       I always happen to format my paper all the way wrong and I don’t know how. I always read the instructions given by my teacher and all the necessities but some thing seems to always go wrong . It isn’t hard to understand they are pretty easy instructions to follow, but my problem is the comprehension part. I turned my paper in around five-ish and I come to class only to find out I formatted my paper incorrectly. It’s in a some kind of MLA Format, just not the right one. In text citations and the works cited is also easy to follow just because Mr. B has so so so so so so so many documents on citations. Easy access, yessir.

        Plagiarism  occurs when outside information that is used in an essay is not cited correctly or cited at all.  Once a source is found and incorporated, the source needs to be cited.  Always properly cite an author's original idea,  regardless of whether you have directly quoted or paraphrased it.   Your source citation of a book, website, article, or dictionary shows that an expert backs up your statement and tells the reader how to find the facts. All In all siting your information is an away step and very much necessary to avoid any major errors of plagiarism that will result in an F and further action.

         Ok so to start this essay was way much fast and easier for me to achieve. Which is honestly surprising after all of the problems that I have been having with life. This is because I originally thought I was behind my class. I was out for a week so I had checked the schedule and idk. I was wrong complete and freaked out for nothing. Because I thought I was behind I went home the next day and wrote my essay that night, not completely finishing but having for paragraphs. This essay definitely required more information and searching. I had to be more careful about how I worded everything and to make sure they were all supporting my thesis statement. It was much easier because I was just providing information to the reader while supporting my thesis. I also always try to pick topics that I know interest me, so it is easier for me to find a flow of words.

         Ok so my closest friend shaniyah, she is a talker and a dreamer. She is more like me than any of my friendships. She is an optimist but she also is more privileged than I am. I don’t love her any less. She is more conservative and has morals and goals that align with mine. She wishes to become a psychologist as if now but I have a feeling that is might change. My BIFFLE chandler is my oldest of friends. I first met her my freshmen year at central freshman academy. She isn’t my smartest fiend but she is the most hype. She always done for the get down. She needs a little more guidance in life than others but hey 🤷🏽‍♀️. Anyways she went to the navy and right now we don’t know when will be able to see her because of the corona. She is the friend that chose me and I can’t get rid of her, but I don’t want to either. Kadori is my gay friend. He is my most relatable friend. We basically have the same life situations kinda. Anyways he is my friend that knows t...

          College students often struggle to keep up with their schoolwork while also keeping up with life. Life comes quick and when college is involved it multiplies. School in itself is a personal job, you have to manage your time, grades and life all at once. School is more advanced and challenging than what it used to be. Many people who push to achieve an education but also have day-to-day life problems struggle. Colleges often try to be more flexible for their students and also teachers so that everyone can prosper. Most students have a job and also have to balance school and work life. This often causes stress and once we are stressed all hell breaks loose. Your hair isn’t done, you look like a bum you got 6 assignments due tomorrow and you got to work til’ 12 pm tonight. That is what you call quitting time. (lol,JK) College is the first real taste of independence for a lot of people. This means that many of the decisions that were once made for y...

You are my inner thoughts and you know the vibes. Best friend you know me because in another world, you are me and I am you.
