Wrapping it up!

This whole blogging experience was way better than I thought it would be. In the beginning of this semester, when I first heard that we were blogging in my English 112 class, I hated the idea because, writing really isn’t my thing, and that I wasn’t really comfortable putting my blogs and my business out in public. I would have never pictured myself ever blogging, but these past four months blogging has been great!

There were so many topics to choose from, but I knew that time management was the right choice for me. My time management in the beginning of the semester was terrible, I would never have any time on my hands, I procrastinated way too much, and I was stressed to the max. But blogging about my problems with time management definitely helped me get through it.

Blogging about time management made me realize that I just can’t do everything and that I need to say no sometimes. Reading other bloggers in my community and reading articles, gave me some really good suggestions and ideas.

After reading blogs and articles, I made a huge decision, and that was to quit dance for the rest of the year. Honestly, quitting dance was one of the best things that I have done, because I thought I would never give up something that I loved and have been doing for 15 years, but I realized that it was taking up too much of my time and that I needed to stop and focus on school.

Ever since quitting dance I have had more time on my hands, I am less stressed and I have been able to focus on my school work. I wouldn’t have been able to do all of this if I never have blogged, so I am very happy that I chose this topic, because it has to help me get through my struggles and has helped make some really big decisions and also, I have gotten some really great feedback.

Even though I don’t think I was a part of my community at all, I really enjoyed reading and commenting on other peoples blogs in my community. I felt that I wasn’t a part of my community because I would comment on blogs more than once but they never would never respond or would never comment on my blogs.  But I am pretty sure that I am not the only that this is happening to.

For being a first time blogger, I thought my blogs were pretty good and very successful. I have over 150 page views, and have had people from all over the world read my blogs, which makes me feel great. Even though I was a bit nervous about writing my blogs, a lot of people have tend to like my posts which it great.  Although, I did have a hard time writing my first couple of blogs, but they started to get easier each week I did them.

Overall, I am very pleased with all of my blog posts, and I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. I think that blogging is such a great way to get out your thoughts, ideas, struggles, and experiences. Even though I am not continuing with my blogs, I am so happy that I was able to blog about time management in my English 112 class; I probably wouldn’t be able to accomplish all of the things that I have been able to accomplish now.
