Entry #11. Blogging.

Blogging has literally changed my life. I have never gotten more joy out of doing an assignment before this English blog; it didn't even feel like homework. I found out that I am a much better writer than I thought I was and I really enjoy discussing topics that interest me to others.

I feel like people are really good at giving their standpoint or opinion on a subject but never really reflect and analyze why they have this opinion. Blogs are a perfect opportunity to tell the world your perspective and explain why you feel the way you do. It is a wonderful way to connect with people all over the world who are interested in discussing similar subjects with you.

Blogs bring motivation and knowledge about so many different life aspects. One can learn how to better their eating habits, change their physical activities, learn more about a specific hobby, and ultimately enhance their lives.

I love that blogs are so personable and visual; you can add all sorts of videos and images in between your text to make the reading much more creative and enticing. They are organized by date and easy to navigate with specific hyperlinks.

Before this, the only time I would ever "blog" was when I was updating my statuses on social media. I have an Instagram, Facebook and Twitter that I update pretty regularly but I never took the time to create a more serious and lengthened blog. After this experience with blogging, I am going to continue to post regularly on this Relayed by Lexy website and hope that people still read my posts.

I am taking English 102 next week and was told this will be included in that course as well which made me very happy. I am excited to be able to continue the rest of this semester on my blog and share many more ideas and perspectives with the world.

I loved to read and keep up on my classmates posts as well. It was very interesting to hear the opinions of the others I attend school with and I loved to see the different self-generated topics that were chosen. There is such a wide variety of people in this world and we are a blessed generation to be able to connect with this entirety through technology.

If you have not already made a blog, I would highly suggest you consider it. It is a calming experience to be able to vent the thoughts that are in your head and pour them out onto a computer screen. Your words could impact someone or even change a life and you don't even know it. Even if you don;t think you are a good writer, take a chance and challenge yourself. Tell me how a few weeks of continuous blogging affects your life.. Are you a natural blogger?
