I'm 95% sure my college would have just handed me a degree after the first quarter if they'd let me type my essays instead of writing them by hand.

As a college student who writes digital essays but was not handed a degree my first semester, I’m curious what you mean?

I mean that when I went to college 15 years ago, they made you hand write your essays; I have bad hand writing + I am a lazy writer + I'm in school for computers == poor marks.

If I'd typed by essays, they would have been such academic works as to immediately grant me the degree. (Hyperbole for humor)
