#1 “My Goals”
By writing completely irrelevant
sentences and meaningless paragraphs then stringing it all together to call a
masterpiece, can also be called the art of fluff. I rummaged my way through
middle school and high school with this so called art of fluffing. Fluff
writing, in a more grammatical sense, can just be referred to as crap and
rambling and unnecessary opinions.
Moving onto high school and writing
papers every other week, I found myself falling victim to fluff. I loved fluff,
using up space on a paper became a profession. The best part was I never got
exposed for being a fluff junky. How I wrote those five page papers on
Shakespeare, Great Gatsby, and The Inferno? Fluff. Fluffing was simple and easy and genius.
By mixing fluff with opinion and
unnecessary rambling made my five page papers seem like a piece of cake. I
learned quickly. No one enjoys reading fluff. Even if it is a time saver. I was
soon exposed, by a teacher who I now look up to. He gave it to me straight.
Looks like all I was really good at back then was writing a five page paper in
less than ten minutes. Fluff is used as a filler for information you don’t
know, or in my case, I was just too lazy to actually write a paper. The
intervention for my fluff addiction continued with my English teacher. I
continue to challenge myself while writing papers to not include fluff or
unnecessary sentences that run me off topic of my paper.
Being in college I have been able to
notice my unintentional fluff. With that being said, I replace it with valuable
and meaningful and important information that gives the paper structure.
Hopefully I will be able to learn from past mistakes to write papers that are
one hundred percent fluff free.
