Carla's Perspective

Have you ever been assigned something in a class that you have never done, but the sound of it wasn’t so bad? Well, that’s exactly how I felt when we were assigned to make blog posts. I sort of knew what it was, but I wasn’t too sure whether or not I was right. I saw it as a lengthy caption that I would write for Instagram, it can also be seen as a twitter post. When writing my first blog, I was quite nervous because I didn’t think I was doing it correctly, but after writing several blogs, I realized there is no wrong way to write a blog. It got more natural the more posts I wrote. When it comes to writing peer comments, I didn’t really know how to start my comments. I was quite nervous when writing my peer comments because I didn’t think they made any sense. Do you ever go back and read your response, and it just doesn’t feel like it meets the professors expectations? Because that’s how I felt with every single one of the comments I wrote. Though I would manage to get a good grade on all my comments. Overall I would say writing blogs was a great experience. I really enjoyed reading other people’s view about the topic we were assigned. There were a few that had similar responses, but there were others that had very interesting responses. Writing blogs really helped me with other writing assignments. I really struggled with starting my writing assignment, but after writing blog posts it made it easier to just write what was on my mind. My favorite part would have been customizing my page. It was very fun being able to have a little part of ourselves To the assignment. The only negative thing I didn’t like was how restricted we were to fonts. I was hoping to add all sorts of cute fonts, but it just had basic fonts.
