I think of myself as a writer. I think all people are writers in their own way. We all write in various forms everyday when we text, email, or communicate with other people. As a college student I am fortunate enough to be able to write both formally and informally. When I text my friends or share a post on Facebook, my tone is extremely informal and lackadaisical because my intended audience isn’t one that cares so much about my writing having a proper style. However, when I write a paper for class or send an important e-mail, I am sure to structure my writing in a way that clearly states my thoughts and ideas and emulates a form that represents a serious tone. My favorite form of writing is formal essays for class. Maybe it’s narcissistic of me, but I enjoy writing in a way that makes me feel educated. I feel like it causes people to take you more seriously when you can write in a manner that reflects your intelligence.

First Friday Reflection: Jan. 29 2016
This week in WRIT101 we talked about the importance of recognizing who your audience is and what your purpose is when writing. I learned how recognizing who your audience is and creating a “profile” of them in your mind will help your audience receive and understand your writing better. This is memorable because I believe it is an important aspect of writing. It will also help my audience to better understand my writing. I believe this concept will be useful in the future because I will continue writing different things for the rest of my life, whether it be for a class, a job, or any other purpose. I believe this could be immensely helpful in other classes, especially those in which I will be writing a lot because it will help my writing to be clearer and more effective.
