4 Tips For Writers, Beginner And Beyond
https://www.pexels.com/photo/homework-paper-pen-person-267491/
This is a short guide from a beginner with a few of my personal tips and tools. This is for the people who write in class instead of paying attention but still (somehow) understands what is going on in class. And then saves what they write as drafts even after they finish it out of fear of publishing it. I am like that so I can understand it.

1. Write everything that you want without thinking about anything else, even word limits.

I work better when I just sit down and start writing without being interrupted. Write whatever comes to mind when you have time. If you like to write a bit and come back to it later, then it is no problem. By writing everything you want, you make sure that you can include everything important without skipping over something while your thinking about other things.

2. Pick and choose the most important points and work around it.

When you are done writing and are satisfied with everything you write, it's time to cut it down. Similar to when a bush over grows, you want to cut it down until it meets the requirements. Cut out anything you realize you are rambling about (Trust me, there is going to be a lot).

3. Run it through google translate, especially if it's a story.

Google Translate is your friend. It has a limit of 5000 letters per entry but it works if you spot an error. You can work in small sections and still keep up. This is the part that helps me catch any grammar errors or repeating words I make while I am writing continuously.

4. Trust yourself (And everyone who helped you)

The end product of your words is your metaphorical baby. Don't be ashamed of it. There is times when you will hate it but you will be happy in the long run. I know that your nervous but you really can't do anything about it. Be happy and confident that others may benefit from what you wrote and at least take away what you put out there. And the people who help you make it happen are taking their own time to help you catch anything you missed.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. 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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
