Three Claps For Alyson!!

                  Looking through all of the freshmen blogs one that I was able to relate to the most was by Alyson Battista. Her blogs are well written and I feel like they speak to the college age crowd. They are easy to relate to and keep the read intrigued as to what she has to say.

                  The blog that really kept my attention that she had written was called One Big Happy Family. It was about the Convocation Ceremony for the class of 2016. It was a ceremony where it welcomed all of the incoming freshmen with a big gathering, almost like a graduation, but the complete opposite. During the ceremony they spoke about how important our class is to Southern. Also they spoke about us as a class being a strong force to do whatever it is that we want to do. All in all it was a very nice ceremony and it was a great welcome from some of the staff that participated in it.

                  In Alyson’s blog she did a great job writing about what happened in the ceremony, in a way where others our age can identify and enjoy her writing. I enjoyed the way that she used comparisons to Legally Blonde and Harry Potter. I had a similar comparison to her except mine was Harry Potter and the Dead Poets Society. Her summary of what took place did not drag on or ramble about random things. It was short and straight to the point but just in way where young adults can relate to what she is saying.

                  Grading Alyson’s blog I would give her an `A’. All of her blogs are relatable and she is great at explaining her point without making her readers loose interest in what she’s writing about. And that is a key quality to have in a blogger because that is how you keep an audience.
