Testing, Check. Is this thing on?

So this is my first blog post. I don't know if there is a format, or what people expect me to write about. My teacher in Media Writing basically forced every student in his class to get a blog. Almost everyday he tells us that 500,00 people are full time bloggers. They receive a bi-weekly pay check to express their opinions. Opinions people might not care about and blogging is their only job. They could write from the toilet and kick puppies in their free time yet they have a full time job. And 2 million people are part time bloggers. 2.5 people get paid to write about anything they want. Thus, if we have blogs then we have a better chance at getting a job.

Since I am a junior in college, with an economy that sucks, this gives me a leg up. My teacher also said that we should have Facebooks and Twitters. He told us that some companies will not even give us second glances, will throw our resumes in the trash, will laugh at us around the water cooler if we do not have more than 2000 followers on either site. They think: How is this twenty- something kid fresh from college suppose to market our company if she can't even market herself?

First of all, I don't know 2000 people by name. Second, I don't want 2000 people to know me, and to be interested in what I am doing at all hours of the day. I can definitely friend strangers for a company and make them interested in products or events, but I will leave the stalkers to Jessica Simpson and Anderson Cooper.

I am pretty sure this blog is suppose to be about one subject that I am interested in being an expert in. I am not an expert in anything. But I do think a lot so I will probably be able to fill this thing up with writing. Most of the time, it will be ranting about society in general. Tonight I am annoyed at the person who took up two parallel spaces on the curb. Not only did he/she take up a good two spaces, the blue Jetta is parked the wrong way. So I had to park about 1/3 of a mile away. But I get over it quickly and will probably park the same place next weekend. Hopefully Tech will at least look presentable tomorrow in football. Go Hokies!
