Hold on to your seats everyone. Here we go…
OKAY PEOPLE! Enough procrastinating, enough distractions, and please let’s stop with the perfectionism! I’m sorry, but I’m just going to have stop, man-up* and start this thing.
“But how?!” I hear you cry. WELL, we could go for the ‘honest approach’. You know, the “I’m sitting here in front of my computer with no idea what to write…”, but let’s face it, it’s been done (mostly because I’ve left it until now to actually post a blog…).
Then again I could hook you in with some world-breakingly amusing witticism and go thesaurus mad with some insanely long vocab. But then again, that’s old news.
Honestly after all the stressing and the thinking and the googling and re-googling, I have decided you don’t want any of that. I’ve decided (not that I don’t value your opinion, it’s best for the both of us this way) that I’m going to cut the today-tonight vibe and stop over dramatising a realistically simple blog.
Again I hear you say, “It hasn’t got your name on it!” Well, this blog does (see overly-large title above) and it’s actually quite intimidating to be held-responsible for your own opinion and realistically being able to say what ever the hell you want.
I’ve also decided as journalism students we should try to widen our vocabulary. Not only to sound impressive (and let’s face it, you kinda need to when you tell people you’re doing an Arts degree) but to become better writers and overall more well rounded human beings (you can thank me later).
And yes, it did take all of my restraint not to put a ‘lol’ or smiley face into this blog, what can I say, I’m a Y-gen.
