I'd like to use this final blog post as a way to express my feelings for this blog and how I think this semester went in First Year Seminar. Blogging did not at all come naturally to me, simply because I couldn't find things that were interesting enough to me to talk about. I always tried to get ideas about first amendment rights and racism to go along with the theme of the class, however these honestly aren't things I am very passionate about. It may have gone better for me had I worked a little harder to find things I am really interested in and passionate about.

However I do believe that blogging is a great way to get us into the habit of writing, especially for those who didn't have to do a lot of writing in high school. Constantly writing these smaller posts as opposed to writing large essays every couple of weeks is a great way to get us started and get used to doing college level writing. It also helps us get ideas for how we can get our names out there for the future when trying to get into a career. It is like a stepping stone to making a website or something that one could use to show future employers to show who you are and why you should be hired. I believe blogging in this class was a great way to get us acclimated with college writing.

The class itself went well throughout the semester. We learned a lot in terms of history along with racism and constitutional rights in America. Besides that we also learned a lot about how to succeed as a college writer, and how to start getting ready for your career. I took a lot out of the classes where a guest came, like when the students came to talk about resumes. This class was a success and I am happy I took it and was able to learn all these new things.
