Writing for writing sake, is that doable?

Blogging for Fun

I love to teach. I am not sure if that is related to blogging but I have found the last few weeks while at school, I think that is where blogging has been my way to teach in my own way.   I am currently blogging in my english comp classes.   I don’t know why but I think my creative juices are better when I am allow myself to write this really informative and great essays for my classmates.   That’s one thing that I’ve recently started to do in my college board.   They have this board where you can discuss anything and everything you want.   I’ve been blogging/discussing the tips and tricks to almost everything under the sun from writing a good essay outline to the fundamentals of writing an essay.

My Blog

Lately as you can tell, I’ve dragged over my essays and such to this blog because I wanted to share with you what I’ve learned or talked about.   I really do love to share my knowledge and maybe show people that they can do the things like I am doing.   You just have to step out of your comfort zone.   I love to write and it just seems to be getting better and better with every time I blog.  Lately I’ve seen how my blog has become more useful for others and even me.   I’ve wrote some really good information about the IATA Travel Pass.  There have been post in that are quite long but I think are really needed in the way they are using the app.   I started putting what I wrote in my academic area onto my blog to see what people think.  I started this almost 2 months ago, kept adding more and more each day every other day.

Education is Good

Not even me expected to love the academic of college life.   I must say this has been a real pleasure to blog about this stuff and see what types of responses I get.   I am sure I’ve lost people or I have gained people.   I don’t know who is reading my blog or even saying much at all.   I think that’s where it can be hard as a blogger to see the impact of your blog on your readers.   It can be very difficult to know if people are coming back or if they are just searching for one thing and leaving.  I am really curious as to know what people think or are they coming back to my blog.

Comments welcomed

I am curious to hear what people think about me posting my essays or my discussion on my blog.   I have even more discussions I can share with you and others if people are really curious to see what teachers are trying to teach in this day and age.   Why not leave a comment and tell me what you think?  Do you like it or hate it?  Do you want more or want more meat?   As a writer I want to know what my readers are thinking and also what they want more of.   So please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

How College has changed me in many ways

Before College

When I am writing this, I’m really thinking about how this has changed me.  My  blog has been really quite the last few years due to my overwhelming time for working all this over time at my previous job.   When the pandemic hit last year early 2020, the company, I was working at at the time had to make some really hard decisions and they decide to shut down our plant that I’ve been working at for several years.  So we started the process of shutting down the plant and they started the process of laying people off and putting 300 workers off to find better and greater things.   I say that with a little trepidation because they really didn’t care too much what we did after we got laid off or what our plans were.  They just shut the door and said good luck.   I hold no grudge with the company because they provided me with a stable income and a stable job even the benefits were a lot better than I was used to.  While the process was difficult for me and others because we would have to find a new job or go to a new location, I find it was also a rewarding aspect of getting  laid off.   I found that I could go back to school for a trade or skill and I took the opportunity to get my Information Technology Support certifications that I’ve always wanted.

To Present Day

If you haven’t been paying attention the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to keep posting stuff to my blog to talk about subjects that I thought were interesting.   It was required of us to talk about these topics and thought I would be nice to share my thoughts to the community at large.   I don’t expect everyone to understand the concept but I do think it’s something that I thought would bring even more people to understand me and my thoughts in the big world of college education.  We were required to write about certain subjects and I just wanted to bring you guys along for the ride.  So when we got the subject over with I would throw the writings that I did on the blog to see what people thought or what type of response I got from it.   So far it’s not been extremely bad or good, I’ve seen people coming more to my blog on a regular basis but I’m hopeful that more people will drop by and see what I might be posting in the future.

Future Plans

The future is bright for me, I intend to continue the process of writing posts.   If I see a discussion that I like and think others will be enlightened,  I will most likely publish it on my website.   I’m just at odds to what my professors will say or do if they think I am plagiarizing my own work.   I doubt they can do anything more than smile because I am using my own work and sharing it with the world.   It also helps prevent others from using my work for their own devious needs in the future.  I started scheduling more blog post in the coming weeks and I’ll sit down later on this week or next and write even more post to keep this momentum up.  I’m hopeful that more people will come to my site for insightful thoughts and knuckets from me.   So you see college has helped me to see that I’m a better writer than I thought.  I never thought my blog was anything special.  I just like to write and it was something that I wanted to try.   I’ve got some good responses from classmates about my work and that is why I published them here.

College and Me

Finally, I will talk about how it has changed me.   You might not know much about me but you know that I love to write and love to discuss what’s on my mind and that can be a great enjoyment of mine.   I think the biggest thing that has happened to me is that I have a better understanding on how well I write and what people think about my writing abilities.   All the teachers are really impressed and surprised by what I write about how how well I discuss subjects.  The one thing I can say to anyone who’s thinking about college, do something that brings you joy.  You can’t lose when it comes to grades and your life will better for it.

Do you like what you’ve read so far?  Why not comment and tell me what you liked or hated about my blog posts.   I’d love to hear from my current readers and to see my blog posts being shared around the world.
