During this semester I hope to learn how to further better my writing skills. I struggle quite a bit with being able to put together an essay. I have also always struggled with grammar and really just English in general. In high school, English and math were always my hardest subjects because I just didn't grasp the information and I just didn't understand it. So I hope that in this class I can learn more about grammar and be able to edit essays well. When it comes time to edit my peer's essays I can't really do the best job because I don't really know what I am looking for.

The second paper was quite a bit harder writing than the first one for several different reasons. Our diagnostic paper was primarily based on our personal experiences and stuff we have been through. The second paper was we had to use other people’s experiences and sources. So, it became a little harder. Needing to know how to cite certain things and learning how to word things without sounding like it is someone else’s words. That is the biggest thing I struggle with is trying to find things online to put into my paper. Citing different websites is difficult because I cannot figure out what I need and what I do not need. So, I would say that by far the second paper has been harder to write and put together and make as perfect as I could than the first one was.

I both agree and disagree with the fact that college students struggle to balance their schoolwork and the tasks of everyday life. I know that for me when I first started college, I struggled big time. It was a really big adjustment for me because I was just used to waking up every day and going to work 8-5 and going home and not having to worry about schoolwork. Once I started college that wasn’t my daily schedule anymore. My schedule became very choppy, I was working a full-time job in part-time hours all while still being a full-time student. I struggled to find time for family and friends but once you find your own groove it gets a lot easier to manage. You know when you can and can’t do certain things like hanging out with friends and family. But it all works out in the end and you learn to love the crazy unstable life you have.

Everything that you find in a website and you decide to put it in your paper you need to cite it. It does not matter if it is only a couple of words you have to cite it. If you do not then it could come back as plagiarizing and you could fail the class and sometimes even be dismissed from the whole school. Citing is a very big deal in college and people do not realize that when they are writing papers, even if it is for a different class besides English or something related to English.
