Kay, now that that's settled...
So, this Won't Shut Up features reading and the amount of time I have to read. Let's address people other than me. So some of you are already out of school and working on your job, being an adult and all that jazz. I have some friends in College already and they're on their way, but me, I'm still in school. Basically, this is how I feel about reading throughout the year.
I have to write this but Nova's 14. Some of you know that "Nova" is this alter ego I blog under. I created her to be a year older than "I" am just because it was cool. But "I" am actually 13 meaning I'm starting 8th Grade, not high school. Now that, that's out of the way.
By the time this goes up, I'll already be about 2 weeks into school and how that's going, I don't know. I assume that I'll be getting homework by even then and that'll start my reading ignoring streak. And that's what I want to talk
I'm lazy. I'm just going to confess that. Blogging, writing, doing my homework is something I've been doing last minute so I have to take time management classes. Even scheduling blog posts for the future is something hard for me and it's just... weird. But let's get to the topic of reading. Basically, I'm honestly scared. I'm scared of being one of those people who posts content very seldom because I'm in the school brain. Im scared that I'm going to stop talking to my friends and people are going to forget about me. And I'm the most scared about letting you guys down. No, I'm not sper popular, but I do value the viewers that I DO have.
School is something that's very important to me. It's where I break my back to make amazing products that'll pay off when I need to apply to Uni or College. So that being said, I usually ignore my reading habits.
In the summer, I can read about a book a day and even two books sometimes. That's the normal for me. I'll also do a lot of typing because that's what makes me happy. I've seen that last year, when I started school, I started sleeping five hours a night, ignored my books, made less than 100% quality posts but hey, I'm acing all my classes.
So I wanted to write this post because of my New Grade fears. Blogging has become my love and I didn't do it last year. This is something completely new for me and I just want someone to tell me that it's going to be okay or that I can do this because I can schedule all my posts in advance. It happens every year, even without blogging so this year, I don't know what's going to happen.
If you're starting school too and you want to give your thoughts, don't forget to comment. (I read all of them!)
Oh my gosh. This is literally how I feel. I mean, I have a lot less readership than you, so at least I feel a little less guilty, but I totally get where you're coming from. Part of the reason I started my blog is to try to get myself to keep up some sort of a reading habit during the school year because I'll just stop reading anything outside of what I have to.
ReplyDeleteSo I suppose that while I don't have any advice, given that I'm in a similar position, I am wishing you the best of luck!
ighth grade is really fun, though, it's the last year of school you have before everything you do starts to apply for college and stuff, and just try to enjoy eighth grade because people really crack down on you in sophomore year. (Freshman year kind of is like a subtle transition and it's a little intense so far but still pretty good)
ReplyDeleteI think the only advice I can give you, based off of my eighth grade experience, is that the first two or three months you fall kind of behind but then you slowly get back on track with blogging. The only thing I could recommend would be to try your best to just keep on top of things for the time being
