When we first received the assignment in Writing 150 to start a blog, I was a little nervous about it. I am not one who normally posts anything personal or super meaningful on the internet or social media. I tend to keep to myself!
So as I started to blog, I was pretty formal from the start because I had no idea what to write about aside from the things we were assigned to write. I have never been sure of my own writing voice, since most assignments we receive are not to be written from our own perspective. As my blogging went on, I tried hard to ease up and bring out my own voice and style of writing. I found that as I loosened up, the things I wrote about were more meaningful to be. I also found many things to write about! I wrote in greater depth and detail about things, and more importantly why they matter so much to me. I also tried to focus on being uplifting by sharing my hopes for the future, lessons I have learned, and how the gospel as helped me in my life. I have learned so much even from this first semester of writing college; things I hope to take with my for the rest of my life.
Some of the things I posted were very important to me, and I loved to think back on so many memories as I wrote them down. As I wrote some of these memories, I realized I don't have some of these experiences written down anywhere! This blogging experience has definitely effected my personal journal writing. I have started writing things that I have not yet recorded- the things matter most and I want to always remember.
