Reflecting upon the Student Blogging Challenge by Edublogs

Okay, so we're here already!

Last post for the Student Blogging Challenge March - May 2020.

It's been a new experience. Yeah, probably because I've never participated in a blogging challenge ever before much less one specifically for students.

And, reading other's works has been quite interesting too. Getting more than one point of view on a subject does broaden one's horizon.

Admittedly, I couldn't commit 100% to the challenge. I even missed a week or two in the middle. But it wasn't for nothing.

Besides, to quote Hank Green from one of his videos, I know more stuff now!

So, throughout the course of the challenge, I wrote a total of 6 blog posts (including this one, the number sounds awfully small now, whoops!) Should've definitely written more.

Here's some questions about the challenge as a task to answer in this post:

1. How many weeks of the challenge did you participate in?
6 weeks
2. How many posts did you write in the 8 week period?
6 posts
3. Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why?
I'd say Thoughts during an extremely boring chemistry class and Schools around the world both. In the former I share my favorite poem written by me from 2019. In the latter, I talk about my most recent struggle in the academic area and how I dealt with it, with a little background on Indian education system in the high-school years.
4. Which web tools did you use to show creativity on your blog?
I used word processor to write all my blog posts. Other than that, I use pinterest and picollage to create my covers and the avatar post was created using this website called Avatar Maker.

As for future blog plans, I'll be honest, no promises or commitments. Since this is a platform where I share my thoughts at my convenience and will, it's quite flexible. Besides, it's not like one can have full control of his/her thoughts anyway. I'll try to post as frequently as possible though.

So, thank you for being my audience! If you participated in the challenge let me know how your experience turned out as well!

On The Concept Of Random Capitalization (and standing out)

It’s unique. From what I know, it was introduced in John Green’s book, Paper towns in which the main protagonist, Margo Roth Spigelman believes in the concept of random capitalization. According to that, iT Is oKAy foR a sentTEnce tO Go LiKE this. Pretty cool right? It makes her stand out in the book because of her uncommon beliefs but how she justifies it seems just right. She thinks that the rules of capitalization are too unfair to the words in middle. Which is justified. Also, kind of extraordinary. Although, I must say, Microsoft Word wasn’t happy with my random capitalization, its red lines under the text. I believe that it is unique and actually good because w...

On The Annual Whirr Of Excitement

The annual whirr of excitement, as I just quoted it. In simple words, the excitement/fear/anxious feelings among all of us on entering our first board year, grade 10. There’s this whirr of excitement. It’s there every year, it’s there this time too. Although, I must say people are kind of reluctant and nobody was actually excited because as each year passed, the difficulty level, knowingly or unknowingly, shot up. But we were also keen on freeing ourselves from grade 9 so, I guess ultimately, it was inevitable. *Shrugs her shoulders* Every year we’re excited about new books, friends, hopefully more likeable and lenient teachers than last time, which makes up for most part of our worries before we begin our one year journey and we also hope that this one turns out to be better than the last one. Is this whirr going to last? Well, its annual actually, it comes, stays for some time and leaves. It lasts mostly for two to three weeks until the newness of everything sinks amongst...

Thoughts On An Airplane

Its night time and I’m on an airplane and when I look down, all I can see are specks of illumination, a sign of life. If I were to exaggerate and speak, there is no square metre of land that is accessible to us and not owned by us. By us, I mean humans. Individually we may or may not own a lot of land. But if you see it amongst us humans, we have huge portions of it. Like, huge. So large they can house millions, hold cities, metropolises. From above, the land looked so vast. And the vastness did not fail to fascinate me. It was as if an enchanting spell. So much that I'm yet to comprehend. I have to admit you get a better view from a height. Okay following this statement, it might go a little on the crazy side. By crazy I mean my hopelessly imaginative side. Flying over cities, like I said, I see specks of light. They look like stars in the night sky. Sure they don't twinkle. But there's spots of light in the dark. Just like we see in the sky. Apologies, bu...
