The Innermost Thoughts of a Broke College Student

      Do you remember when I said that writing a microtheme was easy?  Well, I was wrong. My paper had quite some flaws. I'm a huge perfectionist so I'm determined to fix every single one of the errors. I was told that my paper was a bit wordy and sounded a bit too much like a research paper, which I agree with. It's hard to write more freely when all of my life I've been told to support my claims and use the highest vocabulary. Nevertheless, I do enjoy a challenge when it comes to writing. I ended up deleting most of my unnecessary intro and stepping my vocabulary down a bit. My goal is to get at least an A on it. I enjoy the openness of college, though there is somewhat of a certain format to this type of writing, I no longer feel like my mind is in a box. At this point in my writing though, I have no idea what else to say. Deleting as much as I did left me with a little bit more than half a page.

What I am passionate about is changing other people's views on it, and help those who also don't understand the struggle by using facts a...

      Hello and welcome to my very first blog post! My name is Kiersten and I am a Freshman majoring in Marketing. I'd say starting college again is a very bittersweet feeling. I am very excited to start this new stage in my life, but I do have some doubts about my academic abilities. Ever since the First grade, when my teacher asked me to answer a question to which I replied "I don't know, I'm stupid.", I have always carried around this sense of self-doubt. Since then I have worked on my confidence, but there will always be this lingering fear of inadequacy. I guess that is my main concern about college. What if I don't use words that are smart enough? What if I'm not able to keep up? What if I fail all my classes and waste my parent's money?"." What if ?"."What if" seems to be the root of most of my internal conflicts. So I've decided that in this new chapter of my life, I'm going to be turning those "What if?...
