I can confidently say that writing makes up a major part of my life. My mum told me that after my first day of school I told her that the school was ‘rubbish, because they haven’t taught me how to read yet’. I read whenever I can nowadays, and when I get the chance I will update my fashion blog. My ten or so followers don’t seem to mind that the posts are occasionally weeks apart!
For this task I racked my brains trying to think of something interesting about myself to write about, but it was difficult. I think I’m probably similar to every other girl in this room! We shop, we laugh, we eat, we sit in bed watching desperate housewives for 3 hours eating crisps! I think what makes us interesting is what we find interesting ourselves, and for me that’s writing. What we like to do in our down-time and our hobbies is really what defines us as people, whether that’s watching films, going shopping or playing rugby!
Whenever I have an interesting or meaningful experience I will write about it, sometimes on my blog, sometimes personally in my diary. People seem to think that keeping a diary is something for lonely people to confide in, but in reality it’s not just a shoulder to cry on, it’s a document of your early life!
Looking back at my writing from when I was younger definitely makes me cringe and wonder ‘why did I write that?!’ but as time goes on it’s a lovely indicator of where you were at and a reminder of your experiences that you had probably forgotten about!
I think the most interesting thing about me at the moment is my passion for this course and my dedication to my career. We are all in the same boat on this course and we all want similar things for our futures, which is why I chose to focus on writing for this task. Hopefully and most likely it will appeal to you as much as it does to me.
