I was not too sure on what activity on campus I would partake in to fulfill my third and final blogpost requirement, but then while talking with a friend about it I figured out what I would do. We had both been assigned a four page essay on gender in society for our English class. We figured, why not take advantage of the writing center that we have heard so much about. So we made our way to the eighth floor and sought out help on our essays. To be completely frank I am not too fond of having other people critique my writing. The reason for this is because I don’t like being told that my writing is bad and how am I supposed to know that the advice I am getting will actually aid in me achieving the goal of getting a good grade. Besides the various reservations I held towards getting help, I took my chance and went anyway. After the experience, I can honestly say that the visit to the writing center was very helpful. The people there were very kind and understanding of my situation. They were sincerely just trying to help me in whatever way possible. By the end of the session they had read my essay and given me critical feedback that I will be using to improve my piece of writing. So if you ever need a fresh set of eyes to read your work over and give you constructive criticism, then the writing center can be a great tool for you.
