My Blog Idea

My blog idea is to watch an episode of your favorite T.V. show and then blog about it, whether it be a reflection or comparison to your own life or a free writing based on the creativity it inspired. This combines watching T.V. with doing homework and I think it'd definitely be helpful in coming up with something to write about. Seeing as a lot of students watch their favorite show on a nearly daily basis, it wouldn't be time consuming and it would be a writing assignment that doesn't stray far off the students day.

I chose an episode of scrubs. Scrubs is my favorite show because all in one episode it can make you laugh, be sad, understand something you could never understand before, and it's extremely emotion yanking. At the end of every episode, J.D., the main character sums up the episode into a deep life lesson. In this episode the lesson at the end was "It's hard to own up to your shortcomings. Like, for instance, your own hypocrisy. Still, once you do own up, you might be surprised to see that you did make a difference. I always assumed that growing up happened automatically as he got older, but it's really something you have to choose to do." I love that last line, it's been stuck in my head. I feel like I can always relate/learn from this show. It gets me thinking, I don't just brush it off and start up a new episode. I felt the same way until a couple months ago when I finally realized growing up is a choice. Since then I've been working on my bad habits and trying to break them. I go to college in a few years and I want to really be absolutely ready for it. This episode really made me reflect on my own life, which every now and then is extremely important. Instead of waking up and doing the same things over and over I've been trying my best to try and do the things I've been doing forever, but just slightly better. Change doesn't ever come right away, and I'm an impatient person so I get frustrated easily when I spot a personal flaw and it won't go away immediately. With patience and commitment though I should be able to slowly but surely make some positive changes.
