Passion Blog Ideas

Some of the ideas I’ve had for a passion blog have included the following:

  1. Hiking/travel themed blog – I love hiking! I haven’t visited a ton of places or gone on very many memorable hikes but it is something I’ve done quite a bit and would love to continue in the future. I would include images that I’ve taken myself (as long as I have them). Otherwise, I might include a guide to hiking for a complete novice or a hike I haven’t been on that I would really like to explore. I guess this would fall under the category of “hobby blogs,” but I might try and make it more directed at the “experience blog” type in order to increase excitement.
  2. A Policy blog about green living – Penn State’s many green initiatives could belong on this type of blog, as well as blogs about environmental policy of the US and other nations as a whole. This blog could be as microscopic or macroscopic as I want. An article might be about just what can be recycled at Penn State and how to make sure you waste as little as possible, or about me attempting to take shorter showers. Alternatively, I could discuss some of the many issues that are larger than just us, such as greenhouse gas emission and just how this leads to climate change and what can be done to help. I am definitely one of those people who is very alarmed about the current state of our environment but isn’t doing much to fix that.
  3. As far as a humorous lifestyle blog goes, I could write an article about how to be a freshman in college. Often, articles and ideas center around how to not stick out and label yourself as a freshman when you’re in college, but creating a guide on just how to show everyone that this is indeed your first semester of college could be interesting. However, I typically find that I am the only person who finds my jokes funny, so I think staying away from comedy would be smart….

As far as these three ideas go, I am strongly leaning towards the first (and keeping the second as a possibility, too!) For now, you can find this blog here.
