When I look back on my blog posts, I see a lot of stories that show growth and initiative, and all the other words people use to humbly brag about themselves. Quite honestly, I've been a fan of my own work, as these posts have been a way for me to open up through a more comfortable medium than straight speech. I feel like through these posts, I have been able to freely talk about myself and fluidly express my opinions in ways that I was never able to do before. I don't think my writing style has changed that much over the course of these posts, but I feel like it has definitely become more experimental. I'm not simply writing five paragraphs with a thesis and a conclusion as much as I am trying to flow through my essay and present what I want when I want. This has allowed me to integrate ideas and thoughts better, and while it has disallowed me from ever wanting to write a normal paper again, it has definitely made me more confident in myself.
Honestly, I've been amazed by the quality of writing by my classmates. When reading through the posts, it is hard to simply choose on person, because everyone had pieces they excelled on and made their own. I think the format of this class has benefited not just me but the entire class, and has led us all to establish unique writing styles that truly represent our own personalities.
EDIT: I apologize for how sappy this paragraph got.
In the future, I'd honestly like to write even more out of my comfort zone and push myself further. I'm already doing this with things such as making my second unessay a potential podcast, but I'd also like to do this with the blog posts by challenging myself to think way out of the box for every prompt.
