Who am I to judge if a woman just wants to focus on her oral skillz. :p

But it sounds like she needs the course if she can't comfortably write the essay. Some college requirements are like 'wtf, when am I ever going to use this???...' but that doesn't apply here because the answer is 'immediately.'

I don't write her essays all the time. I do it for when she gets overwhelmed.

She kept pleading for me to do it and I pretended I didn't want to do it although I didn't mind. I wanted to see what kind of grade I would get.

Have you done this before? Why would she even think this was a possibility? I mean clearly she was right (you did it), but I would have never uttered the words "please write my paper" to anyone I knew in college because they'd laugh at me. I realize it's a different situation because you are dating but still. Is this a common thing in your relationship?

I bust my balls in English and frequently get B's.

If you really wanna improve, find a writing tutor. Otherwise dont dwell. Its depressing.

What are you talking about? The OP is not dwelling. He's done with college and was writing his gf's paper for her.

No, this was the 1st time. She was very tired and it was due in the morning. She kept procrastinating and by the time we went home, she was too tired.

Grade giving is so arbitrary.

Teachers are inconsistent and BIASED to how much they like the student or not. :colbert:

You are having a ball with these look at me stories/threads.

Why can your GF not do her own work; incapable of such?

Of course they offer ESL writing classes at college level. A lot of foreigners come to America just go to to college.

Also high schooler = pedophile? I don't think you know what that word means...

Yes, high schooler = pedophile... high school age range is 12-16. I suggest you look up what the word pedophile means.

He's right, actually. "Pedophile" is defined as someone who has a sexual interest in prepubescent children.

So I guess you should have taken your own advice there.
