The Mixed Emotions of Blogging

Hi everyone! My name is Rochelle Gardner and I am currently in my 4th year at Lakehead University. I am in the Concurrent Education program majoring in English. This is my first time writing a post for a blog and I have to say that I am quite anxious but very excited. I have always wanted to start a blog when I was younger because I had a passion for writing and I wanted to write short stories and give advice but at that young age, sports and music took up most of my time. So I am thrilled to get the opportunity to be able to start a blog now and get to relive my teenage dream. However, with the thrill of starting a blog comes anxiety. I have no idea what to write or how to write it. There is the concern of trying to make my blog fun, witty and intriguing. On top of all that, I want people to finish reading a post instead of starting it, reading half way and then quickly exiting it because what I wrote was boring. I want my blog to be interesting and reflect my personality and how I am as an individual. I also want my blog to showcase my growth through out this course. With that being said, I am looking forward to enhancing my learning and letting all of you get an inside look into knowing the real me. Welcome to my blog, Rochelle's Reality.

    Hi Rochelle! Don't be anxious, writing blogs are very fun and exciting. I do agree it is a little intimidating to start one but once you know what you want to blog about then it is a lot of fun! I have written blogs before so I know how it feels when you start a blog. Your blog is about you and what you are interested in so people who have the same interests as you will eventually find you and be reading your posts. Lastly I would like to ask if you will be connecting other forms of social media to your blog? :)

    Thank you so much. It is nice to know that you have had some experience in writing blogs and to know that it is not as intimidating as I think in my head. With regards to connecting other forms of social media in my blog, I would like to somehow incorporate instagram because of the pictures that I see on my timeline. I would also like to incorporate twitter because there are always so many different types of information and other fun and exciting things. I would not know how to incorporate snapchat because I feel as though snapchat is more on a personal level and is meant to be intimately shared between close friends and family but if you have any ideas on how to incorporate snapchat in my blog, then I would love to hear them! Thanks again for your comment. It was really helpful and much appreciated. :)
