How can I improve my handwriting?

shinysquirrel@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 50 points –

I'm going to university this September. Nearly everybody says "In university they don't try to understand what you've written it is unintelligible." My handwriting is incredibly ugly. I want to improve it by the time I go to uni.

In elementary school they only taught me cursive handwriting. And I never bothered to learn print handwriting. I can write like that but I'm really slow at it.

How can I improve my handwriting? Which exercises I should do?

Thanks in advance!

Buy a fountain pen. They require you to write shower and be more careful.

Second, why write in print when you already write cursive??? It's much more practical. Just try to focus on writing clear readable cursive instead.

I also switched from cursive to print for legibility.

I always found cursive terrible to read. Letters are more likely to look the same and it's harder to tell where one letter stops and the next starts. I also read print all day, so I'm just more used to reading it.

I suffered from the same thing. nobody could read my writing because of the reasons you stated

I think one of the reasons my handwriting is bad, is that letters are bunching up because they are connected in cursive.
