Writing papers in college

I totally understand teachers in Junior High and High School requiring a specific length for writing assignments. We were bratty teenagers who just wanted to be lazy and we didn't think we could even write 2 pages. We needed the length requirement to teach us how to write. Once we reach University level we should already be capable of expressing ourselves without someone forcing us to come up with content to fill space. If you ever, in your career-life, are given a writing assignment, I highly doubt your superior will tell you that you must fill three pages and each paragraph must be at least a half page in length. No, that's ridiculous. He will ask you to address all aspects of the topic maybe even as concisely as possible. (Which we all know I'm awful at). Sure, some of your paragraphs may be a half of a page or longer, but what of that one that's just a quarter page? Requiring that it be a half page almost ensures you will get a quarter page of redundant crap...

This is one of the lovely sneak peeks she put up of our engagements. Michael and I are super cute, huh? So there’s this girl in my Greek and Roman mythology class who has long blonde hair, kind of. Right down the middle of her head she has a line. The left side is completely blonde, and the right is super light brown. Crazy, huh? Not only that, but her eyebrows are the same way! Her left eyebrow is so blonde you can barely see it, and her right eyebrow is the same light brown. I don’t know how those things even happen. I read a story online once about a 100% African American couple giving birth to a very white and blonde baby. The baby wasn’t albino, and it was proven to belong ...
