4 Tips for Writing Blogs


Online writing is just one of the many ways people are able to express themselves and communicate their message. More specifically, writing blogs is an activity in which writers can do just that. Blogs allow for creativity and expression alike, although, sometimes writers can be greeted with a blank screen and a blank mind to accompany it. Below are some helpful tips to kickstart your writing and get your blogs noticed!

Write About Something You Are Passionate About

While you're racking your brain trying to find the perfect topic, try to pick something you love! There is no doubt you will have a lot to say about this area and your writing will reflect how you feel. Who knows, maybe your passion for a topic will cause a reader to feel the same way!

Do Some Research!

Even if you don't directly use the information you find (but if you do, give credit to your sources!), sometimes a little research can spark some ideas you forgot you had. You may even find yourself coming up with more topics to write about!

Make Your Blog Visually Appealing

Ensure to start your blog post with a catchy phrase or "hook", something to immediately grab the reader's attention and leave them wanting to know more. It is also ideal to have a nice picture that can draw some attention and make your post more attractive.

Have Your Post Reflect Who You Are

One of the beautiful things about writing your own blogs is you can put your own personality in there! Feel free to add a little humor or even some quotes that speak to you. Don't hold back—show the readers who you are through your words! A little uniqueness can go a long way!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
