After reading tons and tons of blogs on fashion, journalism, celebrity, and anything under the sun, it seems so weird to even think about starting my own blog. Yet, here I am. I wonder if it's weird that I feel burdened by this.What if I'm not writing "well" enough? Who's going to be reading the miscellaneous things I'll be writing about? I just hope I don't get bashed here haha.
Making this blog was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Getting a pretty/interesting background with just a click of my mouse was pretty nice. I was worried I'd have to try to make my own background with weird programs or even worse, be stuck with a plain white background. I really should've written this post as soon as I made the blog because it took me so long to find the "New Post" link up at the top right. I guess I just have to get used to where everything is for now. I am a bit hesitant to tell my friends about this blog for several reasons. 1. I am definitely not one to write (a blog) for fun (or as a hobby). I usually don't like to write, period. 2. I'm going to writing for a class (!!!!) If my friends read what I say they could help, I guess, but for the most part, I feel like they would think it's so weird/lame. (hahahahahaha) 3. A lot of them think, "Who writes blogs these days besides famous people or people who want to be famous?" Since I am neither, it'd be weird for them
Nevertheless, I should tell them so they can give me some kind of feedback :)
As for the first assignment, my log of how much I interact with technology and for what reasons didn't really surprise me. I know I get online whenever I have the chance, even if I have nothing to do on it. Usually, I'd sit in front of my computer and refresh my Facebook page, Gmail page, Rutgers page, and repeat. However, I do use AIM to talk with highschool friends that I really miss for the majority of the time I'm on the computer. Technology has really made it easy to keep in touch with people.
What did surprise me was how much I crave/think about the internet. I came to NYC for the weekend and I wanted to get online to check my Facebook, Gmail, and Rutgers e-mail so badly, multiple times! In this case, it seems like the internet isn't just something I relieve my boredom with, but rather, something I became almost addicted to.
I'm sure blogging won't help with me addiction. :P
