My Blog Reflection

I had a rather difficult time choosing a topic for my Final Blog Project this semester, which could possibly be because the assignment in and of itself was rather broad. This could have worked one of two ways; for some people, the open ended assignment may have made it easy to pick a topic. Not for me! I chose to focus on small steps to sustainable living because last semester, I took a class called Moving Towards Sustainability, which I found to be extremely informative, intriguing, and important. Being an apartment dweller, that class sparked an inner curiosity as to how I could "greenify" my life in inexpensive, simple, and easily transportable ways. However, while I felt that my topic was narrow enough, it proved to be a bit too narrow, and I only ended up with one entry focused on green apartment living. I'm not really sure if my Blog even pertains to this past semester and the work and readings we did. In a way, I feel that it does. This class has been a study in people overcoming obstacles, barriers, and hardships in their lives, ultimately for drastic life changes and personal betterment. In a way, my Blog challenges people to examine their own lifestyles and perhaps make changes to better [their lifestyles]. In terms of grading my own Blog, I am not sure if it fully meets all the assignment criteria; I feel as though my posts could have been longer, more detailed, or focused on more narrow topics... My final reflection is present, and I have more than the required three postings, however short they may be... I cited sources both within entries and using a works cited list at the end of each entry, as well as having a separate posting dedicated to being a working bibliography. My topic did involve changing the world, although in small, subtle ways, and I provided multiple ways in which people could make their lives a bit greener. I researched the topic as best I could, and had a great time finding images to use in my postings. Aesthetically, I love my Blog. I only wish I had been able to find and compile more and better information!
