These last few months of creating this blog have been nothing but fun for me. In the beginning, I believed it would be difficult to write an entire blog post or two each month. I quickly realized that there was so much I could write about. The possibilities were endless. I enjoyed learning about new techniques, new information, and new blogs.
When I first created my blog, I planned to vary my posts with a little bit of everything. I wanted to write about recipes, lifestyle, travel, etc. but I found that I was best at writing about food. The majority of the blog posts that I wrote were recipes that I tried. From trying these recipes, I was able to discover dozens of healthy and delicious recipes to make. Along the process, I also learned many cooking and baking techniques that I had not known before.
By writing blog posts this past year, I had the opportunity to also read many other people’s blog posts. I especially loved reading some of my friends’ blogs because I was able to learn things that I had never known about them. There were also several topics that my friends would write about that interested me but that I had little knowledge on. Their posts were very informative and enjoyable to read.
In addition to my friends’ blog posts, I also discovered a few blogs outside of my high school that I liked as well and will continue to follow as they keep writing. The blogging community is a unique place and I am happy that I had the opportunity to be introduced to it.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience for me and a wonderful opportunity for growth both as a person and as a writer. I hope to continue casually writing blog posts at a later time in my life when I have a little more time because it is definitely something that I enjoy. Thanks for reading! ~Rachel
