blogging?

So here I am once again, thinking about what I can write about for my ninth blog of the year. I honestly can’t find anything interesting to write about, and it’s basically impossible to write 1000 words about something that no one is going to read anyways. I know this is supposed to expand our writing skills and our minds, but can I be honest; it doesn’t. Sorry to offend anyone who enjoys writing blogs and telling the world what you think about it, but I don’t think we should be forced to write these “blogs” for everyone to read if we have nothing important to say. I know I’m not the only one that feels this way too. I spend at least an hour or two writing these blogs that don’t even get read, nor do they actually go toward my grade for this class to even matter. I think these blogs should be optional, and if you do them you should get credit for them, but if you don’t you shouldn’t get punished because they really don’t help. I don’t know about anyone else, but writing blogs does let me tell people what I did, and what I think; this doesn’t mean that people want to listen to what I have to say. Another thing that shouldn’t be required is for us to comment on our groups blogs; granted there are only three of them, but what does that accomplish? Yes, we should be reading something every week to keep learning and keep our minds at work, but reading blogs about things that I don’t necessarily care about is torture. I understand that we should read our groups blogs, but commenting on them isn’t important. Half of the time I have nothing to say about the blog because I’m not interested in it. Yeah, it is a way that you can see if we read each other’s blog, but we don’t have to read the blog in order to comment on it. Most of us, believe it or not, read a random sentence in the blog and then just comment on that part of the blog because we don’t read anything else. I’m not saying everyone does this, but it is safe to say that most of us do. We want to get a passing grade in this class, but we do the minimum, or do cheat the system. I’m not saying that everyone hates blogging and everyone hates reading other people blogs, but I know from experience that at least some of us feel that way.
So back in middle school, when blogs became the cool thing, I got one. Yes, I was a “blogger” but I really wasn’t because I never talked about anything interesting, I was in middle school. I didn’t have anything to talk about except for how I broke up with my boyfriend of the week, or how I got back together with my boyfriend of the week. I never talked about the world, or the news. I know blogging is supposed to be informative and interesting, but mine were not. I don’t even know if people read my blog, not that it mattered. On the other hand, it let me let out my feelings without saying them to someone’s face. I’m not sure if anyone read my blog when I was talking about them, which would have been bad.
On a different subject, Halloween was last weekend. I had a blast! Brian and I went to some rich guys’ house, and I was so jealous of it. It was really modern with high ceilings and really tall “industrial” doors. I was in love with it. After we went to that guys’ house, we went to our friends apartments and watched a really stupid “scary” movie, you know what I’m talking about. It was great, we also made cookies and they were delicious!
Well I honestly can’t write anymore. I guess I just have a boring life, but I don’t care.
Until next time,
Melissa
