Creative or Rhetorical Writing is a way of storytelling, but not just fictional stories: any story. Reporting stories or the telling of history is how humans communicate with one another, whether it is giving someone a lesson or just for entertainment shouldn't matter. The Puritans in Massachusetts believed that it was important to write and tell stories of how one should better themselves or avoid corruption: their stories were lessons. Then you should think of the Bible, how there are so many stories, each for multiple interpretations and more than one lesson.

Creative writing shouldn't be seen as an art of fiction, or something only for writers to learn and perfect. When a person can write well, a person can at least communicate their ideas through their written works. Not everyone can speak well, but everyone can learn to write well. Each person has a million ideas that can shared with the world, many ideas are not shared or are forgotten because they cannot be written down.

Language is our most powerful tool and weapon, without language and differences in language make up the human world and race. Instead of being afraid of the differences in language, many should celebrate the differences in language, and let them be a reminder of our need for knowledge and to learn more.

As humans we constantly are trying to build up what we believe in, and destroy what we fear. This has been the way of each and every society since the beginning of time, this is usually because everyone wants to be remembered more than the last person. At one point in every person's they have the desire to live forever, even when they think/know it isn't possible.

But just as Shakespeare said in Sonnet 18 "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this and this gives life to thee." This quote is the secret to living forever or to being remembered forever. Art or writing is the only way a person can go on living even after their bodies can carry them no further. Instead of having the feeling of dread while writing a paper or something similar, a person should think about the practice they are getting. Anyone can get published or be remembered through their writing, but they need to actually write it down.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
