A Farewell to Blogging

 

       With the semester coming to a close, so this blog will end along with it.

     Blogging has been a challenging, yet rewarding experience for me because I have learned more about my writing style, and gained  a bit of confidence as a writer.  In the end, I was happy to be given these types of assignments because it provided me with more skills as a journalist that I can put to use at a future job.

      Blogging has become a medium in which I enjoy writing in, but I don't think I could ever get used to the time commitment it takes to keep up with a blog.  

       While the time commitment was the most difficult challenge for me, as a whole, this class broadened my knowledge of political issues that I would never have actively searched out on my own.  To future students of this class who don't follow politics, I think there will be a love-hate relationship developed with keeping up on current issues that aren't celebrity or gossip-related.

     Keeping up with current issues was my biggest issue in the beginning, but now it has become a habit of mine to check on current affairs locally and nationally. While, I won't continue with blogging, this class has taught me that there's an interesting and vast world of blogs and bloggers out there who write on an array of topics that people can find with a few clicks of a button.
