This has been a week of firsts for me. There was the beginning of college, being away from home for longer than ever before, and now I’m on to my first blog. Life is very different here than back home. There are no parents, hardly any homework, and a load of responsibility the likes of which I have never before seen. It makes me feel like I am finally a full-fledged adult. While the experience has been enjoyable so far, I can tell that it will take a great deal of getting used to, not to mention some much improved time management skills, but these skills will be needed throughout my life so it’s better to get them sooner than later.
For my first blog I did not really find any difficulty creating it. In fact, the most surprising thing was the fact that it is so easy to do. I like that you can just write about anything you want in a blog and personalize the page so that it fits your personality. In this way it is a lot like Facebook and MySpace. I found no problems in creating it other than having to get a new Gmail account, but other than that it was completely straightforward and simple. It used to be that writing for me was a hated process, but as I mature I find that it is much more enjoyable than before, especially when I can write about something interesting. If I enjoy my topic then the words just pour out.
This week has been a very drastic change from the laid back years of high school. I feel that I am acclimating well, but I won’t know for sure until grades begin to pour in. My opinion on blogs has changed a lot with this assignment, and I may try reading some in the near future. I really thought this would be just a boring assignment, but it is engaging and really interests me. I am looking forward to writing more in the future.
