Blogs: Where Everyone’s Got Something to Say Whether you Asked or Not.

-

Blogs are like a never-ending conversation, and this week, I was given my first experience of the never escaping conversation and universe of blogs. While blogs offer a platform of diverse voices, I believe they aren't regularly appealing for me (hypocritical, I know) and can't see myself reaching for them. However, after researching many, I came to particularly like the Rolling Stone blog which covers interesting stats and articles about music. Though, I also came across the stocks and investments blog Seeking Alpha that I wasn't as enthralled in. The blog page for the Rolling Stone is a very organized and a visual appealing blog I highly enjoy, whereas the Seeking Alpha blog does not appeal to me due to lack thereof.


Alright, so let's talk about these blogs, the Rolling Stone versus Seeking Alpha. It's kind of like comparing a rock concert to a class. Over on the Rolling Stones, they're providing music news, pop culture deep dives, and a little bit of politics, but it's all wrapped up in a jam that makes you want to keep reading. Also, upon visiting the site, you're greeted with rocking pictures and groovy colors that truly hook the reader in. Seeking Alpha, on the other hand, is like sitting through Econ 101. It's all about the numbers, stocks, and market analysis. Now, if you're into that, cool, but it's not exactly a page-turner for most of us. Unlike Rolling Stone, there weren't many pictures but rather a number conglomerate and charts. Rolling Stone just gets how to keep you hooked with jazzy stories and more, while Seeking Alpha is more like a textbook, informative, sure, but about as exciting as watching paint dry.

So, when it comes to blogs, it's clear that Rolling Stone and Seeking Alpha differ widely. One has great music and stories, while the other's crunching numbers in a quiet room. It really boils down to what you're looking for, a good time or a deep dive into the stock market. For most of us, Rolling Stone wins for its engaging style and broad appeal, proving that a blog's got to be more than just informative, but also a good read.

Blog 6: Yes, I'm Obsessed with Tangible Media

      Some of My Polaroids: In a world filled with digital cameras and smartphones, taking pictures has never been easier, but also feels a little less meaningful at times. A solution, polaroid! Polaroid cameras bring back the charm of instant, tangible photos. Instead of scrolling through thousands of pictures on a screen, you get to hold a physical print just seconds after snapping the shot. Polaroids make each photo feel special, offering the unmatched feeling of holding a memory in your hands. Polaroids also invite us to slow down and be intentional. With limited film and no delete button, each shot counts. It’s a refreshing change from digital photography. Endless retakes can make moments feel less genuine. When you use a Polaroid, you’re not just taking a picture, but rather creating a one-of-a-kind memory that can’t be replicated or edited. Finally, Polaroids bring a sense of nostalgia and connection that digital photos can’t match. Whether you’re ha...

Balancing school, friends, and figuring out life can be a lot, but finding hobbies that chill you out is key. For me, that's diving into painting, getting lost in music, and geeking out over my collections. It's how I hit the reset button and keep my sanity. Hobbies provide an escape for many and contribute to a better overall well-being. So, these hobbies (and more) offer a balanced approach to leisure and personal enrichment. image source When I'm not stressing about college, you can usually find me with a paintbrush in hand. I'm no Van Gogh, but there's something super therapeutic about slapping some color onto a canvas and seeing what happens. Music is always a must while painting, it helps get the vibes right! The music provides an extra layer of inspiration, transforming a simple painting session. Collecting is another one of my quirks. It started with something small, but now I'm obsessed. It's a fun way to learn about new stuff and connect with other...

Let's be honest, LEGOs aren't just for kids. Sure, they're a fantastic toy that can spark imagination and creativity, but they're also a powerful tool for adults seeking stress relief.
