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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
