How I Feel About Blogging

I believe that blogging has its cons and pros. Truly, it all depends on what the topic is. For my class, I've had to link all of my blogs to nature, and that has caused limitations in my enjoyment.

It's not that I don't love nature, because I do, but I have difficulties appreciating nature during the school year. Sure, the snow is terrible, but often times going outdoors feels tiring and difficult during the busy times of a college semester.

In all honesty, thinking about nature during school just makes me depressed! All I want is full, year-round summer and the ability to enjoy that climate! (In other words, I need to move towards the equator.)

But I love nature, I truly do.

My blogging experience has been up and down. I enjoy writing about some things, like my weight loss journey and places I've traveled. But a lot of times I run out of time and creativity to keep writing blogs. It's something I would consider doing again after school, if I were traveling and desired a way to tell people about it.

So overall, it was a good learning experience. However, it's not something I would like to do again before graduation.

My Best Moments

Image
My best moments are often outdoors when it's warm. I love going on walks and running and taking the dog out. I love when my boyfriend will join me on a walk and whether or not we talk doesn't matter, because we're both utterly happy just to be. I spent most of my time in Colorado outdoors. My brother took me into the mountains and we hiked, even after it began to downpour. We were in love with the environment and the movement, so the rain didn't dowse our joy one bit. I spent a lot of time outdoors in Florida. My sister-in-law took me to St. Augustine, and I fell in love with the ocean for the first time. It wasn't my first time seeing it, but it was my first time appreciating its beauty and power and gentleness. The waves were strong but the water lapping at the sand was soothing and mesmerizing to watch. I never wanted to leave and I always want to go back. I spent all of my time in Guatemala outside. Our homestay had a wide, open patio directly in the c...

Pros and Cons of Getting a Pet

Image
Pro: 1. I am a responsible human being. My boyfriend acts like a child sometimes and I successfully take care of him. I mean, he's alive. Con: 1. Sometimes I can hardly take care of myself. I don't have time to be healthy, let alone keep a growing creature healthy, too. Pro: 2. I really want a furry companion. Somehow, fluffy dogs just make life a little easier. I'm a stressed girl and a creature who would depend on me and cuddle me sounds delightful. Con: 2. I hate picking up poop. And there are times when I feel like I need space. What would I do then? Pro: 3. I love being active and I love going to the dog park. Con: 3. Sometimes I go straight from school to work, so I don't even have time to go outside. And when I don't work, I have a ton of homework. Pro: 4. When I become emotional or unstable, I'll have a pup to make me feel better. Their presence alone is calming. Con: 4. Pets are so very expensive. Shots and food. I can barely affor...

Sledding on Hospital Hill

Image
A Piece About Sledding on Hospital Hill as a Child: The playground neared all too quickly as I coursed through the snow at hyperspeed. My body became as frozen as the ice accelerating the sled that I squatted on. I had no opportunity to plan or even think of hopping from my sled and diving into the plush protection of the snow. As the bars of the playground that jutted from the earth, threatened to bring me to an abrupt halt, my body at last reacted. My arms let go of the handles and rose to protect my body and I leaned to the side, causing the board to slip out from beneath me and fly in one direction as I flew the other way. I was pelted by the snow under me as I tumbled forward, one of my legs colliding with the navy blue bar. The immense pain was enough to make me feel ill, and worse yet, I could hear the laughter of the kids around me. Embarrassment clouded my cheeks with a red pigment, further dissolving my white skin tone. The cold air had already pinked my nose and...
