This week was a big week concerning this class. Although
scary, I love the way I am being pushed out of my comfort zone. I feel okay
about the essay, but still a bit nervous, but that’s okay I think that is a
sign that I’m actually learning something very valuable.
High school made you follow such a strict structure of how
to write an essay, which I always found a bit annoying. Even if a teacher wanted
you to have more freedom, you really couldn’t because to according to state
standards and AP standards you had to be taught a certain away.
Still, I use to think that having all those restriction made
my essays worse, but now that I was given so much freedom, I have to admit that
I was intimidated. It was strange to not be told exactly what to do and exactly
in what format. It was definitely quite the experience.
With the essay I figured out how important it was to answer
the “So What?” in essays, the “So What?” is an essential part of the essay
because it explains why everything
you are saying in this whole paper that you have probably spent hours on is important. It explains why
everyone needs to read your paper, not just your professor.
I feel like this concept will help me for the rest of my
college career. Also, “Shitty First Drafts” gave me a lot of peace of mind.
Bless that article, seriously, I will probably use that for the rest of my
life.
