Why blogging isn't for me

So last week's lecture talked about how you should insert yourself into your blog....

I spent well over an hour last night writing a blog about me, myself and I and I just couldn't publish it. I might be wrong, but for me, I can't see any benefit in plastering personal things about me over the internet. Yes, I will admit, this probably means I will never be a professional blogger.

Over the years I have tried to embrace blogs and twitter- but it's just not for me. And so I have come to the conclusion that I am not a very good Gen Y. I have no interest in everyone knowing everything about me, I don't need to have 800 Facebook friends to feel validated and I don't have time to blog on the same day at the same time every week. 

I do 5 subjects, work in a demanding marketing job and am trying to plan a wedding- I'm too busy living my life to blog about it! 

And I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way- I think it is great that people can be organised enough to create and maintain a blog- what I'm saying is that it's not my cup of tea. 

I will continue to post my blogs for online journalism because of two main reasons- First I need a good mark and the assessment is compulsory. But secondly and more importantly because I think the blog posts are an effective way of reflecting what has been learned over the course. I think I can do that and meet the criteria of the blog without telling you why my silver jacket is my favourite piece of clothing or that I can't stand it when my fiance yells at the TV when we're watching the rugby... 

So this is me- someone who will probably never have a regular blog but who will keep trying because my GPA is desperate for a 7 in OJ1!
