Blog Experience

I have enjoyed doing this blog this past semester. I hope I can still write a blog every week. Now, I feel I will have the freedom to write about whatever I’m thinking about at the time. The only trouble I had with this blog was finding something on topic to write about. I never knew how hard it was to write 200 words about a topic till this class.

I think I picked a good subject to talk about. The apparel industry and sports world collide a lot. It was just hard sometimes to find news stories every week talking about it. I found myself writing more about topics related to what had been talking about in class than the topic my blog was supposed to be about. I guess if I could do it all again maybe I would have picked a topic that would be in the news every week. The reason I picked this topic in the first place because of my background in both sports and the apparel industry. I grew up a sports fanatic and in all accounts I’m still the same fanatic as I was when I was little. I have a bachelor’s degree in Apparel and Textile Engineering with a concentration in Textiles from Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, GA.

I enjoyed the class in general. It was challenging because I’m not good when it comes to finance and economics. I think even though I would want to do multiple choice that the essay questions helped us understand the subject matter better. I understand the basic concepts a lot more now than when I was taking economics.
