It's like being on the X Factor, there's only one winner.

Not everyone has an easy time putting what they want to say into words. And what we do, we say in different ways.  So when I was asked to find a blog or two that I feel deserve an A grade, I knew I was in for a task.  I’m not an expert on blogs, which ones are good and which ones aren’t. So who am I to judge? When choosing the blog, I asked myself the following questions; “Would I follow this blog? Does this blog have content that I enjoy reading and do I have an interest in this person’s opinions/ views?” After looking at several blog, I found one that answered all those questions with a ‘yes’.  I chose Jillian’s blog, “When in doubt. Be brave” to receive an A. Her title alone, while it’s creative, it tells something about her and how she views things. Looking through her posts, I noticed that her writing had a good flow to it and she puts her own opinions into it. The pictures she chooses to add tend to summarize what she’s trying to say. While her post titles may not be the most creative, the actual content is. One of her posts I found the most interesting was “Hard Work Vs. Talent”. She compares a student here at Southern to another at Yale, and gives us her definition of the word ‘smarter’. I found her opinion and honesty that “money can bring you happiness” very interesting and well put. While this statement in my eyes seems controversial, she mentions that hard work and success are factors in that statement, which even I agree with.  Jillian makes her opinions clear in her posts, which I like. It gives you a chance to see what people are really thinking, whether or not they say them out loud.
