Farewell to blogging…
At first when I heard that we had to start blogging for this class called Expo-1213, I thought that this was dumb and did not see a point in why we had to create this blog. While it took me a while to understand the point of this I had realized that blogging about doubles and various topics was essential to this course as it helped me understand what doubles are, vent and become a better writer.
Through this course I have learned a lot about writing, doubles, different ways people behave and what it takes to be a good writer and most of all why writing is important. To me, writing is a great way to clear your mind and talk about anything that is bothering you. Really, what has gotten me through this semester is writing. This semester has been a few highs and a lot of lows. With this being my sophomore year, I am taking much harder courses than I was last year causing me to be mentally exhausted. Along with the classes becoming much harder I had also experienced a breakup in this semester which was an interesting experience and unfortunately a loss of a family member, but what I credit to getting me through this semester is writing.
Overall, what creating this blog has shown me is that writing is the best way to clear your mind. Without creating this blog, I would never have thought of writing out my feelings and starting to keep a journal. For that, I am thankful for this course and for it actually being a class that helps my mental health.
Also if there anyone besides Dr. Mintler reading this, thank you for reading it and I hope you do not know me in real life. Just in case I talked about you or talk about my own personal feelings here lol.
