Hey guys,
It's so sad, this is our last blog post before the assignment is due! First off, I loved doing this blog. It was something I never thought I would end up doing but I am glad I had the chance too. Secondly, I want to thank everyone who took the time to read my blog posts and would write comments either answering the questions I would ask or even just telling me how you felt about my posts. I appreciated every comment I received!
Well, it's kind of funny how things work out. This last post is due right after Thanksgiving so it's perfect for me to say a few things. So we all know that we completely ate EVERYTHING this past Thursday and wasn't it fantastic?! I know my food was! But knowing us, we always eat a lot then before you know it we are saying to ourselves, "Oh man, I probably shouldn't have had seconds or thirds" or "I shouldn't have had all of that pie". I do admit, I am a little guilty of this but I just want to say that it was ONE day, and you deserved it! I highly doubt that anyone ever eats like that everyday so why not allow yourself to have a splurge? So guys...don't race to the gym and work out for ten hours...you are still wonderful and beautiful! Don't feel bad about yourself for one day! :)
The last part of my final blog is a little something about me. I used to train a lot at the gym but when I came to A&M I had to drop it for a while because my trainer was back in Houston. Usually in the beginning before we start to work out and train, my trainer always asks me what my goal is and what do I want to change about appearance. Well before I started this blog, I was still pretty good about not letting myself get down over things like "perfection" and such, but when I was asked those questions I would always find tons of things I would want to change and then tell my trainer. When I was asked those same questions this year, it took me longer than usual to answer because I actually really thought to myself, "Is there really something so wrong with me that I HAVE to have it changed now?" Yes, I understand someone who is obese, there goal would be to lose weight, or someone who wants to be able to run a marathon, there goal would be to learn how to run efficiently over a long period of time. But a few minutes later I found myself just telling my trainer, "This year there is really nothing that I want to change about my appearance, I just want to become a better athlete."
I just thought I would share that with y'all because without even realizing it, my own blog had an effect on me as well.
I enjoyed blogging with everyone and I hope that the rest of y'alls semester is great!
Katie.

It's good to see how you have evolved from this project. You have made my eye keener to this topic when it comes to advertisement and other media. Sad to see your blog end!!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to achieve self-actualization during college, but what you say is so true. We can constantly change our appearance, but what value does it really have? Great post! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog Katie! You definitely created a positive message that I hope many people out there can take in and learn from. Best Wishes!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog this semester. I actually made a comment on my rubric about your blog because I really liked how you expressed yourself and did it very very effectively. Thanks for a great blog.
ReplyDeleteYou chose an awesome topic for your blog this semester. I believe more people, especially girls, should think more like you do. Everyone is always obsessed with the way they look, even gorgeous models. No one is perfect, and I think you delivered that message very effectively throughout your blog posts.
ReplyDeleteYour blog was so interesting all semester. Like others have said, your message is really positive and you seem very passionate about what you talk about!
