11. Text Messages

The messages on my phone are ordered oldest to newest, with a tab that filters out any unknown/spam numbers. I don't have any messages that delete after a certain time period since I view that all conversations are important and so if there is information I need I can easily search for it. All of my contacts are named with first and last name, save for the most important people I constantly talk to such as my Mom, best friend, and boyfriend. I mostly sends songs and pictures to whomever I'm texting as well as general texting.

    My text messages are the same way. I especially love the unknown/spam numbers feature, as I despise spam messages. Unfortunately, thanks to this feature, I have also missed some important messages because they came from unknown number. Great post!

5. Authority

Finding good and quality information to support what your writing can be hard if you don't know what you're looking for, especially when you are trying to add value as well. But, I have a plan to add both of these things to my essay on why History Education is a valuable degree to earn.  I plan on adding authority by using sources from educational sites. My sources are hand picked from various schools and programs that talk about the importance of history education. These add authority because they are from schools that offer this degree and the offer what comes next after. Using schools that offer this degree allow for a personal opinion from a professor who has their own experience. This also adds value. The sources are giving a personal opinion from someone who has experience in the degree instead of an outside perspective. This inside job is a first-hand look into what a history education degree can do for your life and career. I am going to educational sources in order to ...

9. MLA Formatting

MLA is the traditional form of formatting used in professional papers. Do I like it, not really. Will I do it, most likely. My problem with this formatting is that the structure is confusing. Citing a source that is not only indented but always placed in a certain order is taxing. It takes away time and you get points knocked off if you didn't do the slightest thing correctly. When first learning MLA as a middle schooler, I was never taught to indent or do anything specific, just make sure all the information was there. As a high schooler I was taught just to have page references in the initial citation. I was taught to write fast and to the point, not formal and constructed. The most confusing thing, and hardest is making sure everything is in perfect order and construct.

4. Types of Writing and How They Help

There are many forms of writing that people use daily such as texting, e-mailing, and writing. These are tools that help us learn the always developing language of the world. I personally use writing to communicate with my friends and further my ability to learn. I use note-taking daily at school. I have had to adapt from copying the notes as they are strictly written to paraphrasing the information. This has allowed me to better understand and memorize information for a test or exam. Note-taking also allows for an easy system of finding information for the required subject. I personally color-code my notes so that the section that I am trying to study for is easily found within my notes. This helps me focus on a certain section instead of searching through my notes to find a single source of information. Texting is used by almost every person that owns a phone. During the 4 months of quarantine that I experienced, texting became the main way I communicated with my friends. This helped...
