I would like to think that my college experience was a series of papers. The writing began with my application essay and culminated with the eventual writing of a thesis for my graduate degree.
About halfway through my college career, I’d written a large number of research papers on paper. Now this might seem a little strange to now, but that was the norm back then. If you can believe it, we even had to submit our completed assignments into drop boxes.
It wasn’t until my third year in college that they introduced an online essay submission process in an attempt to speed up marking as well as reduce the amount of paper the college consumed each year.
By the end of my college degree I had written nearly 90 research papers and close to one million words of text. Though that may seem like a lot, I only really scratched the surface.
