As I spend one night each month filling out my blog sheet (sadly I always cram it in the last minute) I have not yet found a blog that actually interests me. Do not get me wrong, the posts about college admissions, philosophical approaches, and literary merit interest me, but only to some extend. I enjoy reading them but more times then not, my responses have little if any emotion towards them. I do it for the assignment instead of the enjoyment that it brings me.
Today as I began filling out my blog sheet and responding to the different posts, I found myself drawn to "17 and Baking". I remember having taken a look at this blog before but figured that I would not be interested because to be honest, baking is not really a hobby that I enjoy. Every attempt leads to a uncontrollable mess, and the end result is never worth the time and effort. Let's face it, baking is just not my thing.
Despite my lack of enthusiasm, I began reading and found myself drawn to the blog. It is not only about baking, but is instead about a 19 year old girl and her journey through college. She attends school somewhere in Boston, and has many significant insights not just on baking but on life as well. I find myself relating to many of the things that she says, and am actually interested in reading her posts. Her blog is something that I enjoy reading, and help myself when I continue scrolling down the page so that I can read more and more of her entries. If you have not taken the time to look at it, I encourage you to do so. It may not be "your cup of tea" but it may just interest you as it did for me.
