Deadlines pile up in college, we know, we have suffered through it. It is commonly known in more than one country that an essay writing service is an option. Considering a well-written essay can often make the difference between getting an A or an F, you have probably considered hiring a service that can write your essay, and that will probably do it better than you. The thing here is, just sending the service money and delivering the papers they write for you is making very little for your writing abilities, and whether you like it or not, you need good writing abilities to get yourself through life.

Picture future you, job interview, and you get a writing abilities test. College is the time where you usually perfect all your writing skills and become and adult who is able to redact properly. If you never go through that in college it is very hard you will do it in your adult life.

Don’t get us wrong, we think writing services are great. However, you need to be wise when using them to actually get better on your skills. So, here are a couple of ways in which you can get better at your writing skills, while using a service to write your essay.

Use it few, and smart

Time truly is money, and you will notice that when you hire a writing service, since (oh, shocker!) they’ll charge you according to the time you give them to finish your essay, and might even throw some extra fees for doing it faster. So, try to reduce your use of writing services as much as possible, you’ll save some money and improve your writing and time management skills. The thing is, if you use a service every time you have to deliver a paper, you won’t be worried about organizing yourself. Sadly, getting your time managed is not an option when it comes to the real life. So, do use writing services, but only for that class that is not going to be useful at all, or for the one assignment you really have no way of getting into your schedule.

Send it in for editing only

Ok, so we know this is really not solving you any problems at first sight, but it really is. First, when it comes to a very important assignment you are going to want it to be perfect. When writing it yourself you will probably proofread it a million times, and edit it, and re-read it, and re-edit it. This does take a lot of time off from you. Sending your paper to a professional writing service to be checked, will ensure your paper is perfect and it will also teach you a lot about specific ways in which you can improve your particular writing skills. What were the common mistakes, what should you pay more attention to, etc. You can really learn a lot from having your paper professionally edited.

Don’t just turn it in

Just don’t. When you ask a writing service to write you an essay something you should never (and I mean never) do is just hand it in as it is. First of all, proofread it, make sure it is focused and related to what you wanted. Then run it through a plagiarism checker, this will almost never happen, but in rare cases it will have plagiarism, better to be safe than to fail a class because the paper was plagiarized. Then, once you have checked it thoroughly, if you have time rewrite the essay to give it your own voice and style, this are things the teachers notice, especially if you have handed in your own papers in the past. If you do this you’ll be able to learn by example and study the way in which a good essay is organized.

International students: notice the differences

International students are probably very likely to use these because, even if you are Hemingway in your own language, you probably won’t have as much writing skills in English. When sending an important essay to a writing service make sure you pick up on things that are different from how you would have written it. Maybe even when you have time write it yourself and see the differences.
