Picking a Topic: Your Favorites Aren’t Always Best

Sometimes an assignment will enable you to pick your own topic. It can be enticing to choose a favorite television show or musician, something you already know a lot and think about often. This can be a good idea, but you might want to reconsider. It can be difficult to write critically about something you love. Even though it is easy to say a great deal about what we love, but it can be much harder to engage those ideas academically, to say negative things, or to accept the criticism that will come from peer reviewers or graders.

If you consider these points and decide that you can handle those downsides well, and then go for it! If not, do not lose heart just yet. Whatever you like, there are a host of things related to it that you can consider and where your interest and knowledge might help. Say you enjoy Doctor Who and the eleventh Doctor, played by Matt Smith, is your favorite. Rather than discussing your favorite episode, you might choose to watch an episode or two of classic Who, with William Hartnell or Tom Baker, and describe how elements of the eleventh Doctor’s personality reflect those of the first or fourth.

If all of this is overwhelming to you, do not worry. Professional writers like ours have these skills in spades and can come up with topics in no time. When you place your order, you may want to begin by having the writer create a two or three page foundation paper, upon which you can expand with your own writing and ideas. There are many ways that professional writers and researchers can help you get from being trapped in front of the TV with your laptop to having a successful, appropriate college paper that meets your needs.
