Handwriting Woes

So I will admit, I just thought of making this post as I was finishing up with class, but I still feel like it's completely relevant.

Manual writing sucks. I'm not saying it's not useful, and that it isn't good for note taking and such, but my main gripe with it is very simple: I'm a leftie. No, this isn't about politics, this is about me being left handed. Politics come later. (Pro-tip: Politics probably won't actually come later.)

From the time I was a wee laddie, I drew and wrote left handed. That's just how I was born, along with a decent chunk of the world's population, and that's how I will continue to live life. Anyways, it's always been a problem writing like this. Whether its doing math or writing an essay, handwriting has never been my strong suit. My a's sometimes look like u's, my o's sometimes look like e's, Not to mention,  one of the bigger woes of being left-handed, or as I called it as a kid, "the robot hand.

Pro-Tip: Left Handed People Aren't Robots

The worst part about this is that there isn't a decent way to get it off, aside from maybe spit, or a very good soap scrubbing. Now add this to spiral notebooks, or the devil books for left handers. Just look up that one buzzfeed thing about left handed people, every one of those is true.
Here ya go

But anyways, why is this a problem? Well, another thing with this is that I don't write quite as fast. So along with an awkward writing style, if I do try to write fast, it only looks sloppier. First grade is a pain when they keep demanding you keep making different o's.

The writing I'm doing in class focuses on checking out each other's book reviews, answering a few questions while also listing some facts, like the positives and negatives of the review, what it said, and more. It just really grinds my gears when I have to write out so much. I always feel bad for the person I'm reviewing. I'm not bad, I feel, as one, but  it feels like my colleagues just beat me out in speed the vast majority of the time, with better handwriting.

Sometimes I just wish my writing was better. But I think for the most part, I'm going to stick with type writing. It's just infinitely easier for me, and it's faster and smoother to boot. The last few manual essays I've had to do just bother me. But who knows? I guess I can say I'm just not all right. (Pro tip: That was a pun.)
