Maybe Google+ is good for something after all

I've been really skeptical of Google+ throughout the entire semester. I still am. I think facebook is just so much better. If you had invented facebook, you'd have invented facebook. If you didn't invent facebook. Then you probably just invented google+.
Ha. Ha.

Turns out, it's good for something after all. I don't want to take any credit away from my professor, because her comments are no doubt, at the end of the day, what turn my papers into presentable pieces of work. But I would definitely say that before that, what really helps me get past the initial wanting to just drown instead of going back of one of my shitty first drafts, is the feedback I get from my peers online. They tell me the simple things I want to hear. The things I want to hear are something like, "I might change this around a little bit," but they're usually mixed in with a little bit of, "Dude me too!" or "I totally get that" and shit like that. I don't know, it's nice to hear.

Once I get past these little things, along with everybody's comments constantly reminding me that I should probably use cited sources in a research essay, then I can move on to my Professor's comments. And at that point, they just seem a little more manageable, which is nice. I should probably get to doing that now...
