Blog Experience

When I was little I used to keep a diary where I would rant about the silly fights with my sisters or the total tragedy of a boy not liking me back in the ever so dramatic third grade -ahh, those were the days... Flash forward 12 years up until the beginning of the semester and I had no clue how to express my feelings so freely as my 9-year old self could. 

As part of the Journey in Literature class, the students had to set up a blog, and apart from an amateur Tumblr page, I had no idea how to write and maintain a proper blog that people would actually want to read. I decided to keep it simple and clean and write as I normally did. Since I do like writing assignments and especially enjoy them in English, I thought of the blog experience as writing bits and pieces of a never-ending essay with the main topic being "journeys". As I kept writing post after post, I thought the project to act as a good therapy session (much like the journal entries!). Although I mainly focused on the class topics and assigned themes, a comment by a fellow classmate and blogger (shout-out to Armando!) triggered the idea that I could keep up said blog and narrate all of the other journeys that await for me in the near future. 

I have a lot on my mind and ideas I like sharing with people, and by setting up a blog I feel as though there are other people out there in the world that may agree or disagree with me and I would absolutely love to read about what they would have to say. The internet is the new social scene and one can connect with another person in a whole different continent without ever leaving the comfort of your room! I wonder if people from different places would like to read my blog for the class or continue reading any other adventure blogs I might come up with after being introduced to the blogging world by a literature class.
