Phases

At the end of August many of us started the secondary school known as college. For many of us it was the beginning of a new phase of our lives. To some, starting college is a scary time, to others it is fun and exciting. And yet, to others it is just another school year.
For me, starting college was kind of scary. Even though I was not living in the dorms or on my own, just living at home and commuting several days per week. I was coming out of my comfort zone, and doing things entirely different than I have been for the past four years. Yet, my friends find it very exciting because they are moving out and away from home.
I hope that getting into a routine and becoming familiarized with the school will help me to be less scared. I also think, that even though I'm out of my comfort zone I will begin to be more excited towards what is to come in the next few years of college. Being scared is perfectly normal, but being excited is much more fun. Have a good semester and study hard!

I enjoy that you shared your true feelings about going back to school. By doing so, you gave me an insight into who you are.

Your gadgets and pictures are also a good way to share yourself with the reader. By seeing the books you read, I am able to learn a little more about you.

Your paragraphs were well developed, and it was good length.

I can't really think of anything I would change. Possible a few grammer things, but I could be wrong as I'm still working on sentence structure etc. :) I'd read your blog again for sure.

Kaei,

Honesty is an important aspect of writing for a blog. As Cassie noted, by sharing your true feelings (something which is always risky) you have allowed the reader in. An honest post is also more interesting to read. I like your positve attitude, keep it up and you will feel at home in no time.

Starting school has been kind of scary for me too. I've been out of school for 4 years, it has diffently been a change.

I guess my comment has nothing to do with your post, however it has to do with your bookshelf. I noticed that one of your favorite books was twilight. Well, we have something in common. I love those books, I guess you could call be obsessed. I am almost embaressed to say that I have cryed while reading them. I dont know how I feel about the fact that they are making a movie about them. It will be nice to see them as real people. But like most books to movies I am afraid that they wont do the book justice. If you would like to talk about it feel free to drop a comment.
