Well, I must say, this essay was MUCH harder than the first one!! Originally, I didn't think it would turn out to be as hard as it was. Because I'm a good writer, I thought I could wait until a couple days before it was due, and then work my magic!! However, I found it particularly hard to come up with 5 pages of good, worthwhile discussion about the topic I chose.
I ended up choosing the 3rd option which was about whether or not I believe dramas and comedies are more or less realistic than reality television. I said that they WERE more realistic, but I had trouble typing 5 pages explaining why. I felt like I kept repeating myself just to make the paper longer, and I've never really had to do that. Luckily, my sister, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, was able to help me come up with different ideas to talk about that would make the paper longer. I think if it wasn't for her, my paper would've ended up being even shorter than it was.
As I look back on it, I probably should've set aside more time to work on the essay. Normally, even though I procrastinate, the paper usually ends up being A or B worthy. And, while I think this paper is too, I don't want to make staying up 'til 2 in the morning working on a paper a trend. All in all, I think my paper is in the B to B- range. I got an A- on the first essay, so, hopefully, I can remain within the first two letters of the alphabet on this one as well!!
