.  I don’t know what it is, but while working on my last philosophy essay, I have just hit a roadblock.  It is as if my brain has had enough and decided to shut off.
So, I headed down to the campus […]

Easier Than Doing it Myself

I have always been one to find the easiest way to do things.  From using herbicides to weed, to taking showers instead of baths, I always do what is the quickest and the easiest.
When it came to writing essays in college, I found myself with a challenge.  I mean, how does one get their law […]

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

I would say that I am definitely burning the candle at both ends.  I am not only a teacher’s aide for one of the professors in our college, but I am a teacher’s aide for three of them.  It is getting to be a little bit too much, as this week I have to mark […]

A Costly Mistake

I was recently working on a rather large online essay, when it dawned on me that I was writing on the wrong topic. We had been given a list of topics to write about and I had chosen to write on “The Early Invention of Plants”. Halfway through my writing I reread that it was […]

Teaching and Learning at the Same Time

This term in college has been a little bit different for me.  Instead of just doing the coursework, I made a decision early on in the term to help my peers if the opportunity presented itself.
I thought that even though college was a place to learn, it could also be a place to share […]

All the Help I Need

While I was working on my psychology essay this past term, I was running into some difficulties in trying to get the wording and the formatting just right.  I asked some of my friends for suggestions but none of them really seem good at writing essays anyway.
I decided to take advantage of the essay […]

Finishing the Last Paper

As part of our English final this year, our professors assigned us a take-home essay and I have been working feverishly trying to get it done.  Even though it was assigned as a take-home project, it doesn’t make writing a dissertation any easier knowing that our professor has higher expectations from us than if we […]

Great Day at the Library

I was in the library the other day, gathering a bunch of information for the research papers that I am writing when I overheard a conversation between a professor and his assistant. It would not be that big of a deal, except for that the information that I overheard involved a class that I was […]

Final Class Assignment

I am so excited that we were assigned our final class assignment today in my philosophy class.  The class straddled over two terms, so it does seem like it’s been very long since we’ve been taking this class since September.  There’s a something nice about feeling like you’re in the final stretch and today’s announcement […]

Looking over the Course Syllabus

I was a little shocked today in class when the professor assigned another one of her very grueling essays.  It seems that every week we are assigned another essay and more assignments than I care to count.  I was really wondering if I was crazy enough to make it through this class so getting a […]
