5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Making A Blog
Youth Incorporated

Blogging has become incredibly popular in recent years, with thousands of people signing up to create and maintain their own websites. Acting as online journals, blogs can be about any topic of interest, and they often contain elements of photography or video. I own a blog myself, and the experience has helped me to grow as a writer and learn more about myself and my interests.

Here are five reasons why you should consider making a blog!

1. It's fairly inexpensive.

Blogging is almost always completely free, with several websites like Wordpress or Squarespace allowing you to create your own site free of charge. Although upgrading to a more complex website or purchasing a domain name may cost a bit, blogging is overall very inexpensive, and can usually be done completely free.

2. It can be about any topic you like!

Blogs can be on literally any topic you want, allowing you to share your opinions or experiences about whatever you’re interested in. Whether it be politics, restaurants, or even sharing your photography, a blog allows you to express yourself creatively about whatever you are passionate about.

3. You learn how to operate your own website.

By creating my own blog, I now know how to successfully create and manage a website, a skill that has been useful in school and other projects. It has taught me how to edit, import, and upload photos, as well as organize various sections and subsections on the website. All of these skills have helped me with my blog and other activities!

4. It improves your writing.

Writing is a useful skill to master no matter what profession you go into, and writing for your own blog definitely helps you to develop your own voice and style. It also helps you become more interested in writing since you’re writing about something you’re passionate about!

5. It's a fun hobby!

Blogging is actually super fun and something that people love to do since they choose to do it! Social media can also help to promote your site, and some people end up becoming lucky enough to make blogging their full-time career.

If you’ve ever considered making a blog in the past, or just want to grow as a writer or find a creative outlet, definitely take the next step to make one. You won’t regret it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
