Joie de vivre

I think it's practicing writing in various styles. Which isn't that scary--except that I've never had to worry much about getting the form right (such as absolute-properly-correct footnoting, bibliography, etc.), and have concentrated almost entirely on the actual writing. The writing I know I can do: the rest I'll not so sure! Guess I'll learn. Still, if anyone could point me to some good websites explaning how to write college papers, that would be terrific. =D
