So, okay....

Since winter term of our school year, our language arts teacher, has required his perspectives and AP Lang classes to write blogs. Our requirement was to do 750 words a week, 3 blogs, about 250 words in each blog. It wasn't a bad assignment.

When we first started I absolutely hated it. Like not oh I hate it I don't want to do it, but hate it as in I would rather run into a tree and knock myself out. I have never been the kind of person to tell my true feelings to anyone, I have never been super interested in anything that I've had opinions about it. I just never have. Yeah, I like things and I'm interested in things, but my opinions are mine and they aren't like completely thought out ideas and I just don't have anything to write about them.

The time when I first started blogging the most, well of course I always did it for credit in class, is when I was going through a rough time or change in my life. It wasn't like I was using it as my diary or anything, because that's really lame. I more used it as a way of getting what had been bothering me or what had been on my mind a lot...I used it to get all of that off of my mind. I gave my opinions about it. I never talked about a controversial issue or anything that was a popular topic, but more of what every high school senior was going through at the time. A lot of high schoolers have relationships, homework, college searches, and family problems. I wanted to write about the stuff other high schoolers could relate to. I didn't give advice, but I guess if anyone read this they would know that they aren't the only ones going through hard times or stuff like this...that everyone was going through it. I don't know...

I really did end up liking to blog. It was a good release for me and it made me happier for getting stuff out that I normally kept to myself.

Do I like Blogging?

Okay so when we first started this project about blogs in December I thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I didn't want to write about my opinion on the internet. I had absolutely nothing to write about and it honestly took me about an hour to even think of something to write about. I hated the project.

The first couple blogs I had trouble with. I didn't know what to write about. I also am never really around a computer outside of school so it was hard to remember to be by a computer to actually write the blogs. I finally started writing about things that was happening in my everyday life. Almost every senior is worried about college and what they should do with their future, so that's one of the main topics I wrote about. I also wrote about high school, my relationships, and my struggles I encountered with them.

After writing numerous blogs I actually found it relaxing just venting on here and writing about whatever I was going through at the time. It became pretty easy for me to come up with topics to write about and I really do enjoy blogging now.
