Re: Is this a horrible sentence?

I like it, but only because I have a bad habit of making up words myself. (Extinctifying is a god eample from one of my stories.) Really, it depends on its contest. The new verb "scholarshipped" is a great idea, but seems to cnvey a negative connotation, almost as if the person is cheating, or taking a shortcut. Also, made up words should be saved for humorous, or at least non-serious writing, and keep you're audience in mind! I really find this funny because I'm geting ready to start my freshman year in college, and the whole fundrasing experience is still fresh in my mind.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
