I like that the whole class and the seniors can see them if they want to. The point of the blogs is to be able to share what you&#8217;ve experienced and tell your opinion on matters.<\/p>\n<p>This is my whole problem with having to have a certain amount done a week. I can watch the news all day long and still not feel like I have something to comment on or tell my opinion about. I&#8217;ve been alive for seventeen years but that doesn&#8217;t mean I have a plethora of stories that I think are blog worthy. I like to put a lot of effort into the topics of my blogs and even more effort into the research I do for the blogs I do when I comment on today&#8217;s events.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I feel like I&#8217;m stuck on campus, unable to hear and see new things or talk to new people. I can&#8217;t hear their stories or opinions, which is where I get a lot of my story prompts from. It makes it more difficult to get the full extent of a story or concept, when there&#8217;s no one to compare with.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I don&#8217;t like constantly writing about sad and dark things that make you stare at the wall or forget how to come up with a sentence. I like writing about happy things that make people smile or at least not feel so down about life. And with my usual writing it&#8217;s usually the first of the two that ends up happening inadvertently, which is not my intention, so it takes extra time to convey my stories\/poems\/opinions in upbeat terms.<\/p>\n<p>In saying that, it kind of makes it look like I&#8217;m coming up with excuses, which I might subconsciously be doing, but not on purpose. I tend to take a lot of pride in my writing, despite what I say, and I want it to be the best it can be. I want people to really think and remember what I&#8217;ve given them. It sounds like I&#8217;m being a attention seeker or that my writing&#8217;s worth depends on the accounts of others but that is also not what I&#8217;m trying to say. It&#8217;s just, if someone is going to take the time to read something of mine, I want it to be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is sort of all over the place, but I feel like it tells what I&#8217;m trying to get across. Hopefully.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the thing: I really enjoy writing blogs.
