Happy 1st Blog Birthday

I cannot really believe that my dear little Notebook has made it to one year. From controversial posts about the first year of University being a waste of time, to more amusing thoughts on drunkenness, and even arguments that I feel strongly about such as commenters attacking writers, somehow the posts are still coming.

I have certainly learnt one thing: I am inspired by everything around me. This means that I haven’t really got a focus. However, it doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore  Even though a lot of my posts are about my life in France on Erasmus and the various things that have gone wrong (such as cake-making), I have recently been writing about other things too. I was interested by an original marketing campaign on YouTube by Heineken and even a social networking cartoon a few weeks ago took my fancy- and it was great to see that they took yours too as they were popular posts. Perhaps a variation isn’t such a bad thing, it is how BuzzFeed works after all.

The one thing I am sure about, is that I still love it. Writing is a lot of fun, choosing what to write about is an interesting challenge and working out how personal to make my posts is an exciting dilemma (maybe I went too far here…and here…).

I never knew that I would make it to birthday number 1, but I’m glad I did. I’m 60 posts down and I’ve still got lots to say. If you keep reading, I will definitely keep writing. Actually, I’ll probably keep writing anyway.
