Throughout my life, I have never really been someone who wrote for
fun. Yes, I have put all my effort into the different papers I have been
assigned in both high school and college, but I never really enjoyed it. There has
been the occasional topic that has interested me more than others which made it
easier to write about, but I was just never really a fan of writing in general.
I always dreaded the papers I was assigned, and almost always procrastinated
them until the last minute possible.
To be completely
honest, when the semester began and I learned we had to write weekly blogs I
was dreading it. However, as the semester progressed and I wrote my blogs on
topics I chose and wanted to write about, I actually started to really enjoy
it. I was able to find topics I was passionate about and write about them with
my personal opinion. My topics included the newest NBA VR headsets, the new sunscreen
ban in Florida, and of course, the well-known UNC vs. Duke basketball rivalry.
If
blogging, and the internet in general, had been around during Martin Luther King’s time, then I think that he and
many others would have taken full advantage of it. I am sure that he would have
written as much as he could to express his thoughts and opinions on all of the issues
he found to be important. This would have been especially helpful for the
people who wanted to hear him speak but were unable to attend a speech in
person. He could have constantly updated people on his newest opinions and
provided even more motivational thoughts than he did.
I would recommend
that all future students keep up with their blogs during the semester and do
not wait until the last minute. There is always something in the news or a new
interesting product being released that can be written about. It is so much
easier to crank out a blog post once a week rather than to wait until the end
and have to write all the blogs at once. If you stay on top of your blogs and
constantly update with new ones, it will make the class much easier and less
stressful at the final deadline.
Overall, this
class is very enjoyable and informative on all media history and current media trends.
The blogs can be very fun if you let them be and pick topics you really want to
write about. I am very happy I chose to take this class and am looking forward
to taking Media Law & Ethics my senior year.
Thanks for reading :))
