First Post

Here I am at Hofstra and I am blogging. I've been interested in blogging for a while now but I always felt that it was a bit pretentious. Maybe it's just because my idea of blogs comes from seeing many peoples' Tumblr accounts. From what I have observed, that blogging website must have been created to promote drama and an ever growing population of self absorbed teenagers across the globe. That is why it's refreshing to find a completely new blogging website. The merit and credibility of which has not yet been tarnished in my mind, as other blogging websites have been. I will admit, writing online makes me feel a bit uneasy, just because I'm completely unaware of who might be reading this right now. If I were having this conversation with someone in person I wouldn't feel as if I'm talking to myself and I would be able to see his reaction. Whereas someone could read this, completely despise what I have to say and I'd never know. Maybe that's the beauty of blogs. You don't have to see the negative reactions and harsh criticisms of other people if you do not wish to. Just within this first post I am discovering new feelings about online writing and I can not wait to see where it takes me in the blogging yet to come.
