Help a Bad Writer Out, Yo


To the 3 people that read this blog:

I realize you owe me nothing. I rarely update. When I do, I rant about subjects of little importance. However, I need your help. If you can find the mercy and time to assist me, I'm requesting your valuable opinion. Please skim, peek at, or read the following essays and tell me which one you prefer. For one of the grad schools I'm applying to, I'm including 2 short essays that hopefully show my ability to write shorter, not horrible pieces. The rest of my writing sample is 25-pages long, so I'm including essays of brevity to showcase my diverse writing talent. Whatever, man. Anyway, I already have one picked out, but I can't decide on the other. Help please! Oh, if you do decide to offer assistance and read the essays, please ignore my lame, bad smile picture found next to the column. Here are the essays and here's hoping, despite my bad bloggerness, I receive some sort of feedback. Thanks!

ESSAY 1: Showering could be hazardous to your health


ESSAY 2:Stay awake with stinky feet, full bladder

Mandakay: Is that because you work with me and you would suffer if I followed the advice of the first article?

JJ: I just realized "loofah" spelled backward is ha fool. Awesome.

I loved both. I prefer Number Two, humor and prose-wise. I'm also a fan of daily showers buuttt, I wonder if your honesty will be rewarded or will they hold the fact that you sleep in class against you?

Definitely go with essay Number One.
