So hello? I guess you probably won't read this since you made your own blog haha. (I haven't been stalking you what are you talking about? I just stumbled upon a Google plus post of your blog) But I'll write about this anyways.
First it's been officially 8 months since anything was written. And well this blog was a very interesting idea. Since those 8 months there we've sort of gone our own ways. You go to University in Northridge and I go to one in Irvine. It's been officially one week since I started school and 4 or 5 weeks since you started. My school year has started out rough and I have felt like I wasn't good enough but I won't go into details. One of my assignments has been to start a blog for one of my classes called Humanities Core. At first I was excited after I turned it in extremely confident but afterwards when I saw a couple of students' blogs I felt like I had done the assignment wrong. The truth is the content of their first blog posts were extremely elaborate while mine was just... basic. I still believe this. The prompt was to look for a picture of war and describe what the photographer wants us to feel about war. I was being basic and decided to just directly answer. That was my mistake. Yet when I look back on this blog I feel like when we wrote personal blog posts or just blog posts about our feelings I feel like they were good. I mean I guess the reason why I was so confident is that these blog posts are more real and personal. While when I am writing for my class blog I know that my peers and my instructor are going to read them so it makes me more conscious. Maybe if it were just peers I wouldn't feel so conscious but the fact that a teacher is reading it makes it feel like I have to answer in a somewhat formal way and I can't be as casual. Like one of my classmates even had a bibliography on her first blog post. I feel like the blog I'm making for class is so... fake. I feel like I am forcing myself to write a blog. I mean yes I know it's work. But having a minimum word limit I have to meet makes me write nonsense. I feel like it shouldn't have a word limit. Maybe a maximum but having a word limit you have to meet feels so limiting. I don't know maybe I'm just complaining for no good reason. Maybe there is a word limit so I can challenge myself and come up with new ideas. The whole purpose of this blog post is basically to explain my frustrations. I felt like I was good at blogging but it turns out I'm not as good as I thought I guess I just have to push myself more.
