A Day in the Life

    Wow! Blogging is a whole other animal, and I had no idea the effort, time, or thoughtfulness that it took to write a blog. I also never realized how useful or abundant they were. For years I've been reading blogs for research or just general information without realizing that I was actually looking at a blog. While I did check the facts and inquire about statements that seemed biased, I never really thought more about the type of article that I was looking at.      If we're being totally honest, I didn't think that blogging would be that hard when we were first assigned it.

I played sports, was involved in the arts, took CCP classes and was an active DECA member.

Although I've had mixed feelings about starting college, I knew that one way or another I'd find out what was right for me. Moving in was kind of hectic, and truth be told I probably could've handled it
