The Internet is full of bloggers like myself who enjoy
engaging college students on the difficulties and challenges of a college life.
Millennials are essentially the largest consumers of the Internet and are
always searching for tips and advice from different perspectives.
One blog that stuck out to me in particular is a People blog
on usnews.com written by Kelci Lynn Lucier. Her main focus in many of her blogs
is around college students and situational events that may occur to any student
during their four-years at a university.
Some of her most notable blogs dealing with college students
are called:
“How to Get Some R&R During College Breaks”
“Embrace Growth and Change in a Student’s First Year”
“How To Survive on Limited Funds Until Semester Breaks”
“Learn to Manage Your Time in College”
and many more… Click the link below to check out the links
to all of her articles.
Her blogs go way beyond what I try to write about. My main
focus is the balance to a college life but she exceeds my ideas by writing
about interesting situations that students might not know how to handle.
A unique blog of hers is about “5 non traditional ways to
Celebrate Valentine’s Day in College.” This blog post gives out a different
perspective to a student that just doesn’t mean they need a significant other
on Valentines Day. One interested point she made in the blog was to consider
volunteering. Volunteering is a great way to enjoy the fun on Valentines Day
and provide a community service with a local organization!
One useful blog that every college students should read about
is her blog post about New Years resolutions for students. Personally, I always
find it funny by how packed the campus gym gets after students return from
winter break. Surely students are trying to lose some weight but this goal
seems unrealistic for most students, especially once midterms come around and
they have no time to hit up the gym…that is what usually happens… What are left
are your usual gym-goers.
Lucier’s tips regarding your new years resolution are simple
but note worthy:
1.
Set realistic expectations
2.
Set both specific and holistic goals
3.
Focus on the means, not just the ends.
These are just a few of her blog posts that she has written
since 2011. She has received positive feedback from many of her readers
including numerous shares of her blog posts to Facebook, twitter, and many more
social media outlets.
It’s hard to engage college students to prove that you are a
trustworthy source. If you have been writing blogs for years regarding the
college life, then you should be considered a credible source. For me, I’m
still new to writing my blogs but am learning through my own experience and
others on how to become more reliable.
Stay tuned for next week’s blog.
