One interest I have, that I believe would make a good topic for my blog, is reviewing and analyzing books that I am either reading or have previously read. I thoroughly enjoy reading good books and especially classics such as “Great Gatsby”, “1984”, “Brave New World”, and “To Kill a Mockingbird”. I also enjoy reading a broad variety of nonfiction books covering topics from finance to religion. I think that a blog where I dove deeper into the motifs, themes, and applications of some of these books I enjoyed would allow me to not only strengthen my own perspective of what I believe the author was conveying, but also share this view with others.
Another possible topic for my blog would be to write about gymnastics. As a gymnast at Penn State, I have years of experience in training, competition, and watching/analyzing gymnastics. It is a major passion of mine and it could be interesting for me to share some of my knowledge about a sport that generally most people know very little about. While gymnastics itself is a very broad topic, I could do posts such as explaining how I learned a certain skill, explaining how the scoring system works, or reflecting on the results of a recent important competition.
Hi Will! I think a blog about gymnastics would be really unique. You obviously know a lot about the topic and I think lots of people would be interested to learn more. Gymnastics is one of my favorite sports to watch, but I don’t know much about it and it would be nice to hear about it from your perspective.
Hey Will! I think that both of these ideas will provide for an interesting blog to read this semester. With the idea surrounding the books, I think it will not only inform us of good books that we should consider reading, but also diversify your personal library. In the gymnastics route, I think you’ll open our eyes to experiences and skills that most of the class is currently not informed about. Both of these ideas sound great!
These are both great ideas. The book route can definitely give good recommendations to other people, but gymnastics is one of your passions. I think it would be really interesting to read about your experiences with gymnastics as it is something unique to you. It would also give us more insight into the gymnastics team at Penn State.
