The First Blog

I’ve always heard about blogging, read blogs, and had countless journalism professors ask, “Do you blog?” Well, I’ve decided to change my answer to that question and get started with the Blogs, blogs, do I capitalize blog? 

Whatever.

Granted I am starting this because a prof told me to. But so what, I was going to eventually make one anyway, really… I was. To be honest I’m not even sure where to go with this. I guess it’s my Blog, blog, I’m not going to capitalize it, I can write about whatever I want.

For the first post I figure it would make sense to introduce myself. If you care enough to come here and read what I have to say then I at least owe it to my readers to introduce myself.

I go to school at Monmouth University in West Long Branch NJ. I have a major in Communication with a focus on Journalism. I am en editor at my college’s newspaper The Outlook for the Club and Greek section. I get to cover a lot of events on campus which is pretty cool, next semester I may switch to entertainment. Ultimately I’d like to write about sports and music, which I figure I can start here on this blog.

What better place to learn from mistakes?

This blog won’t be graded and I don’t have to stress over every word I type. I can actually write for myself with no reason behind it other than wanting to share my thoughts with whoever is willing to read them. I don’t have to worry about word count or deadlines, I can write what I want and when I feel like it.

Thanks for reading.
