Apparently it's already December 2012. It feels like I was just getting off the plane from Aikens Lake and yet semester one is almost over, my fantasy football team failed to make the playoffs, the hockey team I coach and the other I play on are both struggling mightily, the world is about to end, the Bombers missed the playoffs and the Grey Cup was anti-climactic, the NHL still hasn't figure their shit out, Barrack Obama won a second term, and the US Northeast is still recovering from a wild hurricane. That and about a million other things.
Maybe it's because I'm in CreCom and I'm exposing myself to all kinds of different media, but it feels like SO much has happened in the last few months. More than usual. Either way, here's what I've learned at RRC this fall:
- Avoid Cliches; they are the oldest trick in the book.
- Don't write over-the-top, flowery sentences that are bursting with so much happiness and joy, they make the people of the world rejoice in the streets.
- If you can, try to write short, clear, to-the-point sentences that don't drag on, leaving the reader confused and lost because you've written so much in your sentence that the meaning is lost, misconstrued, or otherwise just downright confusing.
- If you think your design is good, think again. It's actually very bad and you should redo it altogether.
- Be confident, punctual, and thorough in your work.
- Don't wear red on camera when there's a red background behind you.
- Focus on the little things like punctuation. speling and grammar?
- Don't make any enemies. (Pretty tough with a group like Section 2!)
- And finally, unrelated to school - don't go all-in on a bluff. It rarely works out and it has burned me so many times it hurts.
