Passion Blog 1: Passion Blog Pitch
There are a lot of things that I’m passionate about and that I’d like to share with the world, and yet this is a bit difficult for me to come up with. I have some ideas:
Idea 1: Taylor Swift Albums: Since there are about 10-12 passion blog posts (I’m not actually sure the number) and there are ten Taylor Swift albums (not including re-records), this would be a good option for me as a Swiftie. I could go through each album and highlight the best and worst songs on the album, the overall vibe, the context of the album, and the impact on her career and the music industry. This could help go through all of the stages of her career as she has risen to become one of the most successful musicians of all time. This is also something I feel I could write a lot about since I have been listening to her music since her debut.
Idea 2: Women’s Reproductive Rights: This one is a bit more serious than my first idea but still something I’m passionate about. I have done a lot of research in the past about reproductive rights, especially following the overturn of Roe v Wade, and could use this space as a platform to share my knowledge on these topics- including abortion access, bans, restrictions, birth control, and more. I am also enrolled in a Women and Gender Studies class this semester so I could use information from that class as well to enhance my understanding. While this is a more controversial topic depending on who you’re talking to, it is still something I feel I could talk a lot about and create a lot of valuable content on, which is the purpose of these assignments.
Idea 3: Barbie Movie Reviews: This one is also very unserious, but growing up I loved animated Barbie films and continue to watch them as comfort movies to this day. A lot of them still contain important messages, funny one-liners, and some of the best music. My sister and I reference these movies all the time and this is actually a very widespread experience among Gen Z. I think these posts would be very relatable and nostalgic and would allow me to delve into my childhood experiences. I think as a college freshman this would be refreshing and could be a good opportunity for me to use my knowledge on this topic for something actually useful!
