Oh gosh why am I saying evening and it's like day where you are ? xD . I'm in Eastern-Standard time, you?

I will, this teacher grades pretty quick so I should have it back in due time, anyways, how's your evening going?

Whoa, you really didn't need to do that, but thank you! That's actually a huge help, and I did remove a lot of commas xD It's always nice to get feedback. Now I'm writing the third paragraph where I have to mention the Pope, and I'm literally pulling random facts about him from no where xD

Well, if you really don't, this is what I have so far (note that the first paragraph is instructed to be very general and broad, and in the second, when I go off into Maria Theresa, I'm supposed to lol, and again, you really dont have to xD)

Nowadays, the changes made by governments around the world are the subject of constant debate. Whether they're helping or hurting the country may not be known until it is too late, but any leader will tell you that, at times, risks must be taken. Joseph Benedikt II made many changes and risked his likeness many times by tampering with tradition and well-known practices, in order to move his Empire further along. In modern times, he would be seen as innovative and revolutionary, but back then, his ideas were viewed as new, and not well-taken. Despite his controversial changes, it 's impossible to deny the fact that the things he did left an everlasting impact not only on his own empire, but on most of Europe as well.

Benedikt started his reign over the Roman Empire in 1765, ruling alongside his mother, Empress Maria Theresa. Being the heir to the Roman Empire, much rightfully belonged to Theresa. She had decided that she was to never lose the sovereign control of her dominions to her husband or any of her sons, and much of what she said was the final word during her co-reign with Benedikt. She many times criticized him for his actions, and often times wondered if he should indeed inherit her throne, however he did so nonetheless. Theresa was very opposed to religious tolerance and, although she never forced her Roman-Catholic beliefs on her subjects, she did indeed refer to any Jews or Protestants under her rule as dangerous to her state. Like his mother, Benedikt was also raised a Roman-Catholic. Although he co-reigned for quite some time, he never made any big impacts on his empire until after his mother's death in 1780, where he was finally free to do whatever he pleased. Benedikt was very quick to institute many of the ideas he'd been holding back while co-reigning with his mother. He was ready to steer his government onto a new and different course, and had many new ideas in store for a very old-fashioned empire. What separated him from any emperor before him, and most at that time, was his interest in the idea of enlightened absolutism. This meant that he ruled with the influences of the Enlightenment in mind, and it greatly showed through his actions. He was very favorable of religious toleration and gave many other rights to his subjects that were quite unheard of at the time. Much of what he did greatly contradicted with his mother's beliefs, the most obvious and criticized being his attempt to modernize the Catholic Church.

Ah thanks for the offer, really xD But I doubt you wanna spend your Sunday afternoon going over my history essay

Thanks, the second paragraph is about half way done, but once again I really have no idea if what I'm writing is right or even makes sense xD

No set number, but I prefer to finish with at least 5

Ahha yeah that's it ! This essay is really annoying me, I feel I'm stretching one idea throughout every paragraph, since he pretty much did one thing

-more confetti- Wooo we're not lazy xD

Yes, very true, everything's clean cut, simple, and to the point FIRST PARAGRAPH = DONE -confetti- Sorry just updating you . . . xD

No way, Google started it all, and it's the only search engine you can use as a noun and a verb !

What if there was no Google O.O Ahh that's a scary question !

That's how I feel too, my mom is the only one who takes the time to look over my stuff, but everytime she sees a word she doesn't understand she thinks it's fancy and says great job xD So yeah, I want real feedback

Ughh I hate when I finish a paragraph and I never know if it's good enough -.-

Yeah, if you ask me there's no such thing as a bad college, it just depends your interest. If a community college meets your needs better than a university, I say go for it. Anyways, random but, is "nowadays" one words ?
