Assigned Entry #4: Bye-bye Blog

Well, blogging has been fun, but it’s time for me stop!

The semester (well, first summer) is over and I won’t have time to blog anymore with all of my new classes coming up.

I really liked sharing all of my findings with all of you and teaching some of you a little bit.

I always tried to find fun or interesting information to share, so I hope you all enjoyed it.

I know I enjoyed learning new things too!

I’m glad I got to know the blogging experience; it helped me grow a lot as a writer.

Thanks to this blog I was able to open myself up for new writing styles.

You’re probably thinking, “How in the world can blogs help with writing an essay?”

I know, it’s hard to believe and even harder to connect the two together.

Well, basically, when I write my blogs, I write as if I’m me.

I talk as if I’m having a normal conversation with someone.

But when it comes to writing an essay, I would write professionally; it wouldn’t be me.

So after seeing the difference in the two, I started writing my essays as I write my blogs.

This wasn’t my idea, though.  My professor recommended it, and I’m glad he did.

My essays sound a lot better now; they’re more interesting, and they’re more fun to write!
Weird, right? I know!

I never thought I would actually enjoy writing, but when I write as I do in my blog, it’s a whole different experience.

Has everyone else been writing this way all along?

I hope so!

If you haven’t, you should definitely give it a try.

It might feel weird writing an essay as if you were writing a blog at first, but you’ll get used to it and enjoy it more.

Writing doesn’t always have to be boring; you can make it fun by how you say things!

Personally, I’m glad I had to write blogs for my English 101 class.

It didn’t feel like homework and it helped me improve my writing.

If developing writing skills was always this easy, everyone would be a great writer!

Plus, it’s much more fun than writing essays because you get to receive comments from people and interact with the audience.

I wish I could’ve gotten into blogging sooner; my rhetoric would be so much better!

Professor Nielson should definitely keep this as an assignment - students will not only grow more, but their writing will definitely improve.

Besides, even if students don’t improve (which I’m sure they will), they’ll have fun blogging.

Well, I’ll try to keep up with this blog once in a while, but don’t expect much!
I’m a busy girl!
