Hello there.
As you may notice, I haven’t posted anything on my blog in
quite a while, and, honestly, I have no good reason. Since I’ve been at
university, my motivation has seems to have plummeted and I haven’t posted on
here for around six months now. Considering I do a Journalism degree, you would
have thought I would have been motivated to post more often. But it appears to
have done the opposite. Don’t get me wrong, I still love writing. I always have
done and most likely always will; it’s something that comes quite naturally to
me.
Anyway, although I have been a Journalism student for the
past two years, I feel like I need something more than just a degree to get me
where I want to be in the future. I am currently on a year out from my studies
to get some relevant voluntary experience so I don’t JUST have a degree at the
end of my studies. Yes, a degree is great, but these days, employers look for
experience in whatever field you’re going into. I have already been into my
local newspaper as part of my voluntary work, but have found that it wasn’t
really for me. Although I love writing, I don’t really like writing the news, and that’s
just about all you write about in a NEWSpaper. 90% of the time, I feel like
news is either boring or negative, and I need to be writing about something
that I would enjoy reading myself.
I thought this year would be a good time to also get back
into writing on my blog. Although the newspaper wasn’t for me, I didn’t want to
give up on something I love, so what better place to share the stuff I do love,
than here. I’m going to be writing about things I care about and basically my
everyday happenings. I want to make this blog somewhere that I can document my
journey and personal experiences (not to sound cheesy).
The past few times I have tried to get back into writing on
here, I have pressured myself a lot to try and write a certain number of posts
a week, which is what I think made me less motivated. So from now on I will be
writing whenever I want to and not when I feel like I should be.
Thanks for reading!
