Want to Know Me?

My name, as you may know, is Samantha Barry.  My nickname is Sami and my pseudonym is Samara.  I go by so many names because I feel that each part of me goes into different things.  Samantha is what my mother calls me, and what I expect to hear in a serious situation.  Samara is only what I am known as in the poetry community.  Sami, my common, everyday self, is who you will be learning about.  Through creating my own blog, I am learning about and discovering others.  By this I can learn and explore more about my own personal interests.  In order to understand my thoughts and opinions a little more, I am going to give you some insight into my interests.

The first one I am going to talk about is marine biology.  It is my major in college and I am hoping to do research with sharks.  By looking at blogs such as I can’t bear the ignorance any longer. Spread the facts: SHARK FIN SOUP IS BAD, I can learn more about my favorite animal and the crucial issues surrounding my future career.  By using blogs I can keep up with any research updates in my field of study, and maybe even use them as sources for my classes!

The next interest of mine that I will discuss is gaming.  I am a decently hardcore gamer and am always interested in finding out about new games and new cheats for them.  I can use blogging for this by looking at blogs such as What's Hot to find out what is popular and is worth trying out.  

Finally, I will talk about my love for fiction.  I love reading books, and especially ones about vampires and demons.  My fantasy interest can be expanded by using blogs by looking at ones such as New Books for July.  Blogs like this can help me learn about new books, and hear what other people think of them.  When I read about them, I can form my own opinion on whether it is worth reading or not.

As portrayed, blogs can help me in many ways.  I can use them to explore my personal interests or even as sources for school work.  I would encourage everyone to look for blogs that interest them and, as I am still learning about them, I will as well.  Remember that sometimes other people may have the same opinion as you, and blogs are a great place to find those people.
