Thesaurus

I desperately need to expand my vocabulary. I find myself so often using the same trite expressions over and over again. In my senior year, I started all of the conclusions of my papers with "all in all, blah blah". Sadly, I think my attempts to become less cliche are making me significantly more cliche. Clicheness(I'm aware that this is not a word) is like radiation. It only takes a little bit to make you sick, or in this case affect the way you make sentences. Sadly, I've been heavily radiated. I quite possibly could be The Cliche Hulk. Are cliches a necessary evil(see, there it is again!)? No, I don't think so. I think that when our brains(yes, OUR brains) turn off is when we revert to these devilish expressions, which is why we so often find our papers and conversations filled with these phrases. I, for one, am taking a stand to keep my brain with the "on" flip switched in the right direction as much as possible. Hopefully this will help me improve, and hopefully I don't have this whole thing backwards.
