Who ARE you?


Hey there. I’m Shannon. And I want to start this whole blog-ball rolling by making it very clear that I am writing this as a class assignment. That means that a lot more rides on this for me than just the hope that a few people will read this and like it. My grade is at stake. My degree is at stake. In the early hours of the mornings I’ve been awaking in a cold sweat from nightmares of the dean snatching away my bachelor’s with a sneer. Or a snicker. Or maybe just a scowl. I’m not actually sure what my dean looks like so I can’t picture what expression would suit his face best. Or her face.

I need to get more involved in my school.

So, this blog will basically be humorous ramblings of a sleep-deprived college student. I love movies, so there’ll be some reviews. I like books, so there’ll be some reports. I like good grades, so there’ll be a substantial post at least once a week.

And I’d really like to say that I know exactly who my audience here is. I was expecting to really only be writing for my professor, my classmates, and any friends who would potentially be interested in what I have to say. But I’m afraid that my assumptions might be off. Because in the past few days, when this blog has only consisted of a four sentence post, this page has gotten almost ONE HUNDRED views. Who are you people? Is the internet that uninteresting? I mean, I’m flattered, but, Jeez. That threw me for a loop. I now have no IDEA who’s reading this.

So you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to just write. I’m going to write about myself, I’m going to write about media, I’m going to write about severe funny things.

So, until next week. Here’s hoping the internet churns out some more items of note. I’m not sure I could handle going viral.

  1. Many of your page views may be from Eastern European spammers looking for easy blog targets to post spam comments on.

    Sorry for harshing your buzz. :-(

    Also, yes. You need to get more involved with your school. :-)

    And finally, the new dean is, allegedly, a "he." The former dean was, arguably, a "she." Now you know. (And knowing is half the battle!)

  2. Even though this blog isn't really talking about any topic in particular I like your style.. it is casual but assertive at the same time haha I hope that doesn't sound creepy. Also I got super excited because I thought people cared about what I had to say as well. ..But thanks for clearing that up I guess Prof. *dreams crushed*
