What Benjamin Franklin said of death and taxes is equally true of writing assignments. Like it or not, they may be the single bastion of certainty in your post admission world.
Even seasoned writers spend the occasional sleepless night agonizing over their next paper. And for those who arenâ?™t so linguistically inclined, the trauma can be much more severe. With a few simple adjustments however, you could be on your way to turning in your next â?˜Aâ?™ paper with well-rested confidence. Your unique writing style is an innate extension of who you are. Even if form is not your forte, keeping in mind this handful of guidelines can help you find or perfect the essential voice that will get you the grade you deserve.

Getting Started

It sounds like absurdly common sense, but the first thing to do is get off the ground. Pick a time and place where youâ?™re comfortable and least likely to encounter distractions, and use that space to give your assignment some thought. Whether youâ?™re most comfortable in the buzzing anonymity of a crowded campus center, under a shady tree, or huddled cozily by the midnight glow of your computer, go with it. Whatever feels right is best. As you brainstorm, create a rough outline of your project to guide you. Jumping into a writing project without situating yourself mentally is about as wise as entering a swim meet without warming up first. Even if you donâ?™t cramp up completely, youâ?™ll be lucky to find your groove before your time is up. And speaking of time, be sure to leave yourself plenty. Yes, there are those of us who claim to perform best under pressure, but the pressure for most is intense enough as it is, and over-confidence is bound to backfire eventually.

The words college or university are used very loosely to describe almost any school that you can attend after high school, but the truth is that there are actually some very distinct differences between the types of post-secondary schools that are out there.

Universities are institutions of higher learning that consist of graduate schools, professional schools (medicine, law, business, etc.), and an undergraduate program. A university awards both graduate (masters and doctorates) and undergraduate degrees (bachelors of arts and sciences) and has a tendency to be larger and more research-oriented.

Colleges are usually smaller in enrollment than a university and the emphasis is placed on undergraduate education. Liberal arts colleges offer a more traditional and general education in subjects such as literature, history, mathematics, natural science, social science, language, art, and music. Colleges that don't refer to themselves as "liberal arts" will offer a broader-based curriculum with specialized programs or majors that correlate with specific careers such as journalism, marketing, business, or nursing.

Art and design schools offer two- or four-year degrees in the areas of drawing, music, performance, fashion, dance, theater, architecture, photography, and more. These schools offer very specialized courses of study and often require an additional audition or portfolio in order to be considered for admission.

Community or technical colleges offer two-year programs at a lower cost with the possibility of transferring those credits toward a four-year degree at a university or liberal arts college or immediately entering the workforce with practical training in fields like health or technology.

Vocational or trade schools offer hands-on training and certification in a particular field or occupation such as automotive services, cosmetology, culinary arts, or information technology. The programs can last anywhere from several weeks to a few years.
