A lot of the stuff I have in the writing section has in fact stemmed from assignments from back in college.  In some cases it goes as far back as high school, though those cases are rare.  This section is specifically stuff I have written for classes and can be safely categorized as Non-Fiction.  All in all they are somewhat entertaining and informative so you might still enjoy them.

 Automatic Teller Machines: A study of how ATM's are a form of communication and it's effects
