Talkin' Smack-a-demic


How confident are you in your writing skills? Are you the I-Carry-a-Moleskin-Journal-and-Live-for-Public-Grammar-Errors type or the I-Prefer-to-Express-Myself-By-Checking-Yes-or-No type? Turns out, writing is kinda important in college. (Shocker, right?) From testing and essays to simple e-mail exchanges with administrators—also known as the folks who decide whether or not you get accepted—good writing skills are essential. This month, PUNCH explores some important areas to focus on when firing up that No. 2 pencil.
