The most exciting writing I do outside of this class is for my own pleasure. I have recently began this activity actually. I have started to write in a journal that’s saved in my e-mail, where I just write about my life. I was motivated to begin this ritual upon entering college as I feel it necessary to write down and reflect upon the changes in my life. I try to write in it every day, though of course, this doesn’t always happen. This writing isn’t all too different from the personal narrative writing as I’m still narrating in my journal. It’s also my personal account. It’s different in terms of formality as in my journal, I write about whatever pops in my mind, without worrying about a thesis and all the other wonderful stuff that writing a formal essay entails.
The other writing that’s quite frequent for me is writing essays for my Comparative Politics class. These essays are always argumentative. So this writing is similar to what I will be beginning for this class. It’s similar because I have to make an argument and then provide evidence to support whatever I’m trying to prove. It’s different because obviously, in Comparative Politics, I write about political topics, whereas in this class, it’s an account of my own experience.
That’s really all the outside writing I am currently doing. I’m sure as the year goes by, more classes will become more extensive with more writing!!
