I've been gone for a month and well, that's because I didn't really feel like writing. Sorry, let me rephrase that: nothing I wrote felt right. I knew that keeping this blog updated may or may not aid my university applications and that if I wanted to maintain what little views I have, I have to keep writing-- but, I simply didn't feel like it. No topic seemed interesting enough. No topic seemed just right. I wasn't inspired.
Therefore, it brought me to the question: would it be better for me to continue writing even when at times, my posts could seem monotone and repetitive--as long as I have something to share weekly? Or would it be better if I only wrote occasionally, only when I feel like I have something worth-sharing? It's the age-old: Quantity vs. Quality. Personally, I would choose quality in most situations as I am a very anxious person who constantly worries about whether I've done my best or if I've even done enough-- it doesn't matter how long I spent doing it or how much I've obsessed over it, I still get anxious. Therefore, it's always quality over quantity for me. However, recently, when I was submitting my applications to universities, I included this blog in my list of activities. And, with the link to this blog included in my application, it wouldn't be surprising if admissions officers at least check this blog out. My worry, therefore, is whether they would care more about how often I post (if whether they'd just glance through the website) or what I write about (in the case that they read a few posts, instead of having a quick scroll of the site). In the case of the former scenario, wouldn't it be better then for me to post more often, even when I have nothing particularly interesting to say? *sigh* If you're an admission officer and you happen to be reading this, please enlighten me.
