Anticipating the End

I began writing my final blog post without any real structure at all. I simply let all my thoughts and feelings about the semester just flow out of me until I had something quality to work with. I am about half way done with it but I still have so many things I wish to say.

I began to think about all the important life lessons I have learned from this Inquiry class and started to apply them to each of my experiences here at Southern. I wanted to make a real connection between what I have learned this past semester in my reflective blog post. I believe it is important to make this post very personal since it is 100% focused on me. I plan to include examples and short anecdotes of my experiences. I also plan on including tips I have gained throughout the semester. Although this blog post will have a narrative style, I still want my audience to learn something from it. I believe that this blog post will force its readers to examine themselves. I want my audience to take away something from it and apply it to how they structure their own lives.

Separate from the informative aspect, I want it to be creative. After reading Twyla Tharp’s book I have learned many more ways to express my creativity. This book has made my own creativity come into my mind more frequently. I believe I have become more conscious of this so I am going to try very hard to make my final post as creative as possible.

Lastly, I want this blog post to be a true reflection of all the hard work and effort I have put into this last semester. I want it to show my perseverance to succeed and my conscientiousness towards my academics. I have done well on all my blogs so far so I want this one to over-shine everything I have done before. I want it to be unique and significant to me. I want to finish writing it and not feel as if a whole part of my time at Southern was missing.
