Student Blogging- A Good Modern Habit:
Blogging is communication. It is about recording our thoughts on paper and compelling others to agree with them.
As bloggers, we offer our thoughts on a topic. And to do so, that topic should fall under our area of interest that we are passionate about and we read a lot about it. Then, the readers get to respond. And often times, their responses in the comment section challenge us to take a new, fresh look at the very topic we thought was so important in the first place.
There might not be any readers to start with. But never mind, we still gain a lot. We must keep compiling our thoughts on all the important stuff that matters. Creating an archive that showcases a positive digital footprint to the world. We start developing an all rounded personality, our communication skills are getting sharpened. Our confidence gets improved as the day passes. And our network will also grow gradually as we read and comment on others blog too.
