    Sometimes I feel like the only people to become article writers like this are the morons in third grade that take the teachers suggestion to always use flowery words over simple ones way too seriously. Every single article now is a 30 min read about the writers breakfast in front of them and the smell of the air before they start talking about how they are opening a new Wendy's on 24th st. next week.

        I learned essay writing through a film analysis elective and it blew my mind. I'd been taking English writing classes since as far back as I could remember and it was a blowoff class that actually taught me how to write.
