Looking for some literary inspiration? Or maybe you are just really bored? Go ahead and browse through some of my works. Most of them were written for school though so they are not by any means all my best but I figured since I put so much work into all of them...I also don't see myself as primarily a writer, but I do enjoy writing and I have been told I am good at it. So here goes:

Research


The Messy Room WarsThis is my first real college essay. I am particualarly proud of it because I got an A! For all of those gung-ho messy people out there and their parents, I hope you enjoy.
Collecting Craze Insightful essay written for a high school composition class. Ever wondered what motivates some people to go to extremes for that rare collectible item? This should provide some explanations.
Barbie: 40 Years and Still a Doll Since I had to write a history paper for english class, I figured I might as well write it on something of interest to me! Learn all about Barbie's humble beginnings!
Turquoise in Jewelry A research paper I wrote for a high school art class on turquoise.
Chinese Ceramics Another research paper I wrote for art class on ancient chinese ceramics.

Prose


A Newborn's First Day Another paper about that indelible doll - but this one is all in fun. Well it was actually for my creative writing class. Funny how you can come up with some really weird ideas when forced to write something...
The Cat's MeowA weird little story I wrote about a cat for my creative writing class. Hold onto your hats - this one is really strange.
