Blogs

This year has been a crazy year for me I have learned and experienced a lot. From the transition from high school to college to all the different and harder homework assignments I have learned a lot. These blog post that we do every week are new to me. I have never blogged until this year and I must say that if I was ever asked “did I enjoy the blogs” I would say yes and no. I mean nobody really likes doing homework and that’s what the blog assignments are is homework, but at the same time homework is something you have to expect in college. It’s not like high school were you can slack off and not pay attention. Since homework is expected in college I must put the no part aside and say yes the blogs were a great experience. The assignment for each week was to write two 500 word blogs, one over anything and another over a current event. I think that this is a great idea. Being in college and having a job leaves me little time to stay up to date with current events so the fact that one of the two post had to be over a current event kept me updated with the rest of the world. That is what I enjoyed the most about the blog assignments, staying up to date with what’s going on. However, theres a few things I wish were done differently. I mean obviously I wish we didn’t have to do them every week haha, but I wish that we had more prompts to write over. I’m not saying every single week have a prompt, but maybe 4-5 times a semester. I think this would be a good idea cause us students could see what our peers think about whatever the prompt might be versus your personal opinions. I think it would give us a wider view of opinions opening our eyes to what others think. Besides that I think that the blog assignments no other changes. I also believe that writing weekly blogs improved my writing skills. I know that at the beginning of the semester it took me a lot longer to write papers and that the papers didn’t flow as well as the do after I have written all these blogs this semester. After saying all these positive facts about blogging I can honestly say that I wont continue to blog regularly if at all, even though it has helped me develop skills and probably would continue to improve though skills there is just so many other things I would rather do. I can say that if I had plenty of free time and didn’t work all the time I would probably blog a few times a year whenever im really mad about something or I think there is something that people need to know other than that I cant say I would blog. Overall, I think these blogging assignments are great! Keep assigning them.
