This is an example of excellent student writing.

Sometimes a sentence leads you to a dead end. You are confused, and that's ok. This time you can blame the sentence.

I've had a few students ask me about semicolons in the past week. I am sure they are not alone in wondering how to use them, and why we use them the way we do.

My Beard Died. This is his story.

You are your own worst critic.

Adults have a tendency to marginalize the difficulties of childhood. That is, to suggest that the challenges faced in high school (and before) are insignificant compared with the challenges of adult life. I've done it. My friends have done it. My parents have done it (and probably yours too). 

Games are repetitive, and I believe this is an excellent opportunity for storytelling.

With just a bit of a tonal change, things get weird.
