My views, unlike Mr. Stephen Kings.

To me, and to I am sure many more people, I do not believe there is quite a “definition” of what bad writing and good writing is. Bad writing can range from simply bad grammer to a story that may as well be written in German because nobody knows what is even semi going on in the story. Good writing, well, I have many definitions.
To me, a good writer is far more than correct grammer (although for me that is a big thing..I even hate bad grammer in text messages. I can deal without the commas, but if there should be a period and there is not and you just go onto the next sentence…ugh). A good writer should fully develop their character (be it a story) and make their main character someone the reader cares about. Be it a research paper, the writer should choose a topic with which will not only suffice for a variety of people, but also something they are passionate about. There is nothing worse than reading a research paper where you can tell the writer could honestly care less. I mean come on, they are already boring enough. To me, good writing means passion.
Bad writing is when thoughts jump around too much (and of course the classic bad grammer which apparently I hate). Sometimes you can follow it, but why make it such a challenge? By that point the reading is not even enjoyable. I also hate when the characters are boring. I was originally, under good writing, going to say that relatable characters are part of good writing. But that is so not true. One of my favorite characters is Dr. Greg House from, you guessed it, House the show. But he is such a jerk and totally unrelatable (hopefully) but I love him anyway. Make sure your characters do not bore you. If they bore you, they will bore your reader.

Obsessions.

To be honest, this is only because I know that someone is being forced into reading this. I would come up with something a little more creative to write about in my free response blog, but I am too scared to do so just yet. Not until I become more comfortable in this online, letting everyone see what I am writing thing does it become more interesting. So now, I am going to write about what I like to do with my life.

First off, one thing you should know is that I am a chemistry education major. You need to know this because then you will fully understand just how crazy I am. I mean seriously, try to think back to the last time you had a science teacher not be completely out of their mind. Well, that profession fully fits my personality, bonus is that I do love chemistry.

Second you should know is that I love to dance. There is just something about it that unless you dance you do not understand how happy it can make someone. Most have this connection to the arts through music. You get like a natural high off of listening to a really great song. That is how dance is for me. It is just a stress reliever for me. It is my workout. It is my get away from real life sometimes. Like nothing can get to me when I am at my team practice.

Feel free to respond by saying if you love all the same things as me. If you completely disagree, I do not really want to hear your opinion…I know it is a blog and this is me putting up what I like, but you have your own blog to say what you love. So have at it. You have 300 words to do so.

The best of the worst.

Every incoming freshman wonders what it will be like coming college. Such a new experience, will I like it? Will I adjust well? Will I ever be homesick? It’s natural to have feelings like this. When I came to school I had a list of pros and cons running through my head about how I would feel about college. But I would never know until I got here. So now, being asked this question after experiencing a whole semester in college I can honestly answer. One think I absolutely hate about college is being away from home. I know I am nineteen years old but who cares, I miss my mommy. Without getting out all the gory details of my life, my mom and I have been though a lot together. And sometimes being away from her breaks my heart a little. The other thing that I could not possibly hate more at college is (and I know people will gasp at first but let me get through it) is the lack of homework we get here. Homework was always the thing I could rely on to get my grades back up. I’m a horrific test taker, there’s nothing else to it. I need those homework points. Alright, well now since I’ve complained enough about the things I don’t like about college I may as well get to the things I do like. As much as I miss my family and my mom, I do not miss the curfew that came with that. Like seriously? Over winter break I still had to be home by one AM? Ridonc. I also like how much independence you get here. It’s not that I didn’t tell my family what my grades were, but they had to ask me. In college you are an adult, and here you are treated as one.
