Your First Post - Spring 2018

This week, your post will be a basic introduction to who you are and what your blog will be about - it's your first post, so you can really carve out your niche in this space. While you will have the freedom to write about what you want from week to week this semester, you have to start somewhere... and what better way than to start off with an introductory post!

So - introduce yourself. Who are you? That's a loaded question. Unpack it (using as much self-disclosure as you deem fit). Example things to potentially include: Name and where you are in life right now, what you want to do in life, etc. As you went through the process of creating your blog, you made specific decisions in terms of the theme, background, the images, and other things that you selected over something else. Was there a reason for that?

Next - what makes you tick? What interests you? This can potentially be the direction of the blog. It doesn't have to be just one thing either. This is your space. Personalize it.

Your blog post should be a few (short) paragraphs, roughly about a half page single spaced if you were to type it into a Word document. Posts should be up by 5:00 p.m. Friday, January 26.
