my first paper

Did I like writing my first college paper? The correct answer is yes. It got me back into the swing of things. After having a whole summer off, with no summer work writing my first paper was a bit of a struggle. Writing the “meat” of the paper was the hardest part. There were no specific directions to know what exactly I was supposed to write about. I tried steering my paper in the right direction with the best of my ability. With some coffee and concentration I was able to work my way through it. Writing an introduction was a usual procedure in high school however having such a “short” notice to write a paper was a completely different from what I was used to. Usually a paper of this magnitude was considered as a final exam grade. In high school, a paper of this size had a time period of a month (which is completely ridiculous in my opinion). Using a source also wasn’t familiar to me, when writing about a topic that was not an actual “research” paper.  Only when writing about history or a book was when I was asked to have a citation. Writing this paper laid out a foundation for me to write my future papers. I can now produce what is expected after the first paper. Once I receive my grade, I think I will have an even better understanding. As for the next papers I write, I will incorporate all of the knowledge I have learned in the first and reproduce it again.
