Hi, I was just curious here.
About a year ago I found a strong interest in a certain subject area and while wondering how to sort of express this interest I just decided to start a blog on a whim. I just made this very basic website on Wordpress and I published like four posts and haven’t really gone back to it since.
I saw quite a few people (both BS applicants and just college applicant resumes in general) blogging as part of their extracurricular – for instance writing computer science-related blogs and gaining like 10k followers. I mean I’m pretty sure this would get you across as dedicated in that subject but in a practical sense is this actually valuable? Like earlier today I’m not sure if this is because of my poor research skills but I tried to look at some famous blogs actual high schoolers wrote, like related to science or biology, and I ended up not rlly finding any.
Anyways let me just get my points/questions across:
So if any of you guys have experience blogging or know someone who has “successfully” done so as an “extracurricular”
- What topic have you blogged about, and what were your blogs about (I would really appreciate it if you sort of go specific)
- Do you know any blogs/websites that high schoolers have created (so that I can take a look at them and kind of get a sense of what type of blogs they are?) If so could you please link the website or dm me.
- What is the process to creating a blog, specifically regarding an education blog by a high schooler? Any advice (regarding the blogging platform, ways to get the blog known, etc)?
Thank you so much!!
PS. a fellow bs applicant here, best of luck for m10!!
