Well today it is exactly one year since I wrote ‘Finally Starting A Blog’ and begun Doing It On My Terms.
I’m honestly slightly surprised that I’ve managed to make a
full year of blog posts. Certainly if you look at the amount I posted in
November and December of 2016 it does look somewhat doubtful if I was going to
continue. However one of my New Year Resolutions for 2017 was to work more on
my blog and develop it.
One thing that helped me to keep going was when I began the
My Haul posts, I love collecting stuff and those posts have given me both the
opportunity to share that love of collecting and the chance to show off my
latest purchases. I enjoy writing reviews, the Doctor Who reviews where good to
write each week and I’m also proud of my Wonder Woman Review.
Probably the post that I have linked to the most is ‘Why Tiana is the Best Disney Princess’ which I seem to have linked to every single
time I’ve mentioned anything about Tiana.
Coming to Canada to Study Abroad has also given my blog a
new lease of life, I have really enjoyed sharing my thoughts and opinions as I
start to learn about this great country. Since I arrived in Canada my views
have risen and I know my blog is being read by many people throughout the floor
I live on.
I thought for the one year anniversary I would share what
the five most popular posts on this blog have been (at the time of writing) and
give you my opinion on them in retrospect.
Honestly it has always slightly surprised me that this has
always been one of the most popular posts I have ever written. It was only the
second post on the blog and looking back at it I know I could have done better.
However I think the honesty I wrote with was good and that sort of honesty is
something I’ve always attempted to maintain.
This was written pretty quickly because I’d had a goal in
mind to write something in the first few days after I arrived in Canada. But I
think it does a good job of concisely summing up what I was feeling in those
first few days.
Before I began writing this post I worried that it might
come across as being a bit too abstract however I think it did a good job of
translating how I felt about getting to know a new city in a new country.
I’m pretty proud of this post, and I am still happy
in my accommodation over here. It’s quite appropriate that this post is in the
same list as So That’s What Having
Friends Is Like because the experience I’m having right now living in
accommodation is what I wanted back in first year and what I was reflecting on
in that post.
This is my most viewed post since I began the blog! If I was
to guess why this post has been so popular I would say that it’s because the friends
I’ve made in Canada are interested to see if they agree with my opinion on
night classes and my friends back in the UK are probably curious about what
night classes are like because we don’t really have them in the UK.
So, here’s to another year of this blog! I would be
interested to know what my reader’s favourite blog posts have been. I hope you
will all keep reading as I share my life, hobbies, and interests and just keep
doing it on my terms.
