What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

All of my research essays before college were written on paper done by hand and still had to have citations or we failed. We weren't allowed to print anything. And we had one pretty much every year of regular school.

^ Huh, interesting. I remember one time in 7th grade I got no points for my bibliography because the spacing was slightly off, or something... but that was before high school.

That being said, they didn't really ever make us hand-write MLA citations. In fact, I rarely even did actual essays 10-12. It was all papers based off stuff in class, so we didn't have to look up additional information.

My high school was weird though, and I hated it. But that's a rant for another time, ehhh.

We even had to cite the assigned textbooks in my schools. Technically, it's plagiarism if you don't cite it. I doubt anyone was gonna take little kids to court, but they implied they would. Scared us into trying.

Here, any research essays could be done by hand or on a computer, although teachers preferred to have them done on a PC, then printed. We also utilize the school's/college's digital platform quite often. For example, instead of physically delivering an essay, we have to upload it to that platform and send it to the teacher, as a Word/PowerPoint/etc document.

At college, it was all printed from a computer or submitted digitally, like what you describe, but in all the other levels of school, we wrote them on paper. We didn't have computers at the school to just use willy nilly, and back in those days it wasn't expected that there'd be a computer in every single house.

It feels so weird rooting for my favourite team to lose, but if they want to be good one day, they must first be terrible.

Yeah, they gave us the same spiel in like 4th grade, I think it was. That's when they started making us cite things. But then in high school, they just stopped caring or something... IDK what it was. But we were never expected to do those things anymore. I don't really have any explanation for it. *giant shrug* lmao

That's how college works here, as well. It's actually quite nice to be honest. Definitely different from how things were done before.

^I know right? I feel like it's less stressy, too. No "OMG, I MUST PRINT THIS.".

Yeah, that makes sense. Back when I was in Primary school (1st to 4th grades), not everyone had internet in their homes, so essays and projects were a bit limited. It's different, now.

I really don't want to make an announcement of it, that just feels awkward. Urk.

[Marizzle]

That thread is pure gold. No doubts.

[Shadowfax]

^ Which?

And meep I'm sleepy tonight.

Revolution I was gutted! Really got into it then BAM, no more.

This cold feels like it might be going already.... either I've got a great immune system atm or its just a mild cold... hmm.

[Carl]

Why do I keep getting logged out of a sudden?

I've been off soda for just 2 days, and I'm already feeling caffeine withdrawals.

I've been off soda for just 2 days, and I'm already feeling caffeine withdrawals.

How I did it was that I gradually lowered my soda intake instead of going cold turkey. Then, I drank a cup of green tea or two per day after giving up sodas, which has a little caffiene but not as much as soda which helped shake off the withdrawls.
