So, you're probably looking at this and going "okay, what is this all about?" Let me tell you!
I was looking at blogs recently, specifically blogs for college students, and I noticed that there was a serious lack of weblogs that were focused on students that aren't freshmen. Everything's all about "prepare for college", "get ready for college", "what to pack for college", etc. Well, I've been in college about a year and a half now. Where's my website? No one answered that question, so I decided to write one.
Numerous studies have shown that college students hold a significant influence when it comes to internet usage, proven by the amount of time my friends spend on Facebook alone. Social media is a large portion of this, as college students, and people in general seek to connect with others over the internet. The sites we visit usually have a level of communication with other people, even if only in comments that we look at, but it makes us feel connected. We connect, learn, live on the internet.
And, as college students, sometimes our option of "learning" from the internet seems like a bit of a rip-off, we rarely find anything actually helpful or new for us to learn. And some days, we're okay with that. We pay school enough for them to teach us something. A lot of the time we just want to look at cats.

So that's this blog! Check it out when you need some help, or just want to talk to fellow students. And talk to me! Do you like this idea? Would you use it? What kind of tips would you like or benefit from? And if you want me to post a funny or helpful story, email it to me at spencerstephens1@gmail.com!
Next time, I'm gonna talk about how to use your break productively; get stuff done and have fun!
Great idea, Spencer! I think it will be interesting to have a site for college students to talk about the college experience. Can't wait to see how it develops!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the funny cat picture. :)
This is a neat idea Spencer. I don't look on blogs very much, but if there is a lack of sophomore-senior college blogs then it's a good thing you are filling this gap. I'd like to hear your opinion on how students should attempt to procure food for themselves. Given the option, would you recommend students just get a meal plan, or, if they can afford it, is it worth it to buy groceries and make your own food instead?
ReplyDeleteAnother thing you could talk about is how those of us who are no longer freshmen can be helpful to those that are.
I think this is an interesting blog post, but I feel like it belongs more in the about section as opposed to an actual post. I do think it's a great idea for a blog. I had a hard time finding blogs that related to college experiences besides the actual getting to college. It was rather annoying. There needs to be a blog like this!
