College Level Writing (Week 7)

         This blog is for a college level Composition 2 class. It wouldn't look that way going off the type of writings I have been slowly pumping out. Surprisingly, I do know how to write quite well, and it's pretty damn formal at that. It just isn't my style. Even my first two or three blog posts have that forced semi-formal appearance to them. Look at what I write now, I essentially have a one-sided conversation and just vent to YOU, the reader that's stuck looking at this stuff for some probably masochistic reason.

        Back to college level writing. I got to wondering some things about it. For starters, why does writing have to be so uptight and formal to be acceptable? I know who's reading it. 9/10 times it's just my professor that is probably sick and tired of reading formal essays at this point. I understand that I have to pretty much write as if the president themself(I had to google if themself was a word now. Turns out it is because of that push for singular they/them pronouns) was going to read my paper on why some self-righteous holier than thou b.s. is not grounds for saying the protagonist had good writing in a book no one reads anymore outside of school to begin with. I just want to write. That's it.

        I know complaining will do absolutely nothing, and actually becoming a teacher so I can do something about won't work because some Ivy League big shot will have something to say. Come on though, doesn't it get boring after a while? That's why I like my creative writing time. I can just write like three words and improv the rest and boom, decent writing I can jazz up later when I actually end up using it.
