For my final blog post, I will be writing about my experience with writing a blog this semester. This blog was honestly what I had expected it to be. My other english class I took at Dayton had us make a blog and have blog posts every week, so it wasn’t anything new to me, and most english classes my friends have taken have also done the same thing. I didn’t like that almost all of the blog posts didn’t have a prompt because I found it really difficult to come up with my own prompts, and it is a lot easier for me to write about a given topic. Other than that it wasn’t too difficult, I just thought of it as busy work because we weren’t writing about anything we were learning in class. I won’t continue this blog after the course, because I only started it since it was required for a grade so I didn’t do it because I genuinely enjoy it so I have no intrinsic motivation connected to this blog. I also just don’t enjoy writing, and I would rather do other things with my free time. The one thing I did find beneficial was practicing my writing outside of required papers, and being able to be creative with what I wrote. But I didn’t feel any immediate gratification from my blog posts, because I genuinely don’t think anyone reads them so I feel like they are somewhat pointless. I know everyone in my class had to post their blog links, but we never interacted with each others. My last english class we got extra credit if we commented on a certain amount of our peers blogs, and I feel like that would have been beneficial for this class so we actually interact with each other’s posts, and we know that people might actually read what we are writing.
