    Columbus State: Two campuses, one river, and a whole lot of potential.

    We have two main campuses: the main one in midtown Columbus, and the RiverPark campus right on the Chattahoochee River downtown. They're totally different vibes. The main campus is traditional—green spaces, dorms, classrooms, the usual. It's where most of the action is. The RiverPark campus is...

    Finally figured out how many sentences are in an essay and it changed everything

    I used to be the person counting sentences like it was a math problem 😂. Five paragraphs times five sentences equals twenty-five sentences right?? Wrong apparently. I had a breakdown last month over my lit essay and went to the writing center and the tutor basically changed my whole perspective...

    Tatiana Schlossberg essay taught me more about oncology than my textbooks have

    I thought I understood cancer. I thought I understood what patients go through. Then I read Tatiana Schlossberg's essay in The New Yorker and realized I knew absolutely nothing. 😔 Schlossberg walks through her entire medical journey with this brutal honesty that no textbook could ever capture...

    Can my Oklahoma university essay capture why i'm leaving the peach state?

    I need to know if anyone else from the South is going through this specific kind of emotional whiplash. I'm from a tiny town outside Savannah where the humidity hits you like a wall the second you step outside, where sweet tea is a food group, and where everyone I know is either staying in...

    Why i trashed my common app essay and started over?

    I was so proud of myself. I finished my first draft two months early. It was about my volunteer trip to build houses. It had adversity, growth, the whole package. I showed it to my older brother, who's a junior at NYU, and he just looked at me and said, "So... you're the guy who likes to help...

    Ethical question: is using an essay extender website cheating or smart?

    I'm gonna ask the controversial question because I genuinely don't know where I land on this. 🤔 There are SO many websites and tools now that claim to help extend your essays. Some of them just generate fluff sentences. Some rephrase your existing content to make it longer. Some add transition...

    Technical writing: what is the most surprising thing?

    For me it's how much psychology is involved. Not what I expected at all. 🧠 We spend so much time talking about how people read (they don't, they scan), how people learn (by doing, not reading), how people handle mistakes (poorly, emotionally). It's essentially applied psychology with...

    Finally learned how to detect ai writing! here's my story

    Hello, wonderful people! 💖 I just had to pop in and share a little victory with you all. I'm a first-year grad student, and my entire world right now is a 20,000-word dissertation chapter on post-colonial theory. It's intense, but I'm loving it. 🤓 A few weeks ago, I hit a massive wall. I had...

    Cheap essay writing service vs. my bank account: a love story 💖

    I have to share this because I'm still riding the wave of relief! I'm a broke college student (aren't we all?), and I had three papers due in the same week, plus a part-time job. I was running on energy drinks and pure panic. 😵 I kept seeing ads for essay services, but I always assumed they were...
