📝Writing Contest!!
Starts
This is going to be a super fun creative writing contest! Everyone will be able to vote on their favorite prompt that you will be writing with.
We have decided on three prompts to vote on:
Prompt #1: At midnight, a hidden library appears in an abandoned subway station. Its shelves hold books that reveal alternate lives and untold stories. Describe a character who stumbles upon this magical place and the life-changing decisions they face.
Prompt #2: A monster is terrified by the scary child who lives above his bed.
Prompt #3: The main protagonist is teleported into a different time. (past) Describe the different types of people and things they encounter.
This is mostly just for fun but the main judging criteria will be story, (does the story match the prompt and is it engaging) grammar and sentence structure, (not to sound like a SAT section, but the grammar needs to be accurate) and finally, originality (you can't use chatGTP for this, I hate that that is something I need to add, but you should add your own creative voice in your writing.
The time allowed to complete your writing will be three months, so you should have plenty of time to finish and refine your writing.
The winner of the contest will get a shoutout in the R&W Subworld and have their story posted in our shoutout! Second and third place winners will also get shoutouts!
The most important rule is to just have fun! This isn't a professional contest so don't stress out about making your writing "perfect". There are no perfect papers, remember that.
We will have all rules and criteria finalized by the kickoff to the contest.

Study Group
2nd session
Welcome to our online study series, where we come together to immerse ourselves in the pursuit of knowledge and growth. In this virtual space, we aim to cultivate a sense of professionalism, commitment, and dedication to our studies.
As we embark on this journey of intellectual exploration, let us approach our studies with a sense of curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage deeply with the material. Let us challenge ourselves to push beyond our comfort zones and to strive for excellence in all that we do.
But beyond our academic pursuits, let us also recognize the emotional aspect of learning - the moments of frustration, exhilaration, and connection that come with the deepening of our understanding. Let us support and encourage each other as we navigate the highs and lows of our educational journey.
In this online study session, let us embrace both the professional and the personal aspects of our learning experience, and let us commit ourselves wholeheartedly to the pursuit of knowledge, growth, and self-improvement. Together, we can achieve great things. Let us begin.
