Megan Time!

Ten years ago tomorrow was the day seventeen year old me decided to start my blog and publish my first post. One of the burning questions that many bloggers get is why did they start their blog? What inspired me to create my blog Megan Time ten years ago? Well, grab a drink and a snack because I'm about to tell you the story of my little blog.  History Lesson I'm going to take you back to May 2014. I was a seventeen year old in my first year of doing my A Levels and essentially in my penultimate year of school. Something that I really enjoyed doing in my spare time was watching YouTube. I think 2014 for most of us was the era where YouTube really kicked off. I watched a lot of British YouTubers like Dan & Phil and Zoella as well as some others. Now I kind of got a creative bug. I wanted to start my own thing and believe or not, I had dabbled in blogging before but nothing really concrete. I can remember I was trying to do a magazine/advice kind of blog but honestly, I don...

Today, I thought I'd make this post to talk about why I started blogging. To be honest I don't have a clear answer as to why I started blogging. I have gone back and forth with blogging before but when I was seventeen years old, I decided to start a blog back in May 2014. The main reason I started blogging was because I was bored and at the time YouTubers were at their prime but I was to shy to make a YouTube channel. Although blogging appealed to me because I didn't have to show my face. I can hide behind my blog and there's only a few photos of me. The main thing about blogging is ultimately the writing and I love being able to write blog posts. In the beginning I didn't really stick to my blog because at the time I was going through my A Levels and dealing with teenage issues. I only made 15 posts in 2014 but in 2015 was when I decided to take my blog more seriously. It was like my own personal online journal that I could write and other people could read....

Honestly I think everyone should get a blog because it's a great way to actually look back on the things you've done. I'm really glad I have a blog because I've been blogging now for five years. I was seventeen when I started this blog and I'm now a twenty two year old. I was actually looking back at some of my past posts and it's kind of interesting because I didn't have many well written posts in 2014 but I started to improve a little in 2015. That was also the year I finished school and went onto university so it was a kind of exciting year. Now I can look back on my uni years through these posts. I even have a room tour of my first uni room which is nice to look back on. It's just kind of nice because I have sometimes used this blog as a kind of diary to share some of my thoughts and feelings on life in general and it's great to look back on them and see how far I've come since then. It's also fun to see some of the little exciting ...

I made a post back in November asking why do I blog and I pretty much answered the question. I'll leave link to the post below so you can check it out. However, I've started thinking about the question of why do I still blog. I mean I'm not one of those famous bloggers, I don't earn money from this blog and I don't get much attention from it. I mean those could be reasons why I could stop blogging but honestly those reasons don't really matter to me. I just blog because I want to blog. I want to talk about things and I prefer this to actually making a bad quality video on YouTube. Mostly because this is more easier than filming, editing and uploading a video. This is just words typed out onto a laptop. It's very simple. Also I like the fact that I can wear what I like while I type this and not be judged for it. I'm currently in my pajamas with my hair tied up in a messy ponytail, wearing zero makeup and it feels great because I don't have to w...
