Last Blog for English 101

Writing a blog every week was not easy. Sometimes I wrote it late, a few times I had nothing to write about, often though, it helped me understand how I was growing and changing during the first semester.

I can't say I enjoyed writing the blog. Many Sunday's, on my way back to MC, I would shout, "I forgot to write my blog!," then have to run to my dorm room and reflect on a week in which I could find nothing worthwhile to write about. It is difficult to reflect and write about someone who is constantly changing and evolving. I look back on my first few blogs and remember what I was going through. I think the blog assignment helped me get through a difficult time. I had chosen a college I was not sure about, came to school without friends, and began to try to sort out what I was to gain from Mississippi College. The blog helped me work through my thoughts. Even if I didn't write as personally as to let the reader know exactly what I was going through, just sitting down to write and having to reflect and think was almost a therapeutic act.

I had a lot of interesting times this fall, the presidential debate, visiting all of my friend's colleges, going home to a house that isn't really mine anymore, we even had fun in our blog with mine and Jared's pretend breakup.

I know when I am no longer at MC or even in college for that matter, I can read my blog and it will take my back to what I was feeling at that moment. These blogs will always be a look into my life during my freshman year of college, and I hope to enjoy reading them a few years from now. I am sure that on occasion I will have a memory lapse on a Sunday afternoon and yell, " Oh no, I forgot to write my blog!"
