In 2010 I volunteered for a pilot program from the GSC Marketing Dept.. Students, staff and alumni were recruited to blog for the college their experiences. I was to blog as an adult college student. I spent the year making a chronicle of my college journey. The good, the bad and the not so pretty.

The experience was an interesting mix. At times topics were easy to find but other times I really had to reach for engaging items to write about. It was a difficult task to keep the GSC's purpose of the blog and square it with who I was as a student. Another interesting aspect which I found challenging was having people respond to the blog. I felt writing this blog was akin to shouting in a room by myself.
Overall I enjoyed the experience and found it to be quite intriguing.
