I need to learn how to do cursive again. Even with my name I make it almost unreadable D:

I knew how to do it great in ~2-4th grade because we had notebooks we wrote in to become better. My god, my writing was terrible. Even writing one letter 25 times back then strained my (left) wrist beyond belief. And my uncle is crazy, he actually tried to make me right handed because right handed people are apparently more successful. :/

I wanted to prove him wrong so bad, but he didn't know much English and I didn't know how to speak much Albanian. Language barriers :(

Bah, this just reminds me of the fact that we had to do so many freaking writing drills when I was in the early years of school. We were given sentences in cursive to write over and over again, I hated it. @_@
 
Oh I remember those too. Complete waste of time, and my wrists were sore afterward:/
 
Aww, cursive is sooo much faster than print. D:

But my cursive is so messy that I can't often read it. So I have pseudo-cursive writing in that I print but all my letters run into each other anyway so it may as well be cursive. XD; Not that I can even print anymore. I do so little writing that my hand cramps up within like 10 minutes of taking actual notes on paper or something. :(
 
I was supposed to do those, but I never actually did it. Come the end of the year and I had to catch up to everyone else. They were already finished with letters and numbers and I was on about E and didn't do any numbers. I don't think my wrist ever hurt more in my life.

Sadly I didn't change much over the years, but there's always time to change myself :D
 
Same for me. XD; Getting into the habit of writing notes again during school this last year was...difficult.

Cursive just sucks! I remember reading documents that teachers and other people would write in and I could never make out their stuff. It's one of those writing system that I think has to be pretty precise to actually make out, but the majority of people I have run across just...scribble the stuff out and make it next to impossible to read. >_O
 
I never took notes because I remembered most stuff after being told about them twice or three times, but I'll try to start this year. I'm taking Chemistry as a Sophomore, and I can only imagine how much of a pain it will be, or so I've been told.

I prefer typing and printing paper over anything. It's universal, there aren't any scratch-outs or erasure marks, and many people are better at it. As an example, I took a test to find my wpm on this and I got a speed of 68 WPM with no errors. I can do much better with my eyes closed for some reason.https://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php
 
My last class, the (idiot) professor basically regurgitated the textbook on the board, so I didn't bother taking notes. Not that I could comprehend his chicken scratch anyway (really, DON'T use cursive when writing math equations!)
 
My handwriting is so messy everyone complains about it. I have to say that I think it's getting *slightly* better. When a professor, whose handwriting I thought was awful, complained about my exams, I decided I would have to try a bit harder. XD I am jealous of people with nice writing.
 
Saaaaame. Though. It does make me happy that a lot of my classes this semester are going to be online again and my only in person class is for film, soooo I don't have to do much writing either way. XD;
 
My handwriting is a disaster, yet somehow people are still able to read it. It totally baffles my mind. It helps that I will usually write in all caps when I know something needs to be able to be read in the future, and I'm not just jotting it down to help commit something to memory, though.

Also, I got a WPM of 59 with two errors that I hadn't gone back and corrected before finishing the word, and that's on a keyboard where the keys stick horribly.

My signature used to be completely legible. However, the more things I sign, the sloppier it becomes because I like to get it done and get out of there as quickly as possible. The last half of my last name is starting to turn into a squiggly line that barely resembles any letter whatsoever. XD;

Same here xD
But, most people don't believe that my name is my real name XD
 
I used to write everything in cursive, but after I graduated from high school, I reverted back to writing in print for some reason. Even though the only times I write in cursive now are whenever I sign my signature, it's still legible.
 
I hate writing in cursive is stupied. I print most of the time.
 
Yeah so do I. I always forget some of my letters.
