Many times the secret to better grades is knowing when to ask for help. The Writing Center has found that most students become frustrated with writing assignments for many of the same reasons.
- "I can't get started."
- "I don't know what to write about."
- "My grammar is incorrect."
- "My content is filler."
- "I don't know how to use citations."

These are a few of the many good reasons to visit the Writing Center and get past writing anxiety by receiving a fresh perspective from writing professionals, faculty members and peers.
