Meal Times

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

             I am duly informed from reliable sources that in most parts of the world people are used to eating at least three times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner (supper). That is a conventional way of doing things and I can’t question it, struggle as I may to do that because that is the way it is and that it the way it forever will be. Nonetheless, that can’t and indeed shouldn’t prevent me from giving a view of how campus students’ meal times differ from the conventional meal times. University students are plain eccentric, for want of a better expression. If you put the things they do into perspective, you will realize it is very hard to believe that they did such things while still upright thinking members of the society.

            When I joined college last year very many things surprised me but perhaps nothing astonished me more as the thing to do with meals. University students eat at any and every time they feel like it. There are very many reasons that can be put forward as to why it happens so, chief of which is that campus students like being different from the masses. It is not unheard of to see students have their typical breakfast as their dinner and vice versa. Some even have breakfast at the time they are supposed to be having their lunch.

            The only group of students that comes close to fitting into the conventional times has to be the group that comprises students who are involved in essay writing service companies as essay writers and what have you. These employed students tend to respect their meal times as they are aware of the strain that may arise when meals come at irregular intervals. The rest of us don’t give a damn when we have our meals, but that we have them all the same.

Figures of Speech

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

            In essay writing, you need to show off your language skills. And I don’t mean your Spanish vocabulary or your ability to punctuate properly, I mean your use of the English language in a creative way. When writing college admittance essays, literary essays, or any essay at all, the way you speak is often just as important as how you speak. (Or in this case, write).

            In the real world, people do not speak plainly. We use innuendos, puns, metaphors, and exaggeration to get our point across. Very seldom is what we’re saying actually what we mean. As a teacher, I’ve often called my students a bunch of monkeys. Does that literally mean that they live in trees, seek bananas, and pick nits out of each others’ hair? No, it does not. (At least I hope not). It means that they sometimes drive me crazy. It’s called a metaphor. Get it?

            I’ll break it down. First we’ll tackle metaphors and similes. These are both types of figurative language where two things are compared. Saying, ‘love is like a bird’ is a simile. It is saying that love makes you feel open, peaceful, free, wild, and so on. Saying that the ‘world is a circus’ implies that life/society is adventurous, wild, creative, and full of animals. Using these two figures of speech in your essays will help you convey multiple meanings with just a few words.

            Another example of figurative language is hyperbole. Hyperbole is a fancy word for exaggeration. Extreme exaggeration. When someone says they are hungry enough to eat a horse, I don’t think they actually are hungry enough to find a horse in a nearby field, chop it in two, and ingest it. But the point they’re making is that they’re pretty darn hungry and they need food right away. Using hyperbole in your essay, especially in a satirical or persuasive essay could have a large impact on the reader.

            Understanding what figurative language is and using it are two different things. It will take practice. One way to start is to write down the things that people say in your day-to-day life. You can write down a list of expressions that you use as well. At the end of the day, look at your list. How many of the sentences actually make sense if you read them plainly? How many are actually hinting at other meanings?

            You might be surprised.

Essay Writing (Planning)

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

                 So, you’ve picked a topic and you have a plethora of wonderful ideas running through your head. You’ve know the requirements for the assignment, and what your professor is seeking. You’ve even completed research! And the deadline for the essay isn’t for fourteen hours yet.

                But how do you get the essay actually written? You’ve already stalled by baking muffins and cleaning the bathroom because you’re not sure how to organize all your fantastic thoughts.

                There are several ways you can organize your ideas, making the actual essay writing thereby easier. One strategy is to write down every thought and research tidbit you have on a piece of large paper. Then you can circle or number the ideas that appear to go together or are evidence of the same point. These grouped ideas will all go in the same paragraph, and it gives you an idea of what that paragraph is about. Any extra ideas can be expanded on with further thought or research, and repetitive phrases can be eliminated.

                Another organizational strategy, maybe for someone doing a literary analysis, would be a web. You can place character traits or themes in a bubble and attach corresponding points to the appropriate bubble. Then you’ll be able to easily see if you have enough information for a full paragraph, or which one needs more work before you actually start to write.

                For an essay that deals with the comparison of subjects, a Venn Diagram is a useful planning too. It consists of two interlocking circles that have the two subjects listed in each. Information matching each subject is placed in the corresponding circle, and any information that is common between the two is placed in the middle (interlocking) circle. With this strategy, the essay is planned out visually, with each paragraph’s information already sorted.

                Planning and organizing your information before you start writing your essay may seem tedious, but it is a necessary step in the essay writing process. It will make paragraphs clearer and your entire essay more concise. The writing time will be cut down, as you won’t have to be looking for the quote or statistic that you need; it will already be organized in front of you.

University Lecturers

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

            University lecturers are the second most important people in learning institutions apart from the students themselves. They are important because they complete the learning process by imparting knowledge to their students. They need to be respected and taken seriously by their students if the latter are to have a genuine chance or shot at success; after all, the university lecturers have been around the block for long and they have a trick or two up their sleeves that could prove beneficial to the students who are still trying to cut out a niche for themselves in the society.

Some students are in the habit of scorning their university lecturers, most probably because they spite the teaching profession as a whole or because the lecturers don’t match their level of ambition in life. Worse still, the lecturers may be despised because perhaps they appear as though they don’t match the wealth status of such students’ families. In fact, some essay writing students make more money from the essay service companies they work for than their lecturers. Whatever the reason, it is depressing to note that some students look down upon their lecturers. To a lecturer, there is nothing worse than that in the academic world.

            I have personally witnessed my fellow students ignoring what the lecturers say to them during the days when there are riots in campus. Students should take what the lecturers tell them as far as academic studies are concerned as gospel truths because lecturers simply know what is best for their students. If a student has a query of any kind on any subject, the best authority to unravel or solve the question has to be the lecturers. Some students are in the habit of purporting to know more than their lecturers, and they even go ahead and mock their lecturers in the full glare of their fellow class mates. There is a reason why the students are students and the lecturers are lecturers. One should learn from the other, and that can never change.

Lecturer’s Pets

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

             There is nothing worse in this world than being part of a family where parents show some form of discrimination towards their children. It makes a child feel out of place in the place that he or she should never feel out of place. It is a bad trend because when a kid develops with such a mental picture in his mind, it is very hard to convince him that there is a place in the world where there is no discrimination. In any case, who can blame him? After all, the only place where he was to get the best of treatment is his home; where he was discriminated upon by his parents for one reason or another.

            In a campus situation, the discrimination that can make one feel like puking and pissing at the same time is the kind of discrimination or favoritism that a lecturer can show to his students. It hurts if your tutor shows indifference to some of his students for whatever reason. It is an action that doesn’t add any positive emotions and must be castigated in the strongest possible terms. It is wrong out and out and it impacts worse to the life of a student than failing an exam could ever impart. I remember being told apart by my lecturer because I used to work as an essay writer and I was apparently wealthy. I tried getting to the gist of the matter with him but I realized I could never be the lecturer’s pet.

            When all this was going on, I realized that there were a few guys and ladies who used to pass all the exams that this given lecturer used to give even though they never used to show up in most of his classes. I learnt later that they used to work for the lecturer, even going as far as marking some of the essays that the lecturer gave us as assignments.  They were pets indeed.

I would be a professional essay writer if I got a chance to

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

When I was growing up, I had my own aspirations which I wanted to see come true one day. Of course I didn’t have someone to tell me that there are always many bumps on the way and I at no time ever thought that I will not make it as a pilot. We all understand how it is with every child. They want to be engineers, doctors, pilots and if they have a liking for their school teacher, they will then tell you they want to be a teacher. This was my case then and I still remember how passionate I was about becoming a pilot. Well, you understand that it was not that I knew anything about piloting nor had I any idea how tough a job this can be but I longed to be above the ground watching everything else developing under my nose.

I will however be honest with you that I never became a pilot and the only time I came near the understanding of this job is when I wrote an essay on the aviation industry. I have written many essays since then but of them all, I found this one to be a little bit interest owing to a number of reasons. To begin with, it is something that I only had a passion for as a young boy and I never followed it up when I was growing up. It is therefore something that I had to do a thorough research on if I was to produce a sensible essay that would be helpful to someone else.

I have over the years come to appreciate the place essay writing holds in the overall life especially when one wants to understand things about life. I first of all came to understand this when I was in my second year in college. I was supposed to write a few essays on religion and the effects it has on people especially in Cuba. I didn’t realize that this will be a great opportunity for me to understand things to do with socialism and the politics of this country. Is fact if I were to be a child again, I think I will be willing to be a professional in essay writing and offer my skills in this area.

I used to be just like that, always rushing, there was often so much to finish with such a tight deadline that none of them got the attention they deserved.  And what was worse that the subjects I really needed to do well on were getting mediocre marks.

And then I found this custom essay writing service.  They advertise themselves as being here to provide unparalleled essays to aid a suffering student.  Their custom written compositions enabled me to meet my deadlines, and stop defaulting on essential essay submissions.

.Anyway once you are in contact you tell them the title you need and the reading matter.  Because they have already done the course they tend to know the reading matter and are able to answer the questions with very little trouble.  I have only used them to do essays on the ancillary courses that I have to take but which do nothing for my engineering studies.  The important thing is that a few times I checked with Copyscape to make sure it wasn't copied from the internet somewhere and now I don't bother anymore.
