Readable not only for me, for most of the people and even years later.
another thing is when I was in college... My notes were only useful for me because it was like tachigraphy with symbols, abreviations, etc...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I use mainly print (the lower case version, which is almost unused in Italy) but for some letters I use the cursive form (like the "l", it is much more recognizable and faster to write).
When I was forced to use cursive or all CAPS PRINT I was told by anyone I had a terrible writing, when I discovered my own preferred form almost noone has problems with it.

"Engineers who should have been doctors"
Our handwriting is so bad, we are eligible to be doctor
My mom wanted me to be doctor, she hated engineers. It have impacted me oddly, my handwriting got awked up but I became an "Engineer"(in double quotes of course)

At least, nothing longer than a single sentence. It is almost physically impossible for me now - my wrist starts aching unbearably after a very short while and I have to stop.
Mind you, when younger people would always complain about my handwriting, saying it was illegible. I couldn't see why - it seemed perfectly OK to me... then when I went to university my math tutor said he too had no problem with it, and after that I stopped worrying about it. I decided that handwriting legibility, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder!

Having a good handwriting is stressed upon in elementary school in most parts of India(or it was when was a kid).
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

In Bangladesh, one will get more score just by memorizing an essay and writing it byte by byte than the one who used creativity in ones answers and didn't give a sh*t about handwriting.
I spend my entire primary and high school being tortured by my parents and teacher for having bad writing, they focused on it so much, they have never noticed that I have no creativity.

It resemble chicken scratch, most of the time it is readable myself. Sometimes, is it "make" or "snake"?

I gave up cursive handwriting early in college, 39 years ago. The only cursive I can write now is my signature, and even that isn't in "correct" cursive form.
My printing is quite legible and unlike most of the posts in this survey, I can understand it later. This is mostly due to the notion of consider the audience, one of the most important principles in writing, and for that matter, software development. In this case the notes for myself are for a middle-aged, over-stressed, migraine-ridden guy who'd rather be home playing with his dogs.

Completely off topic, but you mentioned migraines. I have suffered with debilitating migraines for years until recently my wife left me without adult supervision and I got a Daith ear piercing.
It has been about 4 weeks and it has worked wonders. I don't blame you if you don't believe it. I had to hear several people tell me before I tried it.
My migraines were so bad I don't know how I managed to stay employed.

I gave up cursive in 7th grade when I was told I could either use print or cursive in school  . I was told my cursive was legible but only with a magnifying class, I do believe that the teacher was being a little facetious but her point was well-made. Of course as a result I have a heck of a time reading cursive .
Like you the only thing I write (in cursive) is my signature and that is a completely unreadable squiggle but unlike say a doctor it is tiny and not "flowery".
My print is OK. I can read it most of the time and others often can as well. Writing is generally for myself not others so I am my audience . If my audience is other people I generally type.
Sorry to hear about the migraines though ... my wife gets them too. Nasty things depending on the type of migraine (my wife has cycled through a bunch of different types over the years ... the ones where even a bed sheet causes physical pain on her skin, the ones where her vision grays out, the ones where it feels as if someone has stabbed her eyes from behind with an ice pick, and oh yeah even the ones that have head-aches ).

Wow! I'm much older now than I was in 7th grade and still can't give up cursing.

Same. In fact, I've become more skilled at it as time has gone on - I can string 'em together like no-ones business now.
After a momentary lapse some time back I dropped one in front of the MIL. Why don't you go make babies with yourself? - "oh, how sweet" was the look on her face until it turned to shock as she realised what I was actually saying.

Once I wrote some information in a in a piece of paper in cursive and gave it to some Japanese. He asked me what language have I used. I said English, he didn't believe me. He asked the manager why I am treating him like this. I had to write that again in printing form. Not joking

I can understand that. It's somewhat analogous to the difference between hiragana, katakana, and kanji for the Japanese: a different way of writing the same verbal expression.

Here in Norway even doctor's prescriptions are legible
- because they are not hand written any more. They never exist on paper, but go directly, electronically, from the doctor's office to a central registry. Any farmacy in the country can look up your prescriptions in the registry; all you need is a valid ID, and they fetch all the details on-line. You can also look up the registry entries applying to you (and minor children of yours) from your home computer.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about this information being available to so many. But farmacies require a lisence and specially trained personell; they should be able to give you supplementary information about the use of the medicines, suggest cheaper copy medicines etc - they are not general stores where you also can buy pencils and notepads and candy, the way it is in some other countries.
One definite advantage is that you can get your medicine anywhere in the country when travelling, without having to bring paper presciptions from home. Besides, I think it is good that you cannot go to ten doctors to get ten prescriptions for some semi-narcotic medicine; that would be noticed immediately.
And, back to the original comment: There is no longer a risk of the farmacy staff misreading the doctor's handwriting.

Here in india, its difficult to understand the handwriting of doctor. I have asked one staff in Drug store, they told its (read doctors handwriting) part of their pharmacy education it seems.
