Studious Studenting: Lesser-known MLA rules

The MLA essay format is a mighty beast that must be slain by college freshmen in order for them to advance to Com-102. However, the ins and outs of such a format are forgotten from research paper to research paper, causing writers to flip through guidebooks and various Google searches for valuable citation information. While any book on the subject will feature the same general information, there are some topics that some citation guides just do not cover. This is why The Survival Guide is your one-stop place for obscure citation needs.

A billboard advertisement: Company name, date scene on billboard, coordinates of billboard.

A video game: Publisher, developer, name of game, year difficulty it was played on, the one part you thought was most aggravating.

An anime: Director, title, year, amount of robots X by tentacles

Things said by a friend who talking to you in secrecy: Person, date of conversation, how juicy the secret was, the actual secret, everyone you told it to.

Furniture: Make, model number, level of comfort, approx. amount of times sex was had on it.

Something you said before but can't remember exactly: Where you were, who you were with, what they thought of it, an explanation of us having to be there in order to get it.

A really good meal you once had: The Chef, restaurant, various digestion symptoms exhibited, a brief summation of its taste, but has to involve the word "Talon"
