Berkeley blogging: more than just telling your story....

So I've been blogging for Berkeley since the beginning of my college career here, and I've really come to enjoy sharing my experiences--as well as my not-so-good moments--with you all. Well, Berkeley is searching out more students to share their classroom and other experiences, as per Mike on Twitter. And let me tell you, it is probably one of the best things you can do for yourself. It's not just typing out your thoughts on a computer for the whole word to enjoy; it's communicating with your fellow students as well as faculty members and student alumni. You also get paid to talk about the school and the different activities that go on, as well as what's going on with your classes and concepts and ideas that you found interesting that week.

If you're somewhat hesitant, think of it this way: you're already advertising Berkeley when you're wearing the jerseys or you have the Berkeley Blue Card (which, by the way, saves you lots of time with regard to refunds) and use it in stores. It could get someone to asking about Berkeley College, and you're more likely to share this information with others. The field of study you're participating in is also likely to come up, and before you know it, you'll be talking about other fields of study and majors that people are interested in that may be offered at Berkeley. So in a sense, you're already advertising Berkeley. All you would have to do in this instance is get a blog account set up and start typing. One important thing: you MUST confine your blog entries to what's going on in Berkeley College (either on your campus or other Berkeley campuses). This is your personal blog, but it must always represent Berkeley College (and in a positive light). I hope others of you will join us who are already blogging.
