Today, after finishing a three-page essay for my spanish class, I went to rip up my brainstorming paper in an act of triumph. After I finished ripping it up, I looked on my desk to see my brainstorming paper fully intact, and my essay torn into bits. FML

Fake, 3 page essay vs a brainstorming paper by the non plural one page, there is no way you would be able to not notice you have three pages instead of one.

I have to agree there. No way you could be that plain stupid and not realise.

Dude, it's just three pages. Nothing to be so triumphant about. A three page essay takes most people who have already started high school twenty minutes on average.

If they want to get an F, then yes. It takes most people several days, moron.

Also, no one said OP started high school. You can tell from most of the stories on the moderating page that there are a lot of 13 year olds on here...

Huh? It's a Spanish paper. It's just not about the content, but the language used to write it. Twenty minutes, eh? That sounds like a poorly done, crappy essay. Most 2-3 page essays I do take me about 40 minutes, if not more. I would freak out as well if this had happened to me with a French essay about whatever.

this is fake... OP ripped up the paper, not shredded so he could have easily re-read and re-wrote. if not why not use print again? cause almost every paper these days for almost any class you're required to have it in ink

You are definitely ******* stupid. What, freshman year of high school? 8th grade middle schooler? Three pages is NOTHING to write. Hell, we did 5-page essays in 30 minutes once a week for AP 11th grade English for fun, no feeling of triumphalism there. Seriously, there are three reasons I personally think you need to visit that My Life is Average site: 1. You feel accomplished after writing three pages. Oh wow, that's only 1/3 of my typical weekly Anatomy lab report! 2. You mistook the actual essay for the brainstorming paper. Isn't that the one with the 'spiders' legs' and webs with big circles rotating around the main idea? If you got THOSE mixed up, then you don't deserve to pass. Finally, 3. You didn't notice the ripped up paper was your essay until you finished, nor did you save your work on a computer or external drive. I don't know or care if it was handwritten, but every paper I've written since 5th grade, according to the Georgia curriculum according to what I was told, was to be typed, preferably 12-font and single or double-spaced as the teachers saw fit.

He DID say he ripped it to bits, don't know, not totally sure, but either way, it was a stupid move since many teachers like their students to turn in the brainstorming, rough draft, and final copy.

wow you are a jerk. you sound like one of those people who think they are better than everybody else because they happen to be in advanced classes. maybe this person had to actually write their paper in spanish. it was, afterall, a spanish class and writing anything in another language is difficult. i'm not saying this person was smart about it but you don't have to rip all over them like that.

Aw, don't you feel so special for announcing your past work for all to see? Just calm down, there is no need to be so condescending. I completely agree with simply_smile. If the OP did have to write the essay in Spanish, 3 pages can definitely be challenging.

What the hell are "spider legs" and "webs with big circles?" Those things we used to use when we were little kids and couldn't write a paper? Nobody has used those in years if you are a college student. I'm an English major and haven't used those techniques in probably 10 years. Get off your high horse Mr. "We did 5 page essays for fun." It was in a different language, so three pages would be difficult to do.
