Uberessay.com – Not your average essay website.
by Roz in Academics, Readings, Site Updates
I’d like to take a moment to put a spotlight on a project that Hannah and I have been working on over this past month: Uberessay.com. Uberessay.com is a student resource and writing community that was founded by Hannah and I on the basis of promoting students to share their well-written papers and essays, as well as becoming a resource that students can refer to when writing their own papers for quality, insightful papers.
Although I’m no English and/or writing-based major at my school, I’ve always been sort of in love with writing… Okay, so I may sound quite nerdy, but it’s the truth. Somehow, when I’m writing an essay or paper, I will always find a way to be inspired or be somewhat excited about what I’m writing: in doing so, I allow myself to become fully enwrapped by whichever topic or subject I’m writing about, and thus actually learn something from writing. I may not have the best writing skills, and maybe I do kind of suck at citing correctly and using MLA-format the right way, but at least I still enjoy writing!
And that’s really just the point of Uberessay.com. Personally, when Hannah approached me with the idea, I definitely and instantly agreed to help co-found it, because it’s something that I hope everyone who wants to be apart of can become a member of. My hopes for Uberessay are to foster a community that promotes discussion and fosters learning for all contributors and readers, as well as to develop a reliable and decent resource that we can all (in the future, hopefully) refer to when writing our own papers.
So, if you’ve written a great essay this past year – and anytime in your college career – please consider submitting it! And, if you have any feedback, please let me know. I would love to hear it!

I decided that california-cutie.com is a bit out-dated; I’ve had it since I was 13 years old. The only reason I kept it around and kept renewing each year was out of nostalgia and loyalty, but I decided that I did grow out of it, and it was time for something new. So, voila! Pointlessly.org. I think I like it.
I’ve also added “The Girl” section, a whole section with me trying to explain who I am and what I stand for.
Also, I’d like to make a shameless plug to my newly revamped project, now named “Conscientious – Site With a Conscience” instead of “Make a Difference.” Take a look!
