She's so big hearted
but not so remarkable
just an ordinary humble girl
expecting nothing as we may
to think it's a pretty person's worth
you are beautiful
and you'd better go show it
so go and look again
you gotta be true only if you really wanna go to the top and you really wanna win
don't believe in living normal
just to satisfy demand
Well, if you wanna get free
and if wanna get smart by the sake of your heart
you should own your lame and stand up tall

Courier new font. Basically, in Courier new, an "i" takes up the same amount of space as a "w".

Re: Help
If you have to double space it then don't make it 2.0 like you're supposed to. Do 2.3 or so. You can't really tell, but after a certain amount of lines, it makes a good difference. Or even if you don't have to double space it, still do it. And put a few extra spaces between your name and title and also between your title and the beginning of the essay. It's all about the subtle spaces. And, like everyone else said, use a different font.
I am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life,
and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow
I am waiting for sleep
to offer up the deed
with both hands

Ah, the joys of tricking the teacher. Haha... I'll have to keep these in mind for when I actually have to start writing essays. Good luck Kimmy with your essay! Sorry to hear about your math!

Well my essays are always too long because i am one that rambles and puts too much info in it and empasizes too much and use parralism...haha...
Hmm...
i would say bs your way through it...
But if oyu don't want to do that you can always slighly increase the space to like 1.2 so its not totally obvious its dbled space but its larger

I have to disagree there. I can very easily tell personally if something is more than double spaced, and it will be very apparent to a teacher.

Hahah.
The teacher will KNOW if you use margins and shit like that.
I suggest you start throwing in random facts. For example, I wrote an essay yesterday and I was like, "Before Julius Caesar seized the throne in 27 BC" where I could have just written "Before Julius Casar seized the throne..."
Cheers,
Jenna

Re: Help
Man, I'd love to make it longer. The teacher told us to write a shot story, at least 2 pages, double spaces, and mine was twelve. Now when I have to limit my word usage, then I have a problem becasue I get way too descriptive. I mean, just look at how I'm writing now!! Oh well.
