Expression Through Blogs (PB)

Wow.  It's our last blog.  I honestly never thought I would see this light and the end of a long, dark tunnel. (Just kidding, blogging is not that bad)  I have to admit that when we were first assigned this blog thing, I was dreading it.  We all had to write these blogs about things that we weren't extremely interested in, and I just wasn't looking forward to it.

When I first started trying to pick a topic for my first blog, I realized that I had never done anything like this before.  I had never really kept a journal, maybe a diary when I was like five, but that doesn't really count.  I had no idea what to write about or how to really create my own style of writing.  But as I began writing more blogs, I began to discover my own style.  It was kind of fun to watch the topics and style of my blogs progress throughout the school year.  Of course, there were some rough blogs along the way.  Sometimes I had no idea what to write about.  Like, for instance, I was going through some major writer's block when I wrote that blog about my dog's birthday. 

Through these blogs, I have been able to express my opinion on different topics.  The blogs have made it easier to express myself.  I just, sort of, start typing.  Sometimes I found myself talking about Christmas, sometimes selfies.  It just depended on what kind of mood I was in. 

Towards the middle of the year, I discovered that I enjoyed writing blogs.  (Whether or not I will continue to blog after this class is still up in the air though)  Each blog got a little easier to write.  It became less difficult to pick a topic. 

I also really enjoyed reading everyone else's blogs.  Everyone always wrote about such different things.  I was able to read people's opinions and provide my own feedback.  Some I found very funny to read, others tackled a serious issue in the world.  Everyone's blogs were unique, which made it much more enjoyable to read.

Because of this school year, I have learned that blogs really are a good things.  They promote self expression, which is almost always a positive thing.  Although at first I was negative towards the idea of blogs, I embraced them (that was cheesy, I know.)  So, I'm kind of glad that Mrs. Hallock forced us to do this, because I really ended up enjoying it.  And, if any of you choose to continue blogging, Happy Blogging!
