The joys of student writing.

Grading papers. Haven’t done that in a little while, so I’m enjoying the delicious turns of phrase. Indulge me while I list some of my favorites from this batch. All names have been removed to protect the eloquent.

For example, I am in college now experimenting and choosing classes [psychology] that interest me, but might drastically change my mentality and become a sheep herder.

Although I feel I know the responsibilities and gender roles a woman should have in society, I think I could question it and develop it further by going on a couple of dates.

[My family's values included:] (1) …a career in law or engineering, (2) …emphasis on thanking God for all good things that happen in our lives, and (3) my father’s belief that a male should have many sexual partners before finally settling down.

One way I could refine my achieved identity would be to engage in a little more risk-taking behavior, including maybe some alcohol consumption or minor use of marijuana (Text, p. 355, 380).

“[I changed my major from CS to pre-law]. That is literally going from part of the university to the other side of campus.”

Those are literally awesome.
