The Start of Something New!

Hello and welcome to my blog! As you can probably gather,  my name is Laura Doguet – pronounce it however you please! I am 18 years old and am currently a first year Media student at Melbourne’s RMIT University. I like to think of myself as a very positive and hardworking person, with big dreams and aspirations for my future.  A passion for media and content development struck me in my late years of high school and thus I spent Year 12 striving towards acceptance into this degree.

I have thought about starting a blog many a time but have found difficulty in deciding where and how to begin. What  I should call it, what to specifically blog about, who would be my niche audience… The list goes on. All these unanswered questions delayed me from actually getting started in doing something I wanted to do.

After semester one of uni was done and dusted, semester two commenced and as did a new stream of subjects . Within the first couple of days, a particular subject titled ‘Networked Media’ constantly stressed the value and importance of blogging. In fact, it is actually one of our assignments to upkeep a professional-style blog. This was exactly the push I needed to get my head into the blogger mindset.

So this leads me to here and now – my very first, official post! As I continue, I intend to find my online voice, develop my skills in website building and, overall, enhance my confidence in my own abilities. I hope to be able to make it fun and engaging, for both myself and any readers out there, whilst still adhering to the requirements of the subject.  Let the blogging begin!
