Ok so it turns out that writing blog posts are harder than I thought they were going to be. Having 0 experience in reading or writing blogs, I thought it was going to be just as easy as turning off your mind and letting your fingers type.<\/p>\n

Only, it wasn’t this easy. I ended up having to think more about what I was going to write in my blog posts than I did in actual essays. I guess that’s just because essay writing seems to be natural at this point, whereas blog writing is something completely new. I think what I found most difficult was trying to write in a way which reflects my personality and not essay-like. For some reason I just felt like I could never really fully tap into that sort of writing style. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to phrase something so it didn’t come off as dull and boring.<\/p>\n

Another issue I had was thinking of creative formatting to write my blogs in so they were not super dull and hard on the eyes. I’m a physics major, so my artistic design and intuition really isn’t my strong suit. I did enjoy the creativity and flexibility this forced me to think about though. It exposed a new type of writing which was very refreshing since I’ve only written academically for the past 13 years.<\/p>\n

I really did like the experience of blog writing though. It gave me an introduction on how to use another voice that I can later apply into more informal essays or similar projects.<\/p>\n
