Three types of high school teachers I had were, the notes and test type, the lecture type, and the movie type. In many classes teachers simply read notes off of a screen and everyone copies them down. The teacher might indicate every now and then that something is going to be on the test but other than that pretty touch and go. Then there's the lecture teacher, who thinks you can write down every word they are saying and has like 3 things on each slide. These teachers are the ones who claim no one listens. Then the movie teachers who don't teach just make you watch a short film and do the quiz at the end and turn it in.

Friends

The types of friends I have in my life are, my best friend, my human diary, and my party friend. Each one of these types of friends wholes a special place in my heart, but you just can't do things with one person that you can do with another. My party friend is fun, we talk on weekends and some weekdays, but mostly weekends. We like to travel, turn up, and go have fun. My human diary is more of a on the phone friend. We don't see each other a lot, maybe 2-3 times a month, but we are on the phone 24/7. I tell her everything and she tells me everything. My best friend has been my friend for close to 20 years and we don't talk much but know where our hearts lie.

Blogs

Compared to the diagnostic essay, the illustrative essay was a bit of a challenge. The diagnostic essay was pretty easy because it was free hand, not as many restrictions, not as long, and not graded as harshly. After not writing in a while, I think I did pretty good on the new essay, but only because of the warm up diagnostic essay. The illustrative essay was differently more challenging. It was a longer essay, with more restrictions on grammar and sentence structure. My thesis was definitely stronger this essay after the added help. My work cited is a lot better after the lessons and such.

When to Cite

When writing any type of essay you should always cite information you got from somewhere else. If you did not come up with the information yourself it can be cited. It is important to cite because if you do not it is counted as cheating and will result in an F or in more serious cases, jail type and payout. Using someone's else words that they have ownership to is like stealing from a store. You should never use anything some one said without citing it.

MLA Formatting

I've been doing MLA formatting and work cited since freshman year in high school at Columbus High School. Each paper in every class had to be in MLA format or was marked wrong. This is the reason it comes so easy to me after doing it 4 year straight. My only issue is not knowing what to cite. Unless it is a research paper of some kind I do not believe you should have to cite. Who would you be citing, yourself? Also when it comes to MLA format remembering each step and everything that is on the paper is very hard so maybe so type of checklist would be helpful.

College Students

College students often struggle to balance their school work with the demands of everyday life. Everyday you wake up, running to the bathroom, then to the kitchen for coffee. School early this morning seems like a regret, until you are home by 5 in the evening completing  homework and still have at least 30 minutes to take a nap before your night shift. Working night shift is easy until you have to get off and go home and wake up at 6 AM. Life is hard and on Monday through Thursday you work your hardest, but when the weekend comes it's time for fun. Friday and Saturday you work day night and make sure to get off in time to go to the mall, and go out with friends. When it comes to the hard life of college teens, they make their life hard by not prioritizing and making smart decisions.

Life

No one is ever meant to be alone in life. I believe there is someone out there for everybody. During life everyone meets that person they think they will be friends with forever, but most friendships don't make it pass high school. A best friend is hard to come by because every individual has a different life and future, and everybody isn't meant to be apart of that. A lot of the time people will show you that they are not meant to be apart of your life with the flaw things that they do. Some will do little things that you will forgive, others will do things that break your heart. I believe it take times but everybody will find somebody.
