The Compass workshop I feel was very informative. I can tell that there was a lot of effort put into this training session. Assumption College really cares about their students and wants them to be safe. In the session, we talked about language and behavior on campus, what is appropriate and what is not appropriate. Another topic that was discussed was about being a bystander and whether you are an Active bystander or a regular bystander. We also watched situational videos about what to do in uncomfortable and dangerous situations that could happen in college. Again, I believe that this workshop was very informative and helpful in avoiding future problems that could arise in college. 

Upon entering Assumption College on move-in day, the security guard greeted me with the inspirational expression “Light the Way”. I was very anxious and nervous for the path that lay ahead for me. My parents and my sister all came to help me move in. I couldn’t believe that I had made it to college. Every time we unloaded a box, I kept thinking that I was one step closer to being an independent college student. That terrified me. The fear of the unknown was, and still is, lingering over me. There were so many new things and sudden changes happening simultaneously. I wasn’t sure I could handle it. My first day of college I was a bundle of nerves due to the stress of classes, meeting professors, and the struggle to adapt to living with a stranger and make new friendships.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
