Writing Style

I am not into blogging… to be completely honest, I had no idea what a blog was until I was told to make one for this class. What I have discovered is that I absolutely love it! Having the ability to put my opinions out for everyone to read is amazing, and since I am double majoring in communications (public relations) and journalism, this project is by far my favorite from any class up to this point in my educational career.

When I was told that I had to write about a blog, I was at a total loss. I had never read a blog that wasn’t from Professor Falk or one of my classmates. While I went searching for a blog that I liked, I stumbled across an author named Aida Falzic. She has her degree in public relations and is fluent in three languages. However, what caught my attention is her ability to discuss serious topics as well as lighthearted ones.

My favorite post on her blog is her first one: “You Can’t Sit With Us!” The reason that I love this particular post is that it is so true. She discusses cliques and that they don’t stop after high school and even after college. She claims that it is still a problem in the workplace. I think that what makes her writing so successful is using a quote or example from a popular subject like a movie in her posts. This draws you in and is usually humorous. She doesn’t use any other types of multimedia components, but I still like her style of writing, and I think that it speaks for itself. She writes from the heart and personal opinion, so she doesn’t really need other forms of multimedia to make her point.

I hope that my writing has the same impact on others as hers has on me, for she makes me think with everything she writes. I encourage everyone to read a few of the posts on her blog.
