Why Writing Is Important

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” - Ray Bradbury

Why Writing Is Important

Writing is as difficult as the own unique perspective each person has while composing a piece of work. Every article, journals, photographs and paintings have their own individualized meaning in each of their work. One may be displaying their happiness through the work and another may express the calamity and chaos of their life depicted into an abstract form of presentation. Creating this outlook on writing, specifically, it allows people to understand their feelings and break apart their feelings, emotions, and their visuals to translate it somehow into words, letting others dive into your unique world.

Building up so much and keeping it within yourself is a constant ticking time bomb. By writing everything down, it releases the emotions into words. Even though it gets hard expressing those feelings, it really makes you realize more about yourself as you start to write and incorporate all your emotions that you end up holding back. By creating these works, it allows someone to have some kind of expressivity or a representation of what they are going through.

Simply writing all the time about my observations have created changes with my outlooks on life and how I see the world personally, gaining more insight than I have ever had before. Instead of simply just glancing at a person, you begin to observe them. Aspects including how they talk, interact, their movements, the way they handle things and much, much more. In some cases, the nonverbal tactics can express many things about an individual, revealing first impressions.

In other cases, it can turn against you and causes one to overthink, becoming the opposite of rationality. Letting people in can turn difficult because you tend to break down a person down to their core. You become skeptical about things, not having the gut instinct most people have. You begin to doubt yourself, confusing thoughts and feelings into something logical, something that should feel, instead of what you actually feel.

Having these overflows of feelings can turn you into someone that holds back and gets scared to take risks, breaking down the consequences involved. By being such an open yet closed person can get tough to deal with and understand. The barriers within them are more difficult to break, creating the closed off vibe that someone might give off. As a writer, although there may be some negatives involved, the incentives such as understanding yourself within this chaos of a world makes it very much worth it.

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.
