Next to the title, the hardest thing for me when writing essays—or anything—is the conclusion sentence. It takes forever to think of a good one, so I'm always just sitting there, looking around for some inspiration until about 5 minutes later when I come up with something that makes me proud.

Conclusions have to be good because it's what your audience will remember. It needs to be declarative, but leave your reader w/that face talmbout "damn, that was good."

And I usually reread my last sentences saying exactly that.
