I write whatever i am required to write about 90% of the time. The other ten percent is my personal thoughts, what i think, feel, want, or need at the given time. How i write is pretty common for the average college student i think. I usually just free write using all the information i have and then later on go back and edit what isn't needed. The reason why i write is to put down my thoughts onto paper or to record something down. Sometimes i just want to write for mere entertainment.
