A Letter To Those Who Employ Extortionate Discourse To Recount Elementary Convictions

To the literary geniuses, the accomplished, the intellectual:

Though I profoundly respect your fondness for extravagant and improvident diction and the exoneration of involuted postulations, I do believe there to be a fine line between demonstrating a veritable concept of intrinsic value and the superfluous utilization of language far beyond the appropriate and surmised level of comprehension for any and all readers. The inconsiderate and blatantly obvious insertion of such word choices in the syntax of analyses and other such scripted thoughts is uncalled for, or, in other words, ridiculous.

We understand the complex inter-workings of your ample mind from the substantiative ideas interlaced in the context of the papers presented. We do not require the additional step into ridiculously over-worked and unwarranted wording. Simply present that which plagues your deliberations in a clear and articulate manner, without the comical and obvious aid of a unpracticed or over-hyped hand: the thesaurus.

When one wishes to convey that which is configuring into a greater understanding in one's own mental capacities, do so in a manner which allows those examining the revelation to truly delve deep into that which you are attempting to explain, rather than using the epiphany as a way to assert that you are capable of properly utilizing words that no one, including you, is able to easily define and comprehend.

The existence of a young pupil is laborious enough without the added vexation of being resigned to reread the same overly-flourished sentence on a myriad of occasions before finally concluding with frustration that the hidden meaning is, in actuality, quite simplistic and able to be expressed in several words of mundane prose, rather than the flowery shenanigans that some choose to torment us with. Reading the long-winded and repetitive works of a scholar who has decided to play a one-man game of "what-is-the-most-monumental-yet-nonessential-word-choice-I-can-use-for-each-and-every-sentence?" is beyond the realms of my fairly substantial aggregation of patience. Simply put: I do not like them dear scholars and writers, I do not like migraines and overnighters.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
